Hey all, I apologise if the following questions have already been answered but I would appreciate some clarification on the following. Having only recently acquired the rulebook, I am a little uncertain how everything works.
Zombies
"Destroy the Brain": Some of the zombies have the special effect "Destroy the Brain", which states that doubles rolled on uncancelled positive dice mean that the creature is immediately destroyed. But does the attack have to hit them first (ie. do you still need to have rolled at least one number under the characteristic/attribute in question)? What happens if you roll doubles but no positive die result is equal to, or under, the attribute?
Stress: If a zombie with the above quality, or even one without it, suffers 9 physical stress (after resistance is taken into account), is it then destroyed? Or will it continue to be a nuisance until someone rolls doubles on the positive dice?
Recovering from Trauma
At the end of the "recovery" period for a trauma, you perform a check against the relevant defensive attributes. If you have negative dice left over, do you take on more stress like in a normal test? Also, do you have to count rest periods for each trauma separately, or could you, say, rest for a week and then perform a recovery check for two Severity 2 traumas?
Any help would be appreciated!
