I had my group take on a couple of Ghouls tonight, and one of the characters ended up getting clawed pretty badly.
I personally will not bother doing anything with the HMHVV on the player, since it was only a scratch. If the character had been bitten, that would have been another story. So, fellow GM's. How would you handle it? Would you have the scratched character suffer a chance of coming down with the virus? Would you only do it if the character got bit? And, how would you have handled the character either contracting the virus or fighting it off, rule wise? Outrunner |
