[Rq-rules] Opportunity Attacks.

[Bjorn Stolen]

In my houserules, I let allmost all combat be decided by resistance-rolls, so in that sence, if someone is attacked by 10 dudes in one turn, he's able to let his skills to fight be in action in 10 rolls that turn. But he's probably going down, because I give him a hefty minus modifier per person he's outnumbered by. 
 
If someone attacks him from behind, I still let him roll, but he's probably going down, because I give him a hefty minus modifier for not knowing an attack is incoming (he still gets to roll, as he could be so drilled in combat manouvre, that he don't allow people to creep up on him, even when engaged in front).
