Penality skill levels and multiple attacks

[Spideydave]

One of my players has bought Penality skill levels vs multiple attack he has bought 4 levels.

When he goes to attack three opponents he is at a minus 4 per attack. Does he get to use his penality skill levels for each of his attack rolls? Therefore he is at 0 penality for all three attacks.

Am I reading it right or are we doing it wrong?

There's a way to do what your friend wants, but it's not with PSLs. As stated on 6E1 84, characters can't buy PSLs to counteract the standard OCV penalty imposed by a Combat or Martial Maneuver. However, a character could buy Combat Skill Levels of various sorts that would apply when making a Multiple Attack; see 6E2 77 for specific rules on this. See also 6E2 75-76 for rules about how you determine a character's OCV with a Multiple Attack.

 

If after all that you're still unsure of how things should work, please post a follow-up question and we'll go into it some more. Good luck with your game!
