Fighting: To fight the zombies in your room, follow these steps

in order:

1. Bravery: Make a CH check (+/- Zombie DM). If you pass,

gain 1 Will. If you fail, you lose Will according to
one Zombie’s W-DMG.
2. Ranged Attack: If the room is 6 squares or larger you
may make a ranged attack. Roll a DE check (+/- Zombie
DM). If you succeed, apply weapon damage to the
Zombie’s LF .
3. Melee Attack: You MUST now make a melee attack using a
ST check (+/- Zombie DM). If you succeed, apply the
weapon’s damage to the Zombie’s LF. If you fail, roll
the H DMG for one Zombie and apply it to your health.
4. Defending: If you have no melee weapon you must still
make a ST check to defend against the enemy attack. If
you reach 0 health, your character dies. Game Over.
5. Repeat: Repeat this entire process (including the
bravery check each round) until either you die or
you’ve killed all the Zombies in the room.

Infection: When you take H-DMG from a zombie, roll a D20 +/-
the Zombies DM, - the amount of DMG you just took. If the
result is ≤1 you gain 1 Infection. If infection equals your
max Health, make a ST check. Fail: become a zombie. Pass:
Reduce Infection by D6.

The Boss: The boss is usually entry #6 on the Zombie chart. The
boss will not appear until you’ve encountered all the other
Zombies on the chart at least once. After that, the boss will
appear when rolled. If the boss can’t legally appear yet,
reroll. When the boss is dead, you win!
