[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 9295706, member: 6616"] Each monster has a table of attacks. The GM rolls a die (often d6) to determine which attack the monster uses. The attacks are "automatical hits", so the GM just applies the effect (which may include saves to avoid damage). Also, monsters have varying numbers of turns, from 1 to 3 per round (I believe 3 is the highest so far). E.g. a dragon has "Ferocity: 3" which means it can act 3 times in a round, each time doing one attack and move once. The GM rolls on the table below if an attack is made.
