My lot encountered Black Annis last night - to their chagrin (one NPK dead, two PKs dying unless they get lucky with their First Aid and Chirurgery rolls). But I am a little confused at what Annis is capable of in combat. The rules list Annis' combat skills as:

Claws 25 (x2)
Acid Spit 20

Can she do both of those attacks in the same round or does she need to choose between the two?

IIRC She can do them all.

She uses the claws, either both against a single atraget or against two different ones. And she also spits, which may be against the one of those targets or a third. She's nasty.

And even so, she's weaker than the 3rd/4th edition version...

It took my players 5 or 6 encounters over three generations before they finally killed her. (Actually, they did manage to kill her once earlier, but didn't realise she comes back if you're not careful.) In every Black Annis year, at least one PC died, and at least once (my memory's fuzzy), only one survived.

Crikey! I knew she was badass but didn't realise she was that bad.

I'll have to be careful with this one.

A little tactical note for annis: don't spit the acid at a person she is attacking with claws this round. Spit at her *next* target - so that when she does claw them, their armour will be reduced and her claws will hurt more.
Also, remember the scream - having horses panickign and the like means that fewer players will be able to engage her at a time.

I've had encounters where all the players facing her were struggling to control their horses in one round, lettinng her use claw attacks agaisnt two targets for unopposed attacks. Nasty.
