How do advantage action work against multiple opponents. Do you get a bonus just against 1 opponent or all.
You could increase the difficulties. What are your thoughts?

[Chriz]

As far as I know these bonuses are personal. You get the offensive / defensive bonus since you are in a good position, this would mean you have it against all opponents.
I agree that if you try a tricky maneuvre when you are fighting against multiple opponents that it is reasonable to expect a higher difficulty. I think this depends on the situation and should be ruled by the storytellers as they see fit, there is no hard rule for this.

'Advantage Actions' are not 'Terrain Actions'... So it's not about the position, it is about using the advantage you have gained from being in a good position. You keep this advantage even after leaving your high ground (or whatever gave you the advantage in the first place).

On the exact details, I would like to hear Mercury's opinion.

"BY YOUR SUMMONS, I WILL SLAY MYSELF, LETTING MY TAINTED SPIRIT DRIFT TOWARDS ITS FINAL DESTINATION. THERE, I WILL TOPPLE THE MASTER OF THAT DARK PLACE AND TAKE A SEAT UPON ITS BLACK THRONE, FROM WHERE I WILL LASH TOGETHER A MACHINE OF BONE AND BLOOD! FUELLED BY MY HATRED FOR YOU, THIS ENGINE OF FEAR WILL BORE A HOLE BETWEEN THIS WORLD AND THAT ONE.

WHEN IT BEGINS, YOU WILL HEAR THE SOUND OF CHILDREN SCREAMING, AS THOUGH FROM A GREAT DISTANCE. A SMOKING ORB OF NOTHING WILL GROW ABOVE YOUR BED, AND FROM IT WILL EMERGE A THOUSAND STARVING CROWS. AS I SLIP THROUGH THE EVER WIDENING MAW IN MY NEW FORM, YOU WILL CATCH ONLY A GLIMPSE OF MY DARK RADIANCE BEFORE YOU ARE INCINERATED. THEN AS TEARS OF BUBBLING PITCH STREAM DOWN MY FACE ONTO YOUR MELTED FORM, MY DARK WORK WILL BEGIN, AND I WILL OPEN ONE OF MY SIX MOUTHS AND SING THE SONG THAT ENDS THE EARTH!

ON A COMPLETELY UNRELATED NOTE, I BELIEVE AN ADVANTAGE ACTION MAY COUNT AGAINST EITHER A SINGULAR OPPONENT OR MULTIPLE ONES DEPENDING UPON HOW THE ACTION IS APPLICABLE TO THE SITUATION. YOU CANNOT FLANK TWO PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME, BUT YOU CAN HAVE HIGHER GROUND THAN BOTH. NATURALLY ANY ACTION TAKEN AGAINST MULTIPLE OPPONENTS WOULD BE MORE DIFFICULT AND REQUIRE A HIGHER CHECK."
