Well how I play it is taht teh TN to defend against multiple oppoennts is
increased, but not when attacking as you concentrate on one person. The
multiple opponents do not receive the - TN mods (just my little rule).
But a wtacher could still hinder teh bug even if it ignored it. the
watcher grabs onto teh bugs astral form and 'slows' teh punch etc.
Basically they can just get in the way :)
