Morale

Morale is how combatants feel under stress during combat. Morale is tested for monsters and other NPCs (and never for your character) in critical points of combat:

1. When the first combatant dies from a side.

2. When a side loses its numbers advantage.

3. When facing a legendary monster.

4. When the party leader dies.

To test morale, roll a d6 and add the creature’s WILL.

Creature	Succes Requirement
Humanoid	5 and above
Monster	4 and above
Legendary Monster	3 and above

If a combatant fails a morale test, it routs. A surrounded unit which fails a morale test are considered to surrender --except for legendary monsters. If the combatant who failed a morale test has a party leader, the leader may rally them back into the fight during the rally phase with a successful CHA check, negating th effects of the morale test.

Once a morale test is successful, no further tests are necessary for the ongoing combat.
