+**The Roll**:  The check is rolled with 1d20+Wisdom modifier and Proficiency (for PC's) or with 1d20 plus Morale number (NPC's and monsters).  Some monsters never check morale (such as many undead, all constructs).
-__The Effect__:  if the total of the roll is 11+, the check is passed and the characters/monsters suffer no effect from the roll.   If the total of the roll is 10-, the check is failed.  Those who fail gain the "Routed" condition, i.e., the must find the nearest, safest way to flee.  If they cannot escape, they gain the 'Frightened" and will fight back with disadvantage, if the enemy they are fighting is known for showing mercy and taking live prisoners, the Frightened opponents will surrender.  Routed characters/monsters may recheck morale every exploration turn once they have escaped the vicinity of their defeat to attempt to return to normal, but DM may rule them to be Demoralized if the defeat was especially severe.

-__Rally__:  a character or monster that has not failed a Morale Check, may attempt to return Routed or Frightened allies to normal.  He must use an active action, and rolls a Charisma Check.  If he scores 11 or better, the routing or frightened allies may re-roll their morale check (at disadvantage if they are Frightened).  If the one attempting to rally other is not normally their leader, his CHA check is at disadvantage.
