====== Morale ====== All living creatures have morale, their will to fight. The GM calls when to make a morale check. Morale checks always have a DC 11. Success means they stand and fight. Failure means they surrender or flee. PCs rarely have to check morale. ===== Morale Checks ===== Like any check, roll a D20 against one of the following: * For PCs and NPCs, roll a WIS check adding proficiency bonus if it is appropriate * For Monsters, roll against their morale score These checks should have advantages or disadvantage based on the circumstances as outlined in the [[combat|combat rules]]. ===== When To Check Morale ===== The GM can call for one or more morale checks; generally when: • the battle begins • after the first combatant is killed • when the leader or expert is killed • when the tide of the battle is obvious. ===== Side, Group, or Individual ===== PCs and their retainers always roll morale individually. The GM decides if monsters roll as a side, a group based on type, or individually. ----- ====== Design Notes ====== //copied from 5TD// **I have some morale rules in the Combat Chapter, basically follow this outline with some more detail, and some modification/clarification on when to check.**
