Awe Question

[fungalreason]

Yeah you're missing a few things. The check is not against just the awe bonus, but 10 plus the bonus from awe. (Page 56) So basically you take the average morale of 10, compare it against 18. You can go into probablilites for the rolls if you want to, but there's a chart that has it all worked out for you in the manual (Page 5). Just take the difference... -8 for a unit to attack your virtue in this example. You'll see it should only be around a 6% chance or so something will hit it.

Another that's been mentioned here somewhere is that fear works well in combination with awe. Fear essentially lowers morale of units in a certain radius and for a certain amount (based on the fear bonus). That makes it even harder for the units to pass that morale check. This makes even Awe +0 a very good ability for keeping units from attacking.
