Morale Problems

[Saint_Dude]

For the most part individual units do not make morale checks (with the exception of solo thugs/SCs). Squads do.

Squad morale is calculated as an average of the individual morales for all the units that make up the squad. If a single unit in a squad has a -47 morale, that unit will have a much more significant impact on the average squad morale compared to a unit with a -1 morale.

However, in this situation, the entire squad may have a -1 morale. Everyone needs a clean pair of shorts.

If the Squad takes any significant damage or is subjected to a fear causing spell (dark skies?), they will have to make a morale check.

Morale roll: squad morale + DRN + survivor bonus (0-5)
vs fear roll: 13 + DRN

If the fear roll is > than the morale roll, the whole squad runs for the exits.

With a squad morale of -1 and a survivor bonus of 5, the squad would have a 94% or failing the morale check.

Time to start pointing fingers. "Who the hell is responsible for sending us on this suicide mission anyway?"
