Traits affecting morale rolls in combat

Rasputin · 12-15-2017, 06:15 AM

What character traits (disadvantages, mostly) should affect morale checks in combat, and how much?

I’ll start the ball with Cowardice improving reaction rolls (or Will rolls, if you prefer; the difference isn’t much), since that’s pretty much the definition of Cowardice, while Overconfidence and Stubbornness should lower this roll. Amount of Cowardice and Overconfidence are the numbers keyed to the Fright Check penalty for Cowardice based on self-control level, sign reversed for Cowardice; a straight -2 for Stubbornness, or the self-control roll penalty again if you’re using the version in the DFRPG.

Any others? Am I missing something?
