Whips
in the rules for Whips B 406 it states that any damage from a whip is painful and a hit to the arm or hand forces a will roll minus shock penalty or drop what you are holding.
Does someone with High Pain Threshold ignore this or do they just always get an unpenalized Will roll?

Re: Whips
Since those with High Pain Threshold never suffer a shock penalty, I would say unpenalized will roll.

Re: Whips
Seconded. Only those with Immunity To Pain should have no roll whatsoever.

Re: Whips
But the Will roll against whips is exactly this roll to ignore pain. It's just modified uses shock mechanics for modifiers instead of flat (+3) modifiers.

Re: Whips
Give VHPT a relative bonus to the roll (which would result in something like Will+4). I really, really don't like the idea of Rolling Will+3 in order to avoid a Roll at Will+0.
