Fright Checks

[Shostak]

My memory suggests that this owes a great deal to something I read somewhere, though I can't now recall who to credit.

Fright Checks
When rolling for Fright Check, all figures have a basic target of 16 on 3d. Modifiers are added or subtracted from 16 to reflect the severity of the fright. If failing, the figure rolls on the Fright Table. It is expected that repeated exposure to a potential fright will progressively inure a figure to that source of terror.
