Soak Roll

  • A character can spend a benny to automatically eliminate a Shaken condition.
  • If the benny is spent immediately after taking one or more wounds from a single attack, he may make a Vigor roll as well. A success and each raise on the roll reduces the number of wounds suffered from that attack by 1. If the character is left with any wounds from the attack however, he’s still Shaken as usual. Don’t count the wound modifiers he’s about to suffer when making this roll.
  • A character may only make one soak roll per attack. If a soak roll eliminates 2 of 3 wounds, for instance, a hero can’t make another soak roll to eliminate the third wound. (The hero could spend a second benny to reroll the Vigor roll as usual, however.)
  • If a character suffers multiple hits on the same action card, he needs to spend bennies and make soak rolls after each result.
