Willpower

A character’s Willpower score is the mental equivalent of Defense. It is used to resist intimidation, taunts and terror. Willpower is calculated using the formula below.

Willpower \= Median of Int, Chr & Det

Willpower Tests

At the beginning of the round, use the same die or card from your Defense test to determine your Willpower Total. This is the Target Number to hit you with a mental attack this round.

Boosting Willpower

If you are aware of an attack, you may use the Resist reaction to boost your Willpower against it (see page XXX).

Defense and Willpower Outside of Combat

If a character is attacked outside of combat, simply make a Defense or Willpower test on the spot and resolve as normal. Defensive reactions may only be used if the character is aware of the attack.
