Quick Note – Should Life Affect Rolls?
There is a concept in Swords and Wizardry known as morale in which any creature with a brain will retreat from a battle when they become to scared or do not see the odds in their favor. I typically do this VIA a saving throw +HD. For the most part this works well, however, we […]
