When Troopers survive a successful Attack, it means their body armor took the brunt of the impact, keeping them from serious injury. This triggers a primal fear of death, and survival instincts kick in. The Troopers' survival instincts can force them to recoil from danger and dive for cover.

GUTS ROLL
REQUIREMENTS
  • The Trooper is not in an Engaged, Null or IMM State.
  • The Trooper had suffered one or more successful Attacks that cause the Trooper to enter any States or to perform any Saving Rolls.
  • The Guts Roll is performed even if all the attackers are in a Null State at the end of the Order.
EFFECTS
  • A Guts Roll consists in a single Normal WIP Roll, always performed at the very end of the Order, after performing any Saving Rolls.
  • If the Guts Roll is successful, the Trooper must stand its ground and must do nothing else.
  • If a Trooper would have to make a Guts Roll, its owner can instead choose to fail it automatically.
  • If the WIP Roll is failed, it is compulsory to perform the first of these options that the Trooper can complete:
    • The Trooper must move up to 2 inches to completely leave:
      • The LoF of the Enemy or Enemies (for example, in the case of a Coordinated Order, or multiple AROs) that have performed Attacks against the Trooper.
      • The danger zone or Area of Effect of Attacks that did not require LoF.
    • If this is not possible, the Trooper must move up to 2 inches to gain Total or Partial Cover from all attackers.
    • If the two previous options are not possible, the Trooper must go Prone, facing in any direction its player chooses
  • Check the enemy LoF or Area of Effect from the Trooper's final position at the end of the Order, when the Guts Roll is made.
  • When checking the enemy's LoF or Area of Effect, if the Trooper is already outside them and the Guts Roll is failed, the Trooper enters Prone State, facing in a direction of the player's choice.
  • This movement of a failed Guts Roll:


IMPORTANT

Attacks that have no PS value and do not cause any State do not require a Guts Roll.


REMEMBER

Troopers in Engaged State do not make Guts Rolls.
