Likelihood the monster stands firm in the face of adversity rather than flee. This base rating can be modified depending on particular circumstances. For additional morale rules, see Appendix A.

2-4 | Unreliable |
5-7 | Unsteady |
8-10 | Average |
11-12 | Steady |
13-14 | Veteran |
15-16 | Champion |
17-18 | Fanatic |
19-20 | Fearless |
To make a moral-check, role 2d10. If the number is lower than the monster's rating, it stands firm, if the number is higher, it flees.

Size
Size categories are abbreviated thus:
Abr. | Size Category |
---|---|
T | Tiny (2 ft. or under) |
S | Small (2.5-4 ft.) |
M | Medium (4.5-7 ft.) |
L | Large (7.5-12 ft.) |
H | Huge (12.5-25 ft.) |
G | Gargantuan (25 ft. or over) |
Most creatures are measured in length, height. However, certain creatures of peculiar dimensions are assigned a size-category which does not adhere strictly to the above qualifications. For instance; a 12 ft. snake is far longer than it is tall or heavy, so despite being within the parametres of the large size-category, it is classed under the medium size-category, as the mechanical consquences thereof more accurately reflect the spacial reality of said creature.
