   +2 Medical Attention (2010+) |


Fear Table
d20   Effect
1-4   Adrenaline Surge: The hero’s “fight” response takes over. He adds +2 to all
      trait and damage rolls on his next action.

5-8   Shaken: The character is Shaken.

9-12  Panicked: The character is Panicked.

13-16 Minor Phobia: The character gains a minor phobia.

17-18 Major Phobia: The character gains a major phobia.

19-20 The Mark of Fear: The hero is Shaken and also suffers some cosmetic
      physical alteration —a white streak forms in the hero’s hair, his eyes
      twitch constantly, or some other minor physical alteration. This reduces
      his Charisma by 1.

21+  Heart Attack: The hero is so overwhelmed with fear that his heart stutters.
     He must make a Vigor roll at -2. If successful, he’s Shaken and can't
     attempt to recover for 1d4 rounds before he can attempt to recover. If he
     fails, he dies in 2d6 rounds. A Healing roll at - 4 saves the victim’s life,
     but he remains Incapacitated for 2d6 hours thereafter. (A greater healing
     draught will heal them and revive them in 4+1d4 rounds.)


Reaction Table
 2d6  Initial Reaction
  2   Hostile: The NPC is openly hostile and does his best to stand in the
      hero’s way. He won’t help without an overwhelming reward or payment of
      some kind.

 3-4  Unfriendly: The NPC isn’t willing to help unless there’s a significant
      advantage to himself.

 5-9  Neutral: The NPC has no particular attitude, and will help for little
      reward if the task at hand is very easy. If the task is difficult, he’ll
      require substantial payment of some kind.

10-11 Friendly: The NPC will go out of his way for the hero. He’ll likely do
      easy tasks for free (or very little), and is willing to do more dangerous
      tasks for fair pay or other favors.

  12  Helpful: The NPC is anxious to help the hero, and will probably do so for
      little or no pay depending on the nature of the task.
