Party Morale

Morale is integral to the long term ability of a party to function and survive together. Without good party morale, some situations may seem hopeless.

Rules of Morale

• Morale is moves towards 0 by 4 every day after the Active Travel Phase and before the Camp Phase.

• Morale works on a scale from -10 to +10, with -10 being the lowest possible party morale, and +10 being the highest possible party morale.

• Once a morale threshold has been reached, the bonus is unlocked for everyone in the party.

• If morale drops below the threshold for the bonus, the bonus is gone for everyone regardless of whether or not it was utilized.
