I want to make a request in their Zendesk service about adding Fear as a skill. This way Leadership atributte in TT will be meaninfull, and Elites like Chaplain or Captains area will have more impact on the meta game. Would you like that kind of crowd control? Vote here!
In the weapon mod request thread I requested Night Lord themed boltor ammo for chaos that slows enemies shot from behind, I guess you can class that as fear since they are cowardly running away. You should never remove control from your character, so it should be conditioned debuff imo, I mean for my ammo example if you shoot their back either you used your brain and flanked or the dude its trying to run away (probably in fear of death)
We already have "fear" if a heavy bolter shoots you half dead, you run mister. Player fear occurs naturally we don't need artificially created "fear".
By this logic supermario has fear too.. I understand you dont want to loose your control over your character, and i understand how deadly an stun is nowadays, but i think Leadership is a fundamental part of the TT that shouldnt be ignored, and if we look at the main heroes, we have a medic, a moral booster (aka chaplain) and a mechanic in most of their armies.
Marines aren´t inmune, they reagroup automatic in his turn, but they hyde and run as everyone. They have to check their L attribute when they loose melee, duels, % deads etc To be inmune you must have Courage or alike rules, usually applied by Heroes/Elites to the squad they are in. SM rule clarification - And they shall know no fear
That's not fear, that's suppression and is related to the marines realizing they're fighting a losing battle and regrouping. And They Shall Know No Fear makes marines -immune- to fear effects.
Sry but i think this is a very common mistake that have happened to me too. They shall no Fear rules doesnt save you for Leadership check rolls. In fact, it is applied in the next turn, after your squad have lost their L roll and hide. It is about auto agroup. Others armies have to check again their Leadership to do it, but LSM do it automatic.
