*'''Grit.''' You have grit equal to your intensity score. Grit damage removes bubbles until you have none left. Having the highest grit in a [[dispute]] can mark you as a speaker. When you suffer grit damage that isn't absorbed by your grit bubbles you must make an intensity check. If the check fails you suffer a grit marker (usually a white token). Your success margin on the check must equal or beat the amount of grit damage you suffered. Note that suffering exactly 0 grit damage (such as losing your last bubble, or an attack that is exactly blocked by grit armor) still requires a check. Every 10 grit damage from one attack automatically causes a grit marker, and any remaining forces another check normally. Your first grit marker gives you a penalty (-2) on all checks, and is referred to as being '''shaken'''. Your second grit marker forces you out, and you may no longer act. This is referred to as being '''unconscious'''. You recover a grit marker after each full exchange, and recover a grit bubble if you use an action to do so.

Discipline reflects not only your own steady nerves, but also your ability to project assurance and command others. It is a function of your confidence, determination, and presence of mind. Discipline measures your concentration during complex tasks, including the operation of vehicles.

Discipline Checks

  • Helm: During an Exchange you control the movement a vehicle from its Pilot position. Simply adjusting a vehicle’s Speed and facing doesn’t require a Check unless you don’t have the necessary Masteries. Rolls to avoid a Collision, Ram an enemy, or recover from a Tumble always require a Check.
  • Intimidate: You can stare down an opponent as a Manipulation. During an Exchange it requires an Action, and Routs the target if successful. Outside of an Exchange a Bad roll causes the target to become Hostile.
  • Rally: Use an Action to remove Stumped or Routed from an ally within your Command distance. Rallying counts as a Manipulation, which means an enemy could Retort you. You may attempt to Rally yourself, as long as you have an Action to try.
  • Reload: Empty weapons require an Action and successful Check before they can fire again. Either the Artillery or Firearms Masteries usually apply, depending on the weapon. On a Bad roll the weapon remains Empty.

Discipline Saves

  • Avoid: If you are in the Pilot Position on a vehicle you may roll a Save to avoid Collisions. If you win the Opposition you the vehicles don’t hit one another.
  • Crash: When a vehicle Crashes roll a Save to help the crew survive. On a success the crew are only Down. On a Bad roll everyone aboard suffers an Injury.
  • Fear: Being surprised or overwhelmed may require a Save. Some situations or opponents may be so terrifying they apply a Penalty. A Good roll avoids any effects. On Bad roll you Rout.
  • Morale: After each Exchange a Routing or hurt character must Save. On a Bad roll you Rout, or surrender if you’re already Routing. On a Good roll you stop Routing if you were. Units at less than half strength must Save as well.
  • Reject: When targeted by a Manipulation you may Save to simply ignore its effects.

Discipline Masteries

Many vehicles don’t require a Mastery for general operation. The Referee may impart a Penalty for unfamiliarity of a new vehicle, even if it doesn’t require a particular Mastery to operate it. Broad groups include Airplanes, Automobiles, Helicopters, Sailcraft, Spacecraft, and Walkers.
