You may spend focus after you roll any check and that check automatically increases one success level: a success becomes a triumph, a fumble becomes a failure, and so on. You can only spend one focus on each check. You may also spend focus to block the invocation of a fault in place of gaining focus for it. Any time you gain focus during a session you may recover lost wits instead. At the end of a session if you have focus left over, each one allows you to add a fact or event to the game world. The referee may veto or alter these additions if necessary. A long uneventful period within a game session may cost you focus, or wits if you have no focus to lose.

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.
