@shihong,<br/><br/>first you roll a simple willpower test, modified by -30. If you pass, yay! if you fail, count up how many degrees of failure you got.<br/>since this was a combat, you take +10 for each degree of failure. dont add it to your willpower roll, it's for a completely seperate number.<br/><br/>then you a d100 on the shock table. and add that number from your degrees of failure. compare that modified number to what is rolled on the shock chart and do what the shock chart says.<br/><br/>********<br/>example.  Baromir has a WP of 20. Modified for that hellacious fear, he has to roll -10 on a d100.<br/>He rolls a 33 / -10 for 4degrees of failure. That is a +40 on the shock table.<br/>On the shock table, he rolls a d100 for 38. then he adds the +40 he got as a modifer. for a total of 78.<br/><br/>Refering to the shock table, he is affected by the 61-80 bracket.<br/>Baromir is frozen in terror, and can take no action till he snaps out of it. Even after he snaps out of it, he takes -10 on all Tests until the end of the encounter, then he gains 1d5 insanity.<br/><br/>********<br/><br/>now since your jaded, you get some special GM resistances to fear, basically how you react to said fear, even if you still take some mechanical effects. Im not sure how TGT is ruling it, it's his call.
