====== Guts ======

Where did the Guts skill go? We removed it. It's important to some settings (and you'll find it as a Setting Rule when it is), but rare in others. Where it's rare, however, even a mighty barbarian has to spend valuable skill points to prove his mettle with the [[skills:guts|Guts skill]], and that really doesn't make much sense.

In the core rules and most settings (especially fantasy and sci-fi) characters now use [[attributes:spirit|Spirit]] to resist the effects of [[rules:fear|Fear]]. If a character in a previously published setting has [[skills:guts|Guts]], ignore it. If you're using a published adventure that requires a [[skills:guts|Guts]] roll, use [[attributes:spirit|Spirit]] instead.

In a few settings (primarily horrific ones, like Deadlands), [[skills:guts|Guts]] is a Setting Rule that reflects the particular nature of the game world and remains intact.
