====== Soak Rolls ======

A character may spend a [[rules:bennies|Benny]] to make a "Soak" roll, which is a [[attributes:vigor|Vigor]] check. A success and each raise reduces the number of wounds suffered from that attack by one.

If the character Soaks all of the wounds from an attack, he removes his [[rules:shaken|Shaken]] condition too (even from a previous source). Don't count the wound modifiers he's about to suffer when making this roll.

**Timing**: A character may only make one Soak roll per attack. If a Soak roll eliminates 2 of 3 wounds, for instance, a hero can't make another Soak roll to eliminate the third wound. (The hero could spend a second [[rules:bennies|Benny]] to reroll the [[attributes:vigor|Vigor]] roll as usual, however.)

**Shaken**: A character can also spend a [[rules:bennies|Benny]] to immediately eliminate a [[rules:shaken|Shaken]] condition (and act if it's his action). This can be done at any time--even just after a failed [[attributes:spirit|Spirit]] roll to recover.
