A character may spend a Benny to make a “Soak” roll, which is a 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 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 Benny to reroll the Vigor roll as usual, however.)

Shaken: A character can also spend a Benny to immediately eliminate a Shaken condition (and act if it's his action). This can be done at any time–even just after a failed Spirit roll to recover.
