Resolve Checks

Sam opens the door and sees a headless abomination shambling towards him. The GM calls for a Resolve Check from their player. The player picks up precentile dice and hopes for a low number. He only has 35 resolve points left. He throws the dice: 55%. "Noooooo!" bemoans Sam. He has rolled too high. The GM picks up a d8 and rolls to see how much resolve damage the player takes: 6. Sam rolls on the reaction table and gets flee. He turns around and runs as fast as he can from the headless thing in the doorway. It could have been worse, he could have frozen. 

Horror games are a lot of fun, but some still use outdated terminology like insanity and/or have real life mental conditions that people deal with on a day-to-day basis. In order to make horror TTRPGs more inclusive, the Resolve Check PDF replaces these older fear check systems with rules that everyone can feel comfortable with. It's based on four fundamental human resposes to fear: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. This system can replace any horror system chapter that deals with fear.
