If a unit of Skeletons with a character in it loses a round of combat, does the character have to take a break test, or do extra Skeletons just die?URL Copied!
Because a unit is immune to break tests/psychology does not mean that characters in the unit are immune to break tests/psychology.
Therefore, if a wight, wraith, mummy tomb king, liche, vampire, or a necromancer is in a unit of skeletons and it loses a round of hand-to-hand combat, two things happen:
Extra skeletons in the unit die. If more than 1 skeleton unit is involved in the hand-to-hand combat, each unit loses an additional number of skeletons equal to the combat resolution.
Characters in the unit not immune to break tests, take break tests with the appropriate combat resolution modifier. If the character fails its break test, it is destroyed, flees, etc.
