Bound Monster Test Chart

Only unridden monsters need to take a Bound Monsters test. Test at the start of the turn for each bound monster. Roll 2D6 against the monster's Leadership value as you would for a psychology test. Always use the monster's own Leadership; it cannot benefit from the Leadership of a character or the general. If the score is more than the monster's Leadership roll a D6 to discover what it does that turn. 

Bound Monster Test

The Old World is a vast and untamed placed where wild and monstrous creatures roam the dark forests and tall mountains. There are many creatures that are roughly human in appearance, though a little larger than a man, like Orcs, Trolls, and Minotaurs, but there are also bigger and more bizarre monsters in abundance: Griffons, Dragons, Manticores, and many more besides. It is with these large monsters that this section of the rules is concerned. Large monsters may be ridden to battle by mighty heroes and wizards. Many of these beasts must be hand reared by their master if they are ever to accept a rider, so the great leaders of the Old World pay vast sums to adventurers who collect eggs or hatchlings from the nests of Griffons and other winged monsters. This is a dangerous profession, and for many a fatal one, but it ensures that the Emperor's Zoo in Altdorf gains fresh creatures to rear on behalf of the nobles and wizard lords of the Empire. Large monsters are independent and powerful elements of the army. Some monsters develop loyalty and devotion to their masters and will fight for them willingly, while others are placed under enchantments or simply driven forward towards the enemy in the hope that they will attack the right side.

Monsters

D6	Result
1	Deserts If it has wings the monster flies off from the battlefield and does not return. If it does not have wings it will move at double-pace towards and off the table edge, taking the swiftest route. The monster will leave hand-to-hand fighting if it is already engaged, and will not attack or attempt to charge fresh enemy.
2-5	Struggles The monster struggles against its enchantment or training and will neither move nor attack this turn. It will not use any breath or special weapons either.
6	Fight On If engaged in hand-to-hand fighting the monster will fight with half its normal number of attacks rounding down. Otherwise it will neither move nor fight as described for 'Struggles'.
