Soak Rolls

After rolling damage but before applying wounds, a character may spend a Benny to make a “Soak” roll. This is a Vigor check, with each success and raise reducing 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 - that hasn’t happened yet. Characters can’t Soak more than once per attack, but may spend Bennies as usual to reroll the Vigor check if they aren’t satisfied with the results.
Shaken: A character can also spend a Benny to immediately eliminate a Shaken condition. This can be done at any time.
