Just one question, what would the consequences of weak awe be?

Well, awe+1 means that a unit with Morale of 10 (or 11? I forget) has a 50% chance of overcoming an awe check, while an awe of +10 means that you need a morale of 20 to do the same. Although it would be nice to know how this is scaled for Morales greater or lesser than this median (I mean: If you have a Morale of 13, do you have a 70% chance of hitting an Awe+1 creature, or a 55%, or a 95%?), I do not.

So I would have hoped that an Awe -2 would mean that a creature with a Morale of 9 has a 50% chance of striking successfully.

Ahhh! Wouldn't a better ability apply like 'Hatred'? Maybe not...

Sorry, in the version 1.1 which I had posted above there is a mistake: I had used the #itemslots suggestion, unknowing that #mounted does not override the foot slot.

This version 1.11 attached here is identical to the one posted in 1.1 above, but removes the falsely added foot slot from Holy Chieftan. (Now the Holy Chieftan has no body slot and, as it should be, also no foot slot.)

Sorry.
And sorry, Liga -- could you switch again?

IIRC awe works like most other opposing checks in Dom2:
X + 2d6(oe) vs Y + 2d6(oe), where X and Y are a mix of stats and various boni/penalties etc.

In your example (awe+1 vs moral 13):
X = 11 and Y = 13

Look in this thread. Look-up "-2" in Endoperez' chart. The chance of overcomming the awe is ~70%.
