| - | Each participant in mass combat will have a Quality and Scale rating. Their **Quality** is represented on the [[fate:Fate Ladder]], while their [[fate:Scale]] represents power.

While doing so any of their stunts and aspects that would apply to the [[#unit]] they are attached to can be used.

A PC is far too important to be killed during Mass Combat. |
