Those who attack a being as pure as Terry find themselves regretting their decision, changing their mind mid-attack, and forever abhorring violence.

If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically and their Outcome is 0.

If their Trauma is treated, they will be able to see the reality of the situation.
