So, it occurs to me that a lot of units are costed with the fact that they have fear/ daemon in mind, but the supposed effectiveness of those units is offset by the amount of fear- ignoring effects. I also was going through some other rules and it occurred to me that I may have made or rolled a pinning test like four times in all of 6th and 7th edition combined.

So, what I would propose is that ATSKNF still provides protection from being swept and still allows auto- rallies, but does nothing against fear and pinning test. Thoughts?

What if ATSKNF roll 3d6 for fear & regroup tests but they can be swept however still auto regroup. And to further show they are tough they roll 2 dice instead of 1 for the sweeping roll.

roll with +2 to leadership but 12 always fails.
Failure is possible, but highly unlikely.
