This does reproduce the effect from the 2nd ed rule fairly well using the mechanics of the BRCS playtest. Every unit gains the effect as if the scion was in the unit. The way morale bonuses work in 3.5 it translates to the attack and defense bonus so it is actually performing what was intended by the 2nd ed description. Even though the phrasing may seem to be otherwise, the way that 3.5 mechanics work it translates fairly well. And since it slides with ranks in Lead it allows for scaling with scion's level.
So are you saying then that Morale will be dropped as a seperate stat for units in the revision? Currently, the bonus was only to the unit's morale rating. Now if this is a Morale bonus to attack and defense, this is an entirely different mechanic than the BRCS used. It's confusing as to what Morale is referring to.
I am not saying anything specific on any revision to Ch 6, only that 'anything' is possible. Currently there is no working copy of any revisions to that Chap so it is open game for the masses to discuss and change.

I personally like the morale bonus/stat but I have had to revise things based on what the majority wants in the past so. . . .
