In the section on curing melancholy in KAP5, it states: "If the melancholic character's roll wins the resolution, he attacks, but if he loses he calms down, and, a short time later, goes to sleep."
However, in the example that immediately follows, the melancholic character wins, and calms down. ("he player makes a Merciful roll opposed to Ambrut's Cruel result of 5, and wins the roll. Yvane's natural capacity for mercy wins out and he spares Ambrut")
It seems to me that either the rule or the example is incorrect. If we go by the rule, when Yvane succeeded at his Merciful roll he would have attacked - which seems kind of backwards. So I assume the rule is incorrect. Should it perhaps read something like this:
If the melancholic character loses the resolution, he attacks, but if he wins he calms down...
