POWERS
Body Control
: Maintenance :
You have great mental control over your body. You can make a Body Control check for a number of different tasks summarized on the following table.
| Task | Difficulty |
|---|---|
| Sleep normally despite distractions | 5 |
| Sleep normally despite difficult distractions | 10 |
| Slow breathing to half normal rate | 10 |
| Ignore pain or injury | 15 |
| Body awareness | 15 |
| Resist fear | 15 |
| Speed recovery | 15 |
| Slow breathing to one-quarter normal rate | 15 |
| Willpower | 15 |
| Feign death | 20 |
| Overcome disease | Disease's Save Difficulty |
| Overcome poison | Poison's Save Difficulty |
Sleeping: A successful Body Control check allows you to sleep in difficult conditions, including bad weather, noise, buzzing insects, and so forth.
Slow Breathing: You can deliberately slow your rate of breathing so that you consume less air, vital in situations where there is a limited amount of breathable air available.
Ignore Pain or Injury: You can ignore the effects of pain or injury while awake or asleep. If you choose, nothing can wake you, as long as you make a successful Body Control check.
Body Awareness: You can become very aware of your body while asleep or concentrating. This allows you to sense if you are touched or moved in any way while using Scrying, for example. If you are damaged, subtract the attack's damage bonus from the Difficulty of the Body Control check.
Resist Fear: You can override your body's natural response to fear. With a successful Body Control check, you gain a new saving throw against any fear effect, with a +4 bonus.
Speed Recovery: You can speed your natural healing process, gaining a recovery check in half the normal time, so long as you spend that time in a deep, healing trance.
Willpower: With a Difficulty 15 Body Control check, you can continue to act while disabled without your condition worsening to dying. You still suffer additional damage normally. You can still spend multiple Conviction points in a round while disabled.
Feign Death: By exerting supreme control over your body, you can enter a deep trance almost indistinguishable from death. A Notice check with a Difficulty equal to your Body Control check is required to determine whether you are still alive. Effects that detect life still work on you. While in this state, you also suspend the effects of any disease or poison in your system for as long as you remain in the trance.
Overcome Disease or Poison: By concentrating for a full round, you can substitute your Body Control check for your Fortitude saving throw against a disease or poison in your system. This usually means you can only use Body Control against the secondary effects of a disease or poison, unless it is slow acting and you are warned soon enough to use Body Control to resist the initial effects (in the Narrator's judgment).
Action: Full-Round
