Calming Trance

Cost: 3
Ability Type: Meditative Technique, Difficulty 14
Related Skill: Meditation
Prerequisites: Meditation 3, or Meditation 2 and Resistance 2

Helps you to overcome your fears, and bolster you against future threats. In order to be effective the trance must last for a minimum of one minute. If successful the trance eliminates any and all effects you are currently suffering as a result of fear or Intimidation and grants a +1 bonus to Resistance checks to overcome effects of that kind in the immediate future. For every minute you spend in the trance (up to one minute per level of your Meditation skill) the resulting bonus lingers for ten minutes. If you try to use this form of meditation but fail the skill check required you waste a minute trying and lose a temporary point of Willpower.
