A rush of adrenaline can sometimes be as confusing as it is helpful, making your actions vague and jerky as you hit the edge of panic. With experience though, and a little extra concentration, you can make it work for you – focussing intently on your surrounding and seeming to slow down time. Adrenal Focus allows you to [[Burning Willpower|spend]] 1 [[Stats|Willpower]] in order to gain a +2 bonus to your [[Stats|Dexterity]] and 1 point of [[Shock Resistance]] for a turn; although it also applies a -1 penalty to your [[Stats|Intelligence]] and [[Stats|Empathy]] as you shut out all distractions and your instincts take over. You may activate Adrenal Focus at any time, with the bonus and penalties lasting until the start of your next turn (if activated in your own turn) or until the end of your next turn (if activated between turns).
