Sometimes there's nothing for it but to have a good, old-fashioned panic. Panic is the basic manifestation of your fight-or-flight response and in return for [[Burning Willpower|spending]] 2 [[Stats|Willpower]] it provides you with +1 [[Stats|Dexterity]], 1 point of [[Shock Resistance]], +10% Movement (round up) and +2 [[Awareness]]. Unfortunately panicked people don't tend to be especially sound of judgement, and it also applies a -2 penalty to your [[Stats|Empathy]] and [[Stats|Intelligence]] (thus effectively cancelling out the Awareness bonus). You may Panic at any time, with the effect lasting until the end of your next turn.

In addition to activating Panic deliberately, the GM may also require characters to make [[Resistance]] [[Skill Checks]] not to Panic involuntarily if they are startled or things start to go badly wrong. Characters with other Focus Abilities, such as [[Adrenal Focus]] or [[Burst of Speed]] may choose to activate these instead if they fail such a check.
