Ability Type: Focus Ability
Related Skill: Melee Combat or Athletics
Prerequisites: Adrenal Focus, and Melee Combat 6 or Athletics 6

Having learned to truly trust your instincts you can now focus even more intently on your physical coordination, moving with greater speed, confidence and power for a few seconds at the cost of tiring yourself badly. The adrenaline coursing through your system also lets you shrug off injury and pain more easily, making you temporarily harder to hurt. Intense Adrenal Focus allows you to spend 2 Willpower in order to gain a +3 bonus to your Dexterity, 2 points of Shock Resistance and a +10% bonus to your Physique (round up), although it also applies a -2 penalty to your Intelligence and Empathy. You may activate Intense Adrenal Focus at any time, with the effect lasting until the end of your next turn.
