Overview Empathy Empathic Resistance Protest Silent Speech

Empathic Resistance

People with this ability can continuously block out empathic intrusions. Powers of empathy, charm, or sleep automatically have a chance of being outright resisted. Empathic resistance is equal to 15% per intensity, and can be lowered only by conscious choice. Changelings cannot have this ability; should die rolls indicate this power, another roll must be made for the power selection.
It should be noted that empathic scans or supernatural detections also have a possibility of failing against one who has empathic resistance. While this power is in effect all the time, it can be boosted for short periods of time by 25% for a period of 1d6 rounds per intensity (i.e. 15%+25%=40% at intensity 1). Using this ability counts as an activation and does use Body-Mind-Spirit.
