( )

Carver has been through a lot. Their mind has learned how to roll with the punches.

Carver's mind has been forced to adapt to the incredible amounts of stress that Carver operates under. It is well practiced at self regulation, and at this point is able to shrug off most unwelcome alien influences.

Carver's mind is their own, and no one will take that from them.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You get +2 dice to any Mind resistance rolls you make. You also gain the following effects:

  • Naturally Resistant: Any time you make a Mind resistance roll, the individual who you are resisting must Exert their Mind, or your resistance succeeds automatically.

  • These bonuses apply only to Mind rolls made to resist Effects and other supernatural phenomena. They do not apply to Trauma rolls or self-control rolls.
