'as long as my will holds out I will never surrender to you lord Bastille!!'

The character can absorb wounds and injury much more stoically through force of will and personality. By reducing his MA or ME by 1, he may ignore up to 10 SDC points of damage. MA may not drop below 10 in this manner, and ME not below 3. The wounds remain, of course, he is just hanging on by sheer superhuman willpower.

Points to remember:

• He is still bleeding and needs those wounds attended to.
• Sundry effects such as broken bones and poison still affect him (though penalties are not incurred while he is expending will...allowing the character to sprint on two broken legs if need be. He will feel that in the morning)
• Lastly, as his will returns, at a rate of one lost attribute point per hour, he he must trade back 5 points of damage. [Lunar lass expended 6 ME points in the battle with the Antigen league. An hour later, while in having coffee, she gains back one ME point, but this drops her remaining 12 HP down to 7. In two more hours her force of will will not be sufficient and she will slide into negatives.]

All is not lost though, If a doctor or paramedic is available and on hand, the character can make a save vs coma to reduce the damage down to 1 point.
