Torture Resistance (Espionage/Military) by Taalismn

Advanced training in the techniques of torture, specifically how to resist them. Emphasis is on pain management/accommodation, deep meditation/trance, and recognition of more subtle techniques such as sensory deprivation. Does NOT offer bonuses against blatant biological torture techniques such as drugs, but does offer some resistance bonuses against psionic probes. Self-hypnosis and 'safe word' techniques are often taught to recipients of this training, for post-rescue recovery.

Bonuses:

+1d4 M.E.
+1 P.E.
+2 to save versus pain, torture, hypnosis, and mind control, +1 every 3 levels of experience.
+2 save versus insanity
+1 save versus possession
