Inspiration

INSPIRATION is the ability to address a crowd, encourage and guide your friends, and create or understand works of art. When trying to influence the thoughts or actions of a group of people, you make an INSPIRATION test. When a player character has sustained a mental critical injury, they sometimes require INSPIRATION in order not to become chronically Broken (see chapter 5). If you pass the test they are no longer Broken. Each extra success heals one mental Condition. If you fail and wish to try again, you must first find another way of getting through to them. You may need to take them to a new place, seek help from someone else, or find another way to connect with them. INSPIRATION can be used to heal mental Conditions. Your friends must be somewhere safe, have access to food and drink, and be willing to engage in close contact or dialogue with you. You make an INSPIRATION test each day you spend together without doing anything else. A successful test heals three mental Conditions, distributed between your friends as you see fit. Each extra success heals another three Conditions. Even the Broken Condition can be healed this way. Usually a failed test simply means that a day has been wasted, though the Gamemaster may allow an enemy to act.
