Essential Sleep

The subject needs more sleep than others of her kind.   Type: Minor negative.   Effect: Almost all animals need to sleep, but most can survive well enough on reduced or missing sleep, at least for a few days. Someone with this mutation, however, cannot. If she sleeps less than 8 hours per day, she suffers a -2 penalty on all ability and skill checks for each hour missed, until such time as she gets 8 hours of uninterrupted, continuous rest. Furthermore, in order to avoid simply falling asleep regardless of a desire to keep going, the character must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1 per hour of sleep missed) or collapse on the spot. This will not occur in actual combat, but may happen at any other time.   Biotech: Implant.
