Self-Healing
Attribute: Empathy
Psionics lack the close emotional empathic skills to perform Empathic Healing on others. However, they are masters of their own biofunctions, via their "mind over matter" talents.
This skill works two ways. The first is to heal bodily wounds or illnesses by accelerating the natural healing process (but this cannot cure cancer and similar illnesses which draw strength from the healing process in the first place). After the mandatory Willpower check, Self-Healing is an Average test (if the mandatory Willpower check results in an Outstanding Success, the difficulty for Self-Healing drops to Simplistic). Each level of success lowers the healing time of a wound by half (to a minimum time of one hour). Self-Healing may only be used one time for each wound .
The second use for Self-Healing is to accelerate the body to heights of physical performance. For each stage of success, the psionic may (1) increase his STR, AGL, or CON by 1 point, or (2) increase his foot movement by 25%. This effect lasts for one five-second combat phase. A Catastrophic Failure when using Self- Healing indicates that the psionic has overdone it. If Self-Healing a wound, that wound accumulates enough damage points to move it to the next wound level; if accelerating the body, the psionic receives damage points equal to a Slight wound in one random body location. He can only hope that body section isn't already injured ... *Psionic
