Survival Instinct
Racial Trait
Effect
The character belongs to a race with a powerful life-force and an equally powerful will to survive. For some individuals this energy shows itself in clamorous hollering and an acute restlessness; for others it manifests itself in a more useful survival instinct.
Effects by Level
Novice (Level 1)
Free. Thanks to its explosive survival instinct, the character may perform one extra Movement Action once per scene.
Adept (Level 2)
Reaction. The character trusts its instincts and has learned that rolling with the punches often saves your life. The character's finely honed survival instinct provides it with a permanent +1D4 to Armor.
Master (Level 3)
Free. There resides a powerful fighting spirit within each member of the character's race, and that spirit can show itself when the character is backed into a corner. The character has nurtured this hot-tempered aggression and may sacrifice a Movement Action once per scene to perform an extra Combat Action.
