The Dispossessed

Description

They thought they had taken everything from you, just like the Empire picks clean the hovels of Idania, leaving behind a carcass of society. The bones are bare and white; a vulture caws in the distance. But what is the sound of a man deprived of the thing he loves most? A clatter of hooves and greaves. The dull rasp of a sword unsheathed.

Sound of Mind

The memory of your loss defies death. Take 1 stress: If you would be knocked unconscious, you regain consciousness until the end of your next turn. (You may invoke this ability as a reaction, even if you’ve already acted in the round.) While stressed and unarmored, you soak 1 point from any single source of damage. Damage absorbed in this way stacks with your other source(s) of soak.

Are you sure?
