Substitutes for: Status.
Feature: Defends Helplessness
Feature: Unique. Inspire positive attitudes and action. (On a successful roll, you can encourage or lift somebody’s spirits, or persuade them to do something positive or affirmative. You can’t get them to do something illegal or against their character. You can shake someone out of a frozen or flight state if they have failed a stress check. In any case, you need to be able to speak to the person and you need to be able to look each other in the eye. This can work on small (up to 10 people) and large (10 or more) groups, with a -10% or -20% shift.)
