Antibodies

Basic Action

Protect a creature from disease and slow toxins by touch. The target adds his Mind to his Body when resisting Infection, both damage and any rolls to halt the progress of disease or poison. This protection lasts for a day. You are normally assumed to use this on yourself each day. This does nothing for other types of biological damage, including neurotoxins; the only poisons affected are the slow ones covered under Infection damage.

You can end the effects of other powers. You can only dispel powers you know of (though a vague description, such as "whatever is making Bert turn green" is ok). You can try to dispel a single Finisher, Limit Break, or any power that has been in effect for a week or more, or you can try to dispel all powers except those mentioned above on one creature or in an area with a diameter equal to your Mind. When dispelling several powers at once, you can choose to ignore some of them as long as you know of each power you want to make an exception for.

A power that has been dispelled cannot be used again by that creature in this scene, and another creature that tries to use the same power in the same general area must match your Know with the stunt the power is used with, or it fails.

This will not negate a Curse, but will tell you how to defeat the curse if the roll is successful.

Inherent powers cannot be dispelled.

The difficulty is the skill of the most skilled creature involved in making the effect. Effects that have been around a long time are harder to dispel: see the table. Use the highest relevant difficulty.

You can dispel any power of the Life form or that affects a plant or a natural, living creature. This is normally any creature that is Plant, Animal, or Folk.

Heal Wounds

Limit Break

You heal three Hits or remove the effect of a Damage Setback from a touched living creature.

Health Surge

Trigger Action

When you or an ally within Know meters takes damage, you increase their soak attribute by +3 for resisting that particular damage.

Life Support

Inherent

You are inherently resistant to extremes of environment, surviving conditions such as extreme temperature, pressure, chemical environment, and radiation. You can survive in any environment where life can survive, but you may have to suspend your body functions to survive in truly exotic locales.
