Meditation
Cost Level=Action Number+1 Level
Description: This is the act of mentally focusing your thoughts upon one action or thought. Basic meditation is okay but this is the more advanced version that you can be taught or learn on your own over a couple of months to years.
It is normally used to relax or to clear your thoughts of distractions. The difference between this Action and Concentration is that you have to have approval from the GM to combine it with another Action.
Stones put into it can be used to represent the focusing of ones senses to detect something, to focus upon another task like writing, art, remembering something, etc. as long as the GM says that it is okay to combine the two actions.
Also when you shift stones from this Action into Defense they add to your Mental Defense for as long as you put stones from it into Defense. This also adds to Intelligence to resist the Fear Action and any Action that targets Intelligence.
Remember,unlike Concentration you have to have the Gms approval to combine it with other Actions. Except Intelligence which you can automatically combine this Action with.
Meditation is a general Action, but you may add one Speciality per Action Number or increase in Action Number during play to indicate particular prowess. Some of the Specialities are listed below. Feel free to make up your won.
Specialities include
(feel free to make up your own):
Relaxing focus *Creative focus *Death-like trance (Must have an AN of 5 or higher to take this and can only use it if you have this speciality.)*Mental focus *Protective mental focus *Memorizing focus *Healing trance (Must have an AN of 5 or higher to take this and can only use it if you have this speciality. 4x healing rate while in this trance.)
Comments
This is a fairly cheap Action but good for those who wish to flesh out their character. It can get powerful at the mid to high levels and is good to round out a Mystic-type character.
Rules for the Action Box:
*Specialities if you have any
Example:Shin is being targeted by the Fear power and is meditating to resist its effects. He puts 3 stones into Meditation and shift them into Defense. His normal Intelligence is a 3 so it is boosted to a 6 from Meditation for that panel against the Fear power.
Shin is later having a hard time figuring out something and decides to meditate to focus his mind on it. He puts 4 stone into Meditation and has the Mental focus speciality giving him 6 additional stones beyond what he puts into his Intelligence to figure out the problem.#nosmileys#nosmileys
