Willpower

Time Taken: One round.

Specializations: Kind of coercion to be resisted — persuasion, intimidation.

Willpower is a character's strength of will and determination. It is used to resist intimidation and persuasion.

Also, when a character fails a stamina check, if the character can make a willpower check at one higher level of difficulty, he can drive himself on through sheer willpower. A character doing this has to make a willpower check as often as he would normally have had to make a stamina check, with all checks at one difficulty level higher. Once the character fails a check or stops pushing himself, he is completely exhausted and must rest double the normal length of time. If, as a result of failing a stamina check, the character would have suffered any damage, the character suffers one worse wound level as a result of pushing his body far beyond its limitations.
