There is agony, so why not a spell to give you a little boost when you are beaten.
Temporary Vigor
RANGE TYPE DURATION DV
LOS M S 3
This spell makes the subject not feel the pain it’s experiencing. When casting this spell, roll Sorcery + Magic with a threshold of (– total condition modifier). For each hit, temporarily remove one 1 box of Stun, Physical, or Overflow damage per net hit. Injuries can only be affected once by multiple castings of this spell, requiring separate castings and sustaining of this spell. When the spell ends, the target feels the full force of its injuries again.
My review of Shadowrun 6th Ed is coming, but here is something I think will help.
MODIFICATION CAPACITY AVAIL COST
Plating [Rating] [Rating] x 2 Rating x 2000¥
Plating armors up a suit of armor. The armor increases the soak roll by a value equal to its rating. Each time the suit of armor absorbs damage, reduce rating this modification by one.
Thoughts?
Saw a few of these kind of qualities, so I would like to propose a generic one to cover all the bases.
That Damn Good(Skill
Others are lucky, you’re just good
