| Talent:Wood Skin |
| Rank: 10 |
Use of this knack imbues the adept with energy, causing her to glow as though on fire. While this knack is in effect, the adept can draw on this inner fire for all strain costs, taking no damage for use of talents, items, etc. (though the adept may spend no more than her wood skin rank in strain in a given round or the talent ends and the adept suffers one Wound). Activating this knack requires an extraordinary success on a Wood Skin test against the user's toughness step, and also requires an Excellent Success made each round to maintain the effect. This knack requires an action and 2 Strain to initiate, but does not require prior use of wood skin, and each use lasts at most a number of rounds equal to the Wood Skin rank. Also, when the effect ends, the adept takes 1 Strain for every round Fire Skin was active. This Strain is taken all at once, and can cause a Wound if it exceeds the adept's Wound Threshold.
