Umbra's Reprise

7
Requires Seasoned
You possess the ability to rapidly heal yourself.
Used by Luci Alessi, Created by Riley.

Umbra's shadow will climb up her own body like rolling black rainwater. Black tendrils will shoot to different portions of the wound and slowly close them up. If the wound would have killed her, a line of shadowy stitches will follow along the injury. Reference: Venom.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 10 minutes, starting once it becomes stabilized. Battle Scars caused by your Injuries are also healed when the Injuries that caused them regenerate. Any Injuries you receive stabilize automatically and do not deteriorate further.

As long as at least half your body remains intact, you cannot die and remain at Incapacitated, regardless of how many Injuries you take. It is clear to observers that you are still alive. If you take any Injuries that would kill you, they instead cause Battle Scars which cannot be regenerated through this effect.

Community Passive Gifts

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. While incapacitated, you can take one Action per minute, starting one minute after you were incapacitated. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life.

While Incapacitated, your only weakness is fully draining the body of blood, and if you take Damage from it, you will die. Damage from other sources will still be dealt and can cause Battle Scars, but will only kill you if your body is destroyed completely. If your weakness is not immediately obvious, attackers may roll to discover it. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.

  • Actions taken while incapacitated are taken at a full penalty unless you have a relevant penalty reduction.
