You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your Stress from Injuries is reduced to 0. Does not reduce Stress from Mind Damage.

Injuries inflicted upon the body feel warm, often due to the blood produced by the injury. Your nerves cannot receive intense signals that warn of unimaginable pain, in part due to a never-ending supply of adrenaline to the body. They are at most a light burning that tickles the nerves. While noticeable, it has no bearing on your ability to act. In addition, your mind is a fortress. You suppress your fears and traumas and are able to save face when you need to most. Pain is a distant memory that only creeps up when you make a feeble attempt at sleep. Even when drugged or knocked out cold, your nightmares are too powerful. You will spend much of your life awake, terrorized by visions that plague your mind, and by the hurt you can only feel by letting your mind sleep.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0.
