Mental Resistance

Mental Resistance (MR) is the ability to control fear and other feelings, to withstand pain and also to resist spells or mental skills. We speak of mental resistance as a passive skill, because you use it unconsciously, as a reflex or a defense of soul and body. In every being it develops gradually depending on how often it is exposed to stress, fear or the influences of spells and magic. The MR roll is always automatic. Except in rare cases, MR cannot be used against priestly prayers.

Roll against a spell

If you are resisting a spell or a psychic influence, roll MR and add the relevant bonus (if you have any).

Roll against a prayer

MR will usually not help you against a prayer, since you are measuring your strength against a god. Follow the description of the prayer instead.

Courage

Whenever you are to roll for courage, count Mental Resistance + the relevant bonuses.
