Mental Discipline is the path to perfect balance between body and soul. Through mental practices and physical exercise you will in time attain almost magical abilities, and Mental Discipline can become your gateway to the Secret Arts.

For a character to be able to attain Mental Discipline, it is completely out of the question for them to regularly indulge in alcohol, gluttony, drugs or other similar weaknesses. If a trained character strays from the path and succumbs to these temptations, they gradually lose their abilities of harmony between soul and body (i.e. the benefits of Mental Discipline), and it takes weeks (sometimes even months) to regain full harmony.

Life Force

Part of working with mind and body is the ability to control the flow of life force within yourself and in your surroundings.

The path of life force forks. If you set out on the path of life, you will heal and cure. On the path of death you gain the ability to kill, control and destroy. Few can walk both paths at once.

Benefits of Mental Discipline

Influences affecting life force

Against influences that harm through working with life force (Touch of Death, Life Force Drain, spells and prayers of the Drain type), you can roll Mental Discipline instead of Mental Resistance (or roll both and take the better result).

Success roll

With Mental Discipline, success is checked by a standard success roll, but it also has many feats that you only need to know, without having to check for success.
