Prerequisites: Pass Without a Trace
Skill List: Druid
Skill Rules & Full Description
This skill calls upon the strength and toughness of the trees to make the
character stronger, adding 25 Body Points to the character that can be
healed. These extra points are the first Body Points lost when the
character is damaged.
Additionally, while this skill is active the character will be immune to the
Void Touch attack if delivered by weapon, talon, or claw. This skill will
not cure exiting Void Touch affects or mutations, and will not stop Void
Touch from any other source.
To use this skill, the character must touch a living, healthy, normal, non-
sentient tree with bark.
This skill requires the use of the character’s focus and a verbal, which
must be at least 5 syllables, not including the skill’s name, and must
contain some reasonably recognizable version of the name of the skill.
It should be noted that people that live in biomes different from Avalon
and most adventuring areas may call upon other living things to create a
protective natural skin. These need to be learned about and how to use
in-game and is up to Plot’s discretion on player’s use.
