Ebb: Healing

Heal scratches, bruises etc.

Stop bleeding, one wound/FLUX. Stops bleeding but will not help in the repair of damaged tissue, bone or flesh i.e. Only wounds may be recovered, not hit points (see Combat section) at a cost of one wound per unit of FLUX.

Repair tissue/bone, one hit/FLUX. Weakest form of actual healing. For every point of FLUX spent, 1 hit point is regained.

Stop bleeding, two wounds/FLUX. An improved version of Rank 1 that allows the coagulation of the blood to be achieved at a faster rate. Only wounds may be recovered at a rate of two wounds/FLUX

Repair tissue/bone, two hits/FLUX. Healing, now with a better understanding, can be accomplished quicker with 2 hit points being recovered for every FLUX point spent.

Stop bleeding, three wounds/FLUX. A great many Ebons only reach this level of wound healing but it is a powerful Ebb ability with 3 wounds recovered for each FLUX point spent.

Repair tissue/bone, three hits/FLUX. Now, with a better understanding of the body and its functions, the Ebon can heal 3 hits per FLUX point spent

Repair tissue/bone, four hits/FLUX. Reaching this level of healing for an Ebon is as far as they would normally have to reach to attain competence at the healing arts. Four hits are recovered per FLUX point spent

Repair tissue/bone, five hits/FLUX. Better than the last one. Five hits are recovered per FLUX point spent.

Repair tissue/bone, six hits/FLUX. This is the pinnacle of physical healing without going into the realms of regrowth. Six hits are recovered per FLUX point spent,

Stop all bleeding, all wounds/FLUX. The most powerful form of coagulation, this ability will stop all bleeding in the body for the cost of 1 FLUX point.

(Small) Fingers, toes etc., one FLUX/hit point in that location. The actual regeneration of small limbs, e.g. fingers and toes, involves skills akin to grafting parts of the body back on after their amputation but when a limb or appendage is completely destroyed, it takes this skill to restore it. Most of this healing will be at the GM' s discretion as limbs such as fingers and toes are not always covered by actual combat damage. This costs 1 FLUX/hit point in that location. This takes upon average 5 minutes/limb.

(Large) Arms, legs etc., one FLUX/hit point in that location. The regeneration of full limbs is easier than small limbs but it costs more in FLUX and can only be used on arms and legs. This process takes about 10 minutes/limb and costs 1 FLUX/hit point in that location.

(Super) Torso, one FLUX/hit point in that location. The third form of regeneration deals with the torso or parts thereof. It is a long and arduous process to perform this ability. One hit point must remain in the torso to be regenerated. You cannot make something from nothing. It takes 1 hour to regenerate a damaged torso and costs 1 FLUX/hit point in that location.

Removes all drug addictions, double FLUX cost for combat drugs, takes 4 hours. Purification of the body from toxins (drugs) is a long and difficult process. It requires four hours to perform the purification and during this time, no other actions may be undertaken. If concentration is broken then you must start again. It costs 14 FLUX points and double that if the purification is of combat drugs. This ability also completely stops the effects of Gore Cannon psychovirus and toxins as well as everyday poisons.

Increase hits, 10 FLUX/hit permanent. Max. half original hits. This is the manipulation of muscle and tissue within your own body giving you a limited increase in hit points costing 10 FLUX/hit.

2 FLUX/hit up to a maximum of 20 hits. Precognitive healing is the ability to prepare your own body for forthcoming injury. By doing this, the hit points that are created do not exist until you are wounded then any damage is taken by these extra hit points first. Any damage left over is taken by your natural hit points. It costs 2 FLUX/hit point up to a maximum of 20 hits.

10 FLUX/ rank of Psychosis, duration 48 hours, takes 5 hours to accomplish. Retardation of Psychosis is the power to manipulate someone's mind in such a way that it has a soothing effect on their character I persona for a short period of time. This is a time consuming process. An undisturbed period of 5 hours is needed to complete although as much FLUX as you want can be spent in this time to remove any ranks of psychosis as you want or have the FLUX for. The effects, unfortunately last for only 48 hours and cost 10 FLUX/rank of psychosis.

Passive Healing for self. Cure all hits/5 FLUX. This ability allows you to completely heal your own body at very little cost to yourself, curing all hits/5 FLUX.

Resurrection if no more than 4 minutes dead, Cost: 40 FLUX, 30 with Ebon Medikit. This is the most powerful form of healing that an Ebon can perform. It requires very little time to actually perform but the cost in FLUX is great. Resurrection cannot be performed on yourself. This skill costs 40 FLUX or 30 with a medi-kit as long as the person is no longer than 4 minutes dead.

Cost: 20 FLUX, See explanation: Soul Caging is a complicated ability which requires great concentration (CONC). The following is an explanation of how it is performed: The Ebon sees into the victim's mind. It is usually pictured as a surreal setting, a chamber or corridor lined with doors that lead to memories, feelings and fears. Many of these emotional doors are open, though most usually remain closed. The Ebon can change the victim's way of thinking by filling or cleaning out these rooms, although it is dangerous and sometimes a terrifying prospect especially when dealing with the insane whose corridors vary in style and design from person to person. A lot of information can be ascertained simply from the style of hall-way that leads to the victim's deepest thoughts and feelings. To change past events, the Ebon must enter the door to that time of memory and relive and change it, but be warned- the Ebon must be fast. They have twenty minutes to return from the victim's mind or be trapped there. The victim will arise, possibly changed, but the Ebon will be a vegetable. In this event, any friends must seek another Soul Cager to enter the victim and lead the trapped Ebon out, however, battling Soul Cagers can aim to lock each other in, using the appropriate doors. Guns, blades and Ebb equipment are useless in here. The Ebon must use will, cunning and psychological skill to change and alter the victim's mind whilst they lie in stasis or sleep. Some minds are difficult to change, especially with the deeply scarred and extreme, deep rooted psychotics like Hallowe' en Jack whose mind holds many old Soul Cagers. The doors and passageways come in many shapes and forms, sometimes alleyways, cathedrals, parks or even wild, elaborate tunnels. To enter the main doorway to the victim's mind requires a CONC roll -5 and the Ebon must spend 20 FLUX or else they are thrown from the mind. As long as the Ebon is out within twenty minutes then no further complications will arise. Most of the Soul Caging process is at the Games Master's discretion as it takes some time to accomplish.
