The wound doesn't go away--it is just ignored through self-persuasion. |

Each successful check allows you to memorize a single page of text (up to 800 words), numbers, diagrams, or sigils (even if you don't recognize their meaning). If a document is longer than one page, you can make additional checks for each additional page. You always retain this information; however, you can recall it only with another successful Autohypnosis check. |

If you have negative hit points and are losing hit points due to bleeding, you can substitute a DC 20 Autohypnosis check for your d% roll to see if you become stable. If the check is successful, you stop losing hit points: you do not gain any hit points, however, as a result of the check. You can substitute this check for the d% roll in later rounds if you are initially unsuccessful. |
