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. |

====Willpower==== | ====Willpower==== | ||
If reduced to 0 hit points (disabled), you can make an Autohypnosis check. If successful, you can take a normal action while at 0 hit points without taking 1 point of damage. You must make a check for each strenuous action you want to take. A failed Autohypnosis check in this circumstance carries no direct penalty—you can choose not to take the strenuous action and thus avoid the hit point loss. If you do so anyway, you drop to -1 hit points, as normal when disabled. | If reduced to 0 hit points (disabled), you can make an Autohypnosis check.

| + | If you area affected by an ongoing mind-affecting effect, you may as a full-round action attempt to end that effect. You may attempt to end an effect in this fashion even if you would not normally be able to do so due to limited actions or control over your own mind. | ||
