Your Game Master may accept to waive such prerequisites if your background or in game actions justify it. Unlike normal Feats, a Prowess can be acquired several times.


Description

Using exactly the right words and the right tone, you instil doubt and uncertainty in your target. Slowly shattering the core of their soul.

Depending on how familiar you are with target and depending on the strength of his beliefs, it may take few sentences or few hours or not be possible at all.

If the maddening attempt is successful, the target will either cow and sob or try to attack you violently, then it will permanently suffer for the effects of Insane or Lost Faith depending on its personality.

If the target's will is too strong to, break, the game master has to warn you before using the Feat. In particular, this Feat can't break an opponent that has the Courage Feat.
