Description
COOL FOR: UNSTOPPABLE FIGHTERS. GUYS WHO WON’T DIE. MASOCHISTS.
Pain Threshold ignores damage so you can push on, bloodied and crawling, to the bitterest end. It enables you to negate damage you would otherwise take. Even mental pain – heartache and loneliness. In fact, these things can become a thrill you seek out and perversely revel in.
At high levels, Pain Threshold turns in on itself in seriously unhealthy way, with full-on self-destructive behaviour. With a low Pain Threshold, however, you will suffer too easily. Even a slap from a teenager will make you whine and complain.
