Effect
Touch a willing ally. Transfer one condition or debuff from them to yourself. You can absorb:
- Suppressed, Blinded (temporary), Stunned, or Prone conditions
- Up to 3 Strain
- A Grievous Wound (you suffer the wound instead of them)
- A psionic effect currently affecting them (you become the new target, inheriting remaining duration)
Steps
+1 additional ally per Step (absorb from multiple sources in one cast).
Special
You take the full weight of whatever you absorb. If you take a Grievous Wound, it’s real — your body suffers the Broken Bone, the Internal Bleeding, the Concussion. The Bastion Soul’s role is to be the one who can bear it. Iron endures.
