Pain Numbing (3 pts)

A common enhancement created for those Changed who were altered for combat purposes, pain numbing all but blocks any pain impulses in the body, rendering shock, trauma, and pain-based torture, ineffective. As a result, the Changed can continue fighting while injured at a far greater efficiency. The character may ignore penalties caused by wounds or pain, short of incapacitation, although they can still die due to blood loss, and physical torture causes no painful discomfort.
