Description

“Optimus Prime -- this is madness! We're beaten, defeated! We must surrender before we're all killed!
“Do you have the white flag?”
“The flag —? Oh, yes, the flag! Thank Primus! I'll tie it to the front battlements and —”
“You'll bind my wound with it, soldier!”
        — Mattock and Optimus Prime


Optimus Prime can shrug off some damage effects through sheer force of will and inspire others to do the same. As a standard action, Optimus can target himself or another character able to perceive him with an auditory sense. Optimus makes a DC 11 Persuasion check, and if successful, follows with a Healing check (DC 10) with a +1 bonus per point by which his Persuasion check result exceeded 10. The subject recovers from one damage condition for each degree of success. This effect can only assist the subject to recover from the dazed condition or from penalties assigned to Toughness as a result of damage; it doesn’t assist in recovering from other damage effects and cannot provide a bonus on checks to resist disease or poison.

This effect doesn’t actually perform repairs or speed up natural healing; it is a “psychological” effect. As such, it may not always be efficacious depending on the severity of the damage or the descriptors associated with the damaging effect(s) at the gamemaster’s discretion. Any healing that does take place as a result of this ability is undetectable (although Optimus’ interaction can be detected normally).
