Cognitive Lapses
VoidTipos MentalScarDescrição
There are cases of samurai who have suffered a killing blow to the head, yet recovered, who are changed by the experience. Some display all manner of odd behaviors, such as forgetting old skills or acquaintances, or dramatic shifts in taste and perception. Others lose themselves, suffering gaps in their memory where the part of themselves they’ve lost takes control of their bodies.
In very few of these instances is the culprit an evil spirit who has slipped in through a wound or because of the Shadowlands Taint. Still, one must be vigilant.
