The intro description says I draw on my mental strength and physical fortitude to break free. However, it's used to break free of a "debilitating state", therefore I don't necessarily need to be able to move or have full control of my mental abilities to use it...?It feels as though as long as I'm not unconscious or dead I can use it..?Do most of you house rule this ability or is it really as big of a get out of jail free card as it looks?</blockquote>
