Everything

Nothing hurts until it kills you. Okay, it probably does hurt, but not enough to slow you down. Wound penalties do not affect your character at all; until she dies, she usually functions with her full dice pools intact. This Merit does not in any way change the way in which she takes damage – for that Merit, see below – but it radically changes the way said damage affects her ability to get things done.

There is, of course, a downside to all this: Pain tells us that we’re not functioning properly and should probably stop while we’re ahead. And so, you’ll also do stuff like burn yourself by accident, try to walk on broken legs, and notice cuts only when the blood is seeping through your shirt. Although pain won’t slow you down, shattered bones and organs will. Injuries that inflict significant physical im­ pairment (crushed legs, broken skull, gouged-out eyes, etc.) supersede your usual immunity to dice-pool penalties due

to wounds, and you might inflict further lethal injury upon yourself (Storyteller’s option) if you keep going after your body tries to tell you to stop.
