Staunch

	Staunch
Requirements:	5
Slot Cost:	2
Difficulty:	advanced
Type / Skill:	meditation / augmentation
Path:	Predator
Description:	A deep mental focus is required to staunch the flow of blood from cuts and injuries. Via a slowing of heart rate and a deep tensing of key muscle groups, a barbarian trades strength, agility and fatigue for a short lease on life.
Effect:	Stops all bleeding for a time.
Messaging:	Start: With great effort you redirect the flames and pull them deeper inward. The flames slowly retreat deeper inside you and away from exposed flesh and wounds. The flames roll deep inside you and prevent your life's blood from slipping away!

Staunch will stop any loss of health from bleeders (external and internal) while active. This does not necessarily include new wounds to bleeder locations until it pulses. It additionally will heal external wounds over time (not internal wounds).
