[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[Betimi]

[OoC: I will assume you normally have the Aura OFF.  But you will have to remind me when you have the Aura of Sadness activated because everyone around you, including friends should be affected by the –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks.  Betimi has been standing in the middle of 4 of her companions who would have been affected by the Aura.] 

Aura of Sadness: You emit an aura of depression and anguish that overtakes even the strongest-willed creatures. Every adjacent creature is overcome with grief, which manifests as a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks, for as long as it remains adjacent to you. You can suppress or activate this ability as a standard action.]

She does, I was roleplaying it that it can still be sensed slightly, just not enough to have a game effect while she is suppressing it.
