Meditation can sometimes help with faster restoration of ISP or PPE, and sometimes count as sleep, depending on which set of rules is being used.
Nightbane is one good example.
- p67 "Meditation is a skill ability in which the psychic places himself in a simple hypnotic trance. This meditative trance provides maximum relaxation, recovering 4 ISP per hour.
- p68 "one hour of meditation restores six (6) ISP and is the equivalent of two hours of sleep/rest for the physical body
This apparent contradiction is usually resolved by viewing 68's six as the total, and 67's four as an added bonus to an earlier mentioned rate:
- Total Relaxation an/or sleep at a rate of 2 ISP for every hour
Meditation (according to Rifts®: Ultimate Edition):[]
- Range: Self.
- Duration: As needed; at least one hour of meditation is required.
- I.S.P.: None, zero.
Meditation is a trance state of consciousness in which the individual can calm his emotions and focus on relaxation of mind and body. In a meditative state, the psychic finds peace and harmony between mind, body and spirit, and it is in this state of being that he can regenerate his Inner Strength (I.S.P.). Recovers Base I.S.P. at a rate as indicated under each psychic O.C.C., otherwise six I.S.P. per hour of meditation.
