Where [[Resistance (Ability)]] covers a character's ability to overcome physical struggles, the Integrity ability covers overcoming mental ones. Shrugging off the allure of a demagogue's speech or the sales pitch of a merchant hawker, holding against logical fallacies in debate, remaining true in face of social manipulation (or a pretty face), all fall under the aegis of Integrity. Integrity is also used to resist supernatural influence on the mind. 


Integrity is in some ways akin to, but distinct from, the [[Virtue]] of [[Conviction]] (one's faith, strength of belief) and [[Willpower]] (one's determination and sense of self).
