Concentration (Cyberpunk RED)
Definition
Concentration represents your mental discipline and ability to maintain focus under extreme pressure. When bullets are flying, explosions are going off, and everything is chaos, Concentration is what keeps you from freezing up or losing your nerve. Concentration uses your WILL stat and is your primary mental resilience skill. It governs your ability to resist fear, torture, interrogation, and the maddening stress of life in Night City. When someone tries to break your will—whether through intimidation, pain, or psychological warfare—Concentration is your defense. It also covers maintaining focus during complex tasks when there are distractions, like performing surgery during a firefight or picking a lock while alarms blare. In a city designed to overwhelm your senses and break your spirit, a strong mind is as vital as a strong body.
