 ==Description==
-A [[hero]] with clear thoughts has their [[sanity]] always treated as the maximum of 100 for any effects that check their sanity level. As a result, both chance-based and guaranteed madness effects are entirely ignored or suppressed, and a character will never suffer the negative effects of suddenly losing sanity, such as [[screaming]] or panicking: this does not affect their actual sanity level, which will continue to rise or drop as normal, and madness can still be gained, but are also suppressed like other pre-existing types of madness. If temporary clear thoughts expires or an extrinsic source of the property leaves the hero's inventory, the effects of their madnesses will immediately resume as normal.

+If a hero has the [[walking nightmare]] property, the clear thoughts property is partially blocked and the effects of losing sanity are no longer suppressed: The character's sanity loss is treated as {{frac|5}} of its current value, with every 5 points of sanity loss corresponding to one point while afflicted by nightmares (e.g., 0 normal sanity is 80 effective sanity). The effects of sanity loss scale with this lowered sanity loss, and last for only {{frac|5}} of their normal duration.
