Madame Petice

This spectral gladiator can disarm even the biggest opponents with her Stand True and Remain True abilities. Stand True is only useable while she is unset, but on her 3rd and 4th levels, she can use it while she is set or unset. Compared to Let Freedom Ring, she has to pay 1 CP more, but she always has that ability available (Really good to get rid of those cheap but strong pumps--Look out Bio-tek and War).
The Madame also gets to use the abilites of any Gladiator in your funeral pyre by using her Channeling and Spiritual Medium abilities. Not bad when you want to haunt your opponents from beyond the grave! It has no cost but it does set her no matter what even if the ability didn't set the original gladiator. If the ability caused the original gladiator to set, she could still use that ability and she would set. She cannot use an ability that said while set. A good test would be to take the ability of the target gladiator, take away the +, - or ? flow symbol, tack on a set symbol at the end of the cost and then you can tell if you can use it. That includes while raging and while not raging abilities.
The flow for any action you choose to use is always negative because her ability is negative; it is overriding. She has to be unset to do it and it takes a lot out of her so make sure it's worth it.
