Mental Drag (GAP)

__TOC__
If a basher tosses a dart on the Astral, it keeps going forever until it hits something, right? So, then, if that basher gets himself moving, he'll keep moving, even if he goes to sleep, right?
Wrong. Why? It's like this. A nonthinking object has a mental force behind it to keep it moving. A thinking being is always thinking, even if unconscious or sleeping. If no conscious part of the traveler's mind is thinking about moving (even a tiny bit), the other extraneous thoughts, dreams, etc. will begin to slow the sod down. These extraneous thoughts create a kind of mental drag in the same way air and gravity drag on an object moving on a terrestrial plane. Unless something is consciously acting upon the object to move, the extraneous thoughts will eventually bring a basher to a stop.
Just as a wagon won't move while the horses are asleep, an astral traveler has to keep at least a little bit of conscious concentration to propel himself through the void. 'Course, if a berk's got no thoughts at all, he'll move forever just like any object
