In short: don't go crazy. There are those possessed of spiritual fortitude strong enough to shrug off the bizarre, grotesque, and unnatural as though commonplace; souls who have hardened their minds against the unspeakable aspects of the universe.

The Sanity skill is a person's primary weapon against horrifying situations or unnerving supernatural oddities: extra-dimensional beings, mutilated corpses, visions of the end of the world, twisted scientific experiments, or reduced-calorie fast food. Anything which threatens to break a character's understanding of reality calls for a Sanity check.
