Putrefaction

From The World Is A Vampire
Jump to: navigation, search
Thanatosis


This power allows the vampire to induce decomposition in an opponent. Rapid movement speeds the Putrefaction until pieces of flesh and hair begin to fall off the target. These penalties increase every turn the afflicted character is active. The only way to prevent these atrocious losses is to cease activity.

System: The vampire first declares how many blood points are to be spent, and then rolls Dexterity + Occult (Difficulty of the target's Stamina + Fortitude). For every success and ever Blood point spent, the opponent loses one point of Appearance. In addition, if the target continues to move or take and active roll in a combat situation, she will suffer the worst effects of the Putrefaction. Because of the rapid and painful decomposition of the flesh, the target must add one difficulty to all Physical and Social rolls. One full days rest nullifies the penalty.
