While on the Astral Plane the victim is unable to interact with the material world and has the following statistics.

INTELLIGENCE: for attacks   WITS: for defence   WILLPOWER: as health.

Any telepathic abilities the character has may still be used. The character is invisible and incorporeal and can only be attacked by other astral entities or beings with spirit strike like abilities.

NOTE: In the case of targets who are possessed, this power rips the invading spirit from its victim (meaning that characters with this power make effective exorcists).

HP: 8

Attack: +5

Defense/Initiative: +3

Resolve 0,  SPEED 10

HP: 12

Attack: +8

Defense/Initiative: +5

Resolve 0,  SPEED 10

INCORPOREAL FORM •••••

6 Points:

Prerequisites: Raise The Dead

The character transforms his body from solid flesh and bone to an intangible or dissolved state. Depending on the character's purpose and nature, he may liquefy, split into a swarm of insects, erupt into flame, evaporate into a cloud, blaze with a body of light, fade into a living shadow or dissolve his essence to a condition somewhere between material and spirit. Such liquid, gaseous or swarm characters can flow around physical obstructions and pour through tiny chinks.

SYSTEM:

SPEND: 1 Point of Faith OR

ROLL:     Faith Difficulty 12+

DURATION: 1 Scene per point of faith  OR 1 turn per success.

EFFECT:

• Purely physical  attacks only inflict bashing damage and the character cannot suffer more than one point of damage from a single attack.

• The reverse also holds true, however, and a character striking with a watery fist or a barrage of wasp stings (or whatever physical force he can exert) only inflicts bashing damage for a maximum of one point of damage per attack.

• Creative uses of this power can circumvent this limitation, such as assuming the form of water and drowning someone.

• Fire, magic and other effects that do not rely solely on force may harm a character's Incorporeal Form normally, and the character may in turn use other Arcana to interact with the world.

By Spending 2 faith points:

The thrall achieves true disembodiment, forfeiting matter for a body of light, darkness or a spectral apparition.

• In this mode the character can neither touch or be touched. (Exept by spirits)  It may use any non physical powers it possesses.

• The character remains faintly visible to perceptive witnesses and may appear more directly by rolling Faith 12+ 

• In this form the character uses INTELLIGENCE: for attacks   WITS: for defence   WILLPOWER: as health against other spirits.

If the target has an extremely powerful or dominant Vice, success brings that sin to prominence in the victim's soul.

During the period of infection, the target succumbs to her Vice in every tempting situation unless her player makes a successful Willpower roll (difficulty 14+).

​

Prerequisites: Compel the Sin + Sin Addiction Flaw.

The character may cannibalize her own soul for power in emergencies.

VISAGE OF GLORY:•••

4 Points:

Prerequisites: Shrouded Soul:

The character  glows with the spark of divinity(Metaphorically speaking)  for the rest of the scene. Anyone in the presence of the thrall finds their attention inexplicably drawn to them. Those listening to the thrall speak might suddenly agree on subjects where they once held different viewpoints. While this power doesn’t cause rapt infatuation, it is still strong enough to sway the minds of most mortals.

SYSTEM:

RANGE: 1 x Faith Meters.

ROLL: CHARISMA + FAITH vs  WITS + COMPOSURE

DURATION: 1 Scene.

NOTE: This does not prevent characters with hostile intentions from following through with their intentions.

This power if successful just allows the characters faith be added to any feats that use Charisma.

​

GIFT OF FAITH:••••

6 Points:

Prerequisites: Visage Of Glory

The character touches or makes eye contact with his target, while the player spends as many faith points as desired.

SYSTEM:

RANGE: 2 x Faith meters.

SPEND: 1 Point of Faith

ROLL:     FAITH + PERSUASION vs COMPOSURE + RESOLVE

Sentient beings within earshot who lose the roll  must obey the speaker for the rest of the scene to the best of their ability to do so, though the compulion cannot drive them to directly harm themselves or loved ones unless they are already strongly predisposed to do so. The speaker cannot simultaneously command a number of people greater than his Faith rank with this Arcana; when addressing crowds larger than this, the characters with the lowest Willpower ratings obey. The character may spend an additional FAITH point to magnify his voice so that it echoes with thunder and unmistakable power, easily cutting over the din of a noisy battlefield if so needed. when This is done the range is doubled.

NOTE: Spontanous orgies require ooc -consent- and as self preservation is maintained you can't make others fight for you. However you can command them to stop fighting, provided they are in no immediate danger by doing so.

Demons are immune to this power

 

SHIELD OF SPITE:•••

4 Points:

Prerequisites: Conquering Will

*Passive*

Whenever anyone attempts magic that opens telepathic contact with the character, either to read or attack his mind or control him they suffer 1 x torment  bashing damage.

NOTE: As this is "mental damage" it is possible to knock undead unconcious if they are reduced to zero wounds. However they are not torpored and will awaken 1 x Torment turns after being knocked out. If it does not reduce a character to zero health it will give them a super massive headache inflicting a minus 2 penality on all actions.

The thrall can overwhelm a persons mind with a wave of telepathic energy

SYSTEM:

SPEND: 1 point of Faith

SYSTEM:

The thrall must touch her target to use this power, when a grapple or touch is successful.

SYSTEM:

ROLL: WITS + PERCEPTION

DIFFICULTY 12+

The player does not choose the outcome, but knows how a die will roll, who will draw the short straw and so forth. The usefulness of this ability is usually situational though it does allow for a massive edge in games of chance when predicting outcomes can be very rewarding.

 

PREMONITION:••

2 points:

Prerequisite: Fortunate Guess

Like a spider in its web, the character senses vibrations in the strands of fate when danger approaches. Although he only receives a moment of warning, this is enough to infallibly ward against ambush or similarly hostile surprise.

​

FORETELL:••••

5 points:

SYSTEM:

ROLL:  WITS + PERCEPTION

DIFFICULTY: 16+ 

Each success permits the player to ask one question about a specific event or outcome yet to come, and the Storyteller must answer as truthfully as possible given her knowledge about character plans and motivations.

Predictions are never completely accurate, but serve to model likelihoods. Only God sees the fullness of time with clarity.

This ability obviously requires storyteller interpretation. If the insight requested involves a group, the storyteller must be from that group.

PRECURSOR  BODY

(4 points):

The  Precursor body is the body that humanity was gifted with before the event of the fall caused by "Original Sin"

Character’s Physical attributes STRENGTH, STAMINA, DEXTERITY and CHARISMA are all increased by 1 dot. This may take the character above 5 in the dots. Characters seem to eschew the Aesthetic appearance  of the Greek God archetypes or Super Hero physique. Their charisma increase is due to the near perfect symmetry of their faces and chiselled features. More than one Hollywood Celebrity In L.A the City Of Angels has made pacts with resident Fallen or Earthbound there for this very gift. As with all gifts, this ability is taken back upon leaving the cult, though when it is two dots are taken back instead of the 1 dot given. In Hollywood this explains the fall of many celebrity and the traumatic cases of botched plastic surgery.

DIFFICULTY: 14+

​

​

SUPERNATURAL AWARENESS

1 points.

The thrall has a limited version of her master’s power to sense supernatural energies. To get a “feel” of the supernatural qualities of a given area. A hospital room might emanate a sense of pain and loss, imprinted by the emotions of the patients and doctors who’ve struggled and died within its walls. An otherwise unassuming basement might reek of the foul rituals performed there days before. Additionally, an alert character can sense the use of supernatural energies within her general vicinity. The fabric of reality distorts momentarily when powers are used, and the character can feel the ripples caused by this brief disturbance. Highly perceptive characters can draw extensive information from these ripples, gaining a sense of where the supernatural event took place.  If a character wishes to sense the energies at work in her area.

NOTE: This is more powerful than -basic- "Awareness" as it gives more details and is -not- contested. This is a sensitivity to the fabric of reality, not an individuals skill at affecting it.

• They may even deduce what -type- of magic was used "Mind, Illusion, Elemental, Spiritual, Scry" Etc.

• They may even tell -who- used magic if they are in the same scene or the caster remains at scene of spell.

• This will never reveal the species of the caster though.

• Wraith automatically trigger supernatural awareness by their presence.

NOTE: This detection is a free action and may rolled -each- turn that magic is used, or even during the casting process. This is rather unfortunate for those who need extended castings.

SYSTEM 

ROLL: PERCEPTION + WITS

(Or should favour the thrall in scenes where there is the option to be with the thrall compared to another being (This compulsion is not as addictive as blood bonds or other supernatural effects, but it -is- more powerful than -zero- supernatural presence or addictive powers.)

RANK 2 ACCOLYTE GIFTS

RANK 2 GIFTS INTRODUCE THE ARSENAL OF THE BEAST:

​

Known as the Arsenal of the beast or the infernal form among thralls this particular set of powers give the thrall a "Combat" form of sorts.

CONDITIONS: Though the features may be grown simultaneously, you cannot -stack- the damage. You can only use one feature per action.((Defensive features may be used every time attacked though)

​

USING THE ARSENAL:

• Features marked *passive* do not need to be grown, these features are  passive and always in play.

• All other features need to be grown /activated This takes one full action per feature or a point of faith to be spent to make it a quick action.

​

INFERNAL FORM:

• The thrall may grow all features it has purchased at once. This is called an Infernal form. The Thrall needs to spend 1 point of faith and the transformation is instant

• An Infernal form has + 2 health + 2 stamina + 2 Strength + 2 Dexterity  + 2 to Brace rolls. In addition to other purchased abilities.

• An infernal form causes Lethal damage. However spending an additional point of faith for transformation makes the damage Aggravated.

• Infernal forms cause REVELATION.

• Infernal MUST  be represented as quite different from the humans normal form. Infernal forms appear  suitably "Demonic" or "Angelic" depending on Torment of character. There should be absolutely no question of passing for normal in infernal form.

• Infernal /Apocalyptic form allows the character to perceive trods and chimerical reality. Though the mists still erase the memory of what is seen in this form.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

​

ELDRITCH TONGUE*Passive*

1 Point.

The character's tongue has mutated into five slender pink tentacles covered in small suckers. It retains the normal ability of a human tongue for language and taste but is also dexterous enough to perform manipulation of objects much in the same way as a human hand. It is possible to type and perform similar such manipulations entirely hands free. The tongue (or tentacles ) can not lift any thing heavier than a shot glass, so using the appendage for combat applications is not possible. However in situations where hands are bound the tongue is more than capable of performing delicate tasks such as picking locks (with lock picks) or sending text messages via a phone. There are other -adult- applications of the tongue of course that definitely would give a sex worker a definitive edge over the competition. Folding and pressing the tentacles together maintains the appearance of a regular human tongue, though it might appear to be abnormal length.

 

 

HARDENED FLESH *Passive*

1 Point.

With this ability the character gains 1 extra point of stamina. This may take the thrall above 5 stamina.(Don't forget Stamina contributes to your HP)

 

RESILIENCE *Passive*

Immune to abilities or martial art manoeuvres that knock characters out before reducing character to zero health.

​

BONELESS:*Passive*

2 Points

Prequisite: Cartilaginous Flesh

Who needs a skeleton anyway? The perquisites ensure the thrall is able to maintain structural integrity and lose none of the impact of their offensive abilities.

The thrall isn't -technically- boneless. They just don't have bones made of bone stuff. Instead their bones are rubbery and can be bent in any direction, but never broken. Bone breaking techniques afforded by some disciplines or powers have no effect on the thrall. The bones are sturdy enough to allow a thrall to function normally and provide protection for vital organs as normal, but under extreme stress they bend rather than break. Rather than shatter when punching an immoveable object they will crumple before reforming their shape. This also means they can survive falls of almost any height. Reduce fall damage by a factor of 1000. Throw manoeuvres that would normally injure the character do not.

 

SCALES:

2 points:

The character’s skin is covered with dark, lustrous scales that count as 1 point of armor defence for Brace defence (Stamina + Athletics + Armor def)

Spines do not add damage to the character's own attacks 

​

ABSORPTION: 

8 points 

The Thrall is capable of absorbing inorganic objects into his body, turning his appendages into living tool boxes or causing his body to bristle with an assortment of blades, spikes and cruel hooks.

SYSTEM:

ROLL: STAMINA + ATHLETICS + 3 vs Opponents Attack (The thrall cannot use this ability with Armor unless it is Scales or Shark Hide.)

If successful the following applies.

• Projectiles such as bullets and arrows instead are absorbed and cause no damage.

• The opponent automatically loses their melee weapon for the rest of the scene.(Perhaps permanently is the thrall escapes the combat) 

• The opponent automatically becomes grappled if using a brawl attack and must make a contested strength test vs thrall  to break free or be released when the thrall deems.

NOTE:  This only lasts as long as the thrall is in its infernal form — once the thrall reverts to his mortal form, the objects are expelled.

​

FLESH OF MAGMA:

5 points

The Thrall’s flesh glows orange like molten steel. Anyone who comes in contact with this thralls' flesh suffers one level of lethal damage per successful brawl attack or grapple/grapple progression move.

The thrall -may- turn off their fiery blood, but otherwise it is always -on- note: vampires feeding on the thrall will take aggravated  damage and will require a  Rötschreck roll (Composure + Resolve Difficulty 16+) if the thrall has not turned off their fiery blood.

​

the character's wings become a mere formality; she can move without regard for gravity or momentum, hovering, skimming and gliding with impossible manoeuvres rooted in personal mastery of motion.

(1/3  = 6 foot tall to 2 foot tall )While this size the miniture thrall adds + 2 her defence and her stealth. However she subtracts 2 from strength and attacks.

(May be used in place of a Tentacle clinch move allowing the character to fight on unhindered while their clinched opponent is bitten with the many mouths)

​

SAVAGE GENITALIA

1 Point (Bashing Damage)

2 Points (Lethal Damage)

3 points (Aggravated Damage)

5 points to be able to flip through  full range, selectable upon faith activation.

The Thrall (regardless of gender) can imbue their genitals with some menacing feature. Male variations include excessive length (14"+) or hardness, thorns, sandpaper texture or curved barbs; female versions are infamous for teeth, ripping suction and internal meat grinders. This is obviously no good in combat, but devastating in bed.

Using this Power requires sexual contact; after that the target is at the thralls mercy.

SYSTEM:

SPEND : 1 Faith

No roll required; sexually engaged victims receive one Damage per turn (Type depends on the points spent to purchase the gift) . The "special features" are not usually evident until it's too late, and getting away without permanent damage is difficult--the thrall must often be knocked unconscious, and even that may not be enough. 

Note: with out faith spent, the genitalia is normal. (As this is a form of sexual violence, consent must be sought to cause lethal and aggravated damage in this way)
