[edit] Lament
Each Lament has it's own special abilities and drawbacks.
Hue
- Type: Deceased
- Quality: Hues can easily access the dark power of Stains. By spending 2 vitality per Stain they can have them active for a scene.
- Drawback: Hues are dim ghosts, not able to hold as much Vitality as others can. They have a maximum Vitality of 7.
Sleeper
- Type: Living
- Quality: They can shunt Spite points directly to their body as bashing damage.
- Drawback: They do not regain Vitality naturally, they must receive it from other spooks or tap spite for it.
Skimmer
- Type: Living
- Quality: They can move freely from their body to spirit form and they regenerate 1 Vitality every hour while in body.
- Drawback: Instead of taking Vitality damage from attacks they take Bashing damage to their body which cannot heal until they return to it. They lose one Vitality per hour while projecting.
Spirit
- Type: Deceased
- Quality: Begins play with 5 extra merit dots.
- Drawback: Also begins play with a Spectral double intent on materializing as often as it can and messing with the character's life. It gets stronger as Spite increases and if destroyed will reappear.
[edit] Vitality
Record Vitality (5) which can be raised with Merit points at a cost of 2 each.
[edit] Spite versus Morality
Spite is (10 - Morality). Any action that increases your Spite decreases Morality and vice versa. Spite will always be (10 - Morality) and Morality will always be (10 - Spite) in a balancing act.
[edit] Stains
Stains are listed in both the Orpheus corebook and Shades of Grey. As a note, Spectre Thorns are also applicable, with permission to the Storyteller.
