Prerequisite: Wyrd ••+
Effect: Your character has especially close ties to humanity’s collective unconscious. When your character sleeps, his dreams can gather any knowledge known to a living human and allow him to make use of it when he awakes. This Merit allows your character to temporarily gain one dot in any Ability Specialty or one dot in any Language that is known to at least one living mortal. Knowledge of this Ability Specialty or Language persists until your character next sleeps and can be used just as any other Specialty or Language. If your character learns a Specialty such as Heavy Weapons or Pilot, where characters without the Specialty suffer special penalties when trying to perform certain actions, this Specialty acts as a normal Specialty and negates these penalties and also provides one additional dot for appropriate rolls.
Having a dream to learn such a Specialty requires your character to make a meditation (Composure + Wits) roll immediately before he goes to sleep. Your character must then sleep for at least five hours to gain a Specialty or Language in this fashion. Characters may not use this Merit more than once per day.
Dramatic Failure: Your character’s dreams bring him false and useless information, and for the next day, he suffers an additional –1 to any rolls with the chosen Ability.
Failure: Your character fails to learn the desired knowledge.
Success: Your character gains the desired Specialty or one dot in the desired Language.
Exceptional Success: Your character’s dreams are exceptionally vivid and useful. If a Language is selected, he gains two dots in the Language until he sleeps again.
