Roll Results

Dramatic Failure: The character temporarily sees the subject as one of the character’s greatest fears. She suffers one point of bashing damage.

Failure: The character fails to become her subject’s nightmare.

Success: The changeling, to all observers, takes on the aspect of one of the subject’s great fears. The character cannot see what this is without a reflective surface. The subject of the Contract suffers points of bashing damage out of fear equal to the successes rolled, and may only flee or cower in fear for a like number of turns. He is not denied his Defense. This visage may frighten others as well, but holds no special power over them. (Except that it might, if used with Tale of the Baba Yaga, above.)

Exceptional Success: The subject of this Contract loses a point of Willpower and loses access to his Defense until the end of the next turn.
