Willpower

Recovering will power:

• At the beginning of a session, a character can remove an amount of Superficial damage up to their Composure or Resolve (use highest) from their Willpower track. Exception: a session that ends on a cliffhanger in which dwindling Willpower levels provide tension. In such cases, the characters retain whatever Willpower they were left with after last session.
  
  
• At the Storyteller’s discretion, once per session, a character who definitively acts to further their Desire (p. 174) may immediately recover 1 point of Superficial Willpower damage.
  
  
• At the Storyteller’s discretion, a character who plays out a messy critical (p. 207), a bestial failure(p. 207), a frenzy (p. 219), or

  a Compulsion (p. 208) in a sufficiently dramatic way can recover one or more Superficial Willpower damage as they briefly satiate the Beast. 

  
  

  Characters can recover Aggravated damage to Willpower in the following ways:
  

  • At the Storyteller’s discretion, a character can recover one or more points of Aggravated Willpower damage when acting to significantly benefit

    a Touchstone or uphold a Conviction against their own best interest.

  • At the end of a session in which the character has actively worked toward their Ambition, they recover one point of Aggravated Willpower damage.
