The more you take, the more you need
The more you suck, the more you bleed
The dead know better, so listen to the letter
The more you suck, the more you bleed
Abilities
Numina
Dement - Numen
The entity may torture its victim’s mind via psychic assault. This Numen costs one Essence. The activation roll is contested by the victim’s Intelligence + Gnosis. If the entity succeeds, the victim suffers the Insane Tilt (p. 322) for the rest of the scene.
Drain - Numen
The entity can steal Essence or Willpower (chosen at activation) from a material being. The activation roll is contested by Stamina + Resolve + Gnosis. Whichever character — entity or target — gains the most successes receives points of Willpower or Essence equal to the number of successes, while the other party loses the same number.
Mortal Mask - Numen
This Numen disguises a Materialized entity as a human and can be used at the same time as the Materialize Manifestation Effect. Using the Numen costs one point of Essence and the human seeming lasts for activation successes in hours. The human “costume” is flawed — witnesses may make a Wits + Composure – Finesse roll to realize that something is wrong. Characters able to sense the entity in Twilight do not suffer a penalty to the roll.
Rapture - Numen
The spirit forces a response from the pleasure centers of a living being’s brain, granting ecstatic visions, a feeling of communion with the universe, and sensations of bliss. The Numen costs 2 Essence to activate. If successful, the victim suffers the Stunned Tilt (p. 313). If the victim fails a Resolve + Primal Urge roll, she gains a temporary Condition for the spirit’s Power in days, in a form that binds her closer to the spirit’s wishes. Uratha do not add Primal Urge to their resis- tance roll against this Numen if it is used by a Lune.
Speed - Numen
The entity accelerates into a blur of movement. The entity chooses whether to spend two or four points of Essence when activating this Numen. Spending two Essence doubles its Speed for the remainder of the scene, while spending four Essence triples it.
