• Geek Trick
The classic sideshow geek’s spectacle involves doing something painful, disgusting or otherwise personally discomfiting — driving a nail into one’s face, swallowing billiard balls and vomiting them back up, chewing glass. Freaks who master this basic level of The Show have no problem subjecting themselves to the indignities or pain such Geek Tricks can involve.
Effect
For each success on the invocation roll, the character can spend a single turn ignoring any pain that affects him (effectively negating wound penalties or penalties associated with damage, such as those that might affect Crúac or Theban Sorcery rituals). This Discipline doesn’t affect the actual occurrence of the injury at all — wounds still open or the nail remains embedded in the Freak’s face. Naturally, Geek Trick doesn’t actually heal wounds or affect dice-pool penalties after its duration, though the Freak may choose to invoke the power again.
