Incite Katharos
A favorite of the manipulators of the faction known as The Mercy Seat, this Investment allows Forsworn of a certain moral turpitude to project desire and weakness into the spirit of another. And when the subject at last gives in to his artificial failings, he grows that much more powerless against the Forsworn.
Effect
Dramatic Failure: The spent Willpower is wasted, and the Forsworn cannot regain Willpower for the remainder of the scene.
Failure: The vampire fails to acquire more successes than the subject, and the spent Willpower is wasted with no effect.
Success: The subject adopts a Vice of the vampire’s choosing for the duration of the effect. The affected subject immediately feels an urge to act on his new impulses; each time a situation arises that calls out for the subject’s new Vice to fulfill itself, the subject must roll Resolve + Composure to resist giving in. If the subject fails so much as a single one of these rolls during the duration of the power’s effect, he immediately indulges in the incited Vice to the best of his ability. For the subject, the upside is that if his indulgence fulfills the terms for regaining Willpower under the description of the incited Vice, the subject does regain Willpower as though the Vice were his own. The downside is that giving in puts the subject even further under the vampire’s sway, granting the vampire a +2 to all actions and dice pools involving the subject until daybreak.
Exceptional Success: In addition to the above, the vampire also regains one of his own spent Willpower points whenever the victim of the power regains Willpower for fulfilling the incited Vice.
