Remnant of Clarity
(• to •••)
Effect: The character has one year in his Requiem that he remembers with perfect clarity. He may look back over that year in his mind and recall moments with alarming ease. The reason for this may be unclear to the character, or it may be that something happened during that year to focus the character’s mind (performed Diablerie, Embraced another, awoke from Torpor, or some other Requiem-changing event). The result is that when attempting to remember any event or element of that year, the character gains a number of bonus dice to that roll equal to the dots spent in this Merit. (See “Memorizing and Remembering,” p. 44, World of Darkness Rulebook.) The player can also add this Merit, in the form of bonus dice, to the character’s attempt to resist Optional Rule: Indoctrination upon awakening, if the brainwasher is attempting to alter beliefs or memories relevant to that year. A player can purchase this Merit a number of times for her character, with each instance representing one year. Those years needn’t be consecutive.
