Breaking Point rolls are fun though.<br /><br />You might also want to consider adding Risking Willpower, where once per scene they can spend a Willpower in a special way. If they succeed they get it plus one more back, if they fail they get a dramatic failure automatically.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987383774108570495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987461543629921122.post-55591936840799553432017-07-17T12:33:58.203-06:002017-07-17T12:33:58.203-06:00yeah, I've been listening to the Demon's M...yeah, I've been listening to the Demon's Mirror again and am starting to realize that those breaking points resulting in conditions are pretty necessary for a horror-themed campaign.<br /><br />So...Larkins, I may have to re-borrow Chronicles of Darkness.David Schimpffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207702598494587244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987461543629921122.post-53088821329991719402017-07-17T10:57:55.925-06:002017-07-17T10:57:55.925-06:00Ordinarily I'd have to trick people into accid...Ordinarily I'd have to trick people into accidentally enacting a blood ritual. Good work getting everyone to do it themselves!<br /><br />I remember that Chronicles of Darkness have "Conditions" that you can inflict on your players at certain point which are penalties that usually they can clear by voluntarily accepting a failure on a task, which might be an option for when people get shaken.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987383774108570495noreply@blogger.com
