Resistance (Type)
1-point per level Physical Quality
Some people are just innately
better at ignoring the bad things that life throw at them. This
ability allows the character to fend off the effects of a particular
type of harm. Each different Type of Resistance Quality must be
purchased separately. Some examples are presented below, but others
may be devised by Chroniclers and players.
For Resistance (Disease), the
Quality level is added to Constitution when resisting Contagion
Strength. For Resistance (Poison), the Quality level adds to any
Constitution Test required, and decreases the damage caused per Turn
(to a minimum of 1). It could also be viewed as an "iron-clad
stomach," and offers complete protection against eating bad or
"off" food. Resistance (Fatigue) decreases any Endurance
Point loss by its level (to a minimum of 1 per time period involved).
A Resistance Quality directed against pain would decrease the
penalties associated with severe wounds, and add to the Willpower and
Constitution Test necessary to avoid being stunned (see WitchCraft,
p. 149).
Limited Dreamer
1- to 2-point Supernatural Drawback
A character with the Limited
Dreamer Drawback does not have a very fulfilling dream life. She must
make an Intelligence Test Roll to even remember her dreams and that
roll is at a -3. If she does remember her dreams, they are rather
simple. Limited Dreamers never dream in color and the events of the
dream closely resemble the dreamer's real life. She is more likely to
dream about taking a test or standing in line at the DMV than she is
to dream about riding a bright red dragon over a green mountain valley.
If a Limited Dreamer were somehow
forced through a Gateway into one of the Dream Realms, he would
appear as an indistinct black and white version of himself. All his
actions while in the Dream Realms would be at a -3.
The 2-point version of this
Drawback is more severe. The Limited Dreamer never remembers her
dreams and all actions in the Dream Realms are at a -5. Characters
with this level of Limited Dreamer often have the Drawbacks of
Humorless and Talentless as well.
Even though this is a Supernatural
Drawback, it is available to other Characters besides those with the
Gift. In fact, it is most common among the Mundane population.
More information on dreaming may
be found in The Book of Hod, the first Sephiroth sourcebook.
