| + | :''Effect'': Select one Buff Tag that this modifies. That tag must involve some kind of skill check, save, or similar. If the character fails the check by 6 or more, or rolls a natural 1, then something bad happens to them. The GM declares how many points this attribute is worth, based on the severity of the bad stuff. | ||

| + | === Bane === | ||
| + | |||
| + | :''Gain'': 2 Character Points | ||
| + | :''Effect'': A specific thing that would normally not harm a human harms the character significantly - a fire elemental might suffer this if exposed to water, while a traditional Vampire suffers this from sunlight ''and'' crucifixes. The default source should be common and nontrivial to avoid for the subject. This attribute is good for representing severe allergies. | ||
| + | :When the bane object touches the character, they take 1d6 points of damage. If the touch need be only indirect (sunlight or a noise, for example), the bane only deals 1d3 points of damage instead. If the source is less common (such as a holy symbol, Buddhist scripture, or rare element), then the damage is doubled - if extremely rare (such as a specific Artifact), it is tripled or quadrupled. | ||
| + | :''Modifiers'': | ||
| + | * (-2 points) The bane must be INGESTED to deal damage. | ||
| + | * (2 points) Increase the damage die one size. | ||
| + | * (4 points) Add one damage die of the relevant size. | ||
| + | * (0 points) The bane need not directly touch the subject - it deals two die-sizes less damage, but takes effect upon mere presence. (Sunlight, hearing a specific noise, or sanctified ground are good examples of triggers for this.) Continued presence of the band deals the same damage per round. | ||
| + | * (-1 points) The bane is indirect, but deals full damage on initial exposure and no persistent damage. | ||
| + | * (Variable) The bane has other effects on the victim besides damage. GM's fiat. | ||

:''Effect'': Select one Buff Tag that this modifies. A character with this Defect cannot use the selected tag whenever desired because it requires a short time to activate. Once activation has started, only the character can stop it from becoming active when the appropriate time is up. This could represent a physical change that is not instantaneous, the collection of spiritual energies to perform a task, a device that takes time to “power up,” or an Attribute that only works when the character is mentally prepared. | :''Effect'': Select one Buff Tag that this modifies.
