Obsessive Urge

Prerequisite: Fright or higher
Type: Complication (Any Action)
The adversary has a way of getting inside the head of its target and compelling them to repeat the same action over and over, whether that action be firing bullets into the same body, reloading the same website for an update that never comes, or uttering the same sentence. The target suffers the Immobilized and Confused status effects simultaneously, with the distinction that they can move and act — but only within the adversary’s prescribed pattern. For all other purposes they’re immobile and addled. The character is compelled to repeat the same action in each subsequent turn until they overcome both status effects.
