NIGHTMARE MANIFEST

Cost: Spend 1 Legend
Duration: Condition
Subject: One character
Range: Short
Action: Simple
Your power turns dreams against dreamers, making their nightmares come to life. The target suffers the Living Nightmare Condition, which causes an intangible nightmare to appear within short range of the target, and they suffer a +3 Complication to all rolls from the distraction. Failure to buy off this Complication results in the Living Nightmare moving one range band towards the target. If it enters into close range, it will attack them using your Occult + Presence against the target’s Defense. Success inflicts an Injury Condition that manifests as white hair or internal injury without cause.

The Living Nightmare is intangible and imperceptible to all but you and the target and appears as her worst fear from her nightmares, which may serve as a Clue in Procedural scenes. To resolve the Condition, the target must enter into close range and take a simple action to make an opposed Integrity + Cunning roll against your Occult + Presence. Success overcomes the nightmare with sheer will and disperses it for the scene. Otherwise, the Condition fades at the end of
the scene.

  • Adversary Specific: I Am Your Nightmare: The living nightmare appears as a duplicate of you. You may speak through it to intimidate your enemy, gaining +2 Enhancement to influence rolls against your target. This speech is not perceptible to anyone but you and your target.
