Cost: 1 Breath to apply<br />

Dice Pool: Resolve + Medicine + Furnace +<br />

Bone – Composure - Furnace<br />

Action: Instant<br />

Roll Results<br />

Dramatic Failure: Whoops! <strong>The</strong> subject<br />

feels sickly, and suffers four points of<br />

bashing damage sporadically during the<br />

course of the remainder of the scene. <strong>The</strong><br />

Bone Philosophy must be started again from<br />

scratch.<br />

Failure: No regeneration is supplied, and<br />

the Bone <strong>Dragon</strong> cannot continue her<br />

Philosophy until she succeeds at this level.<br />

Success: <strong>The</strong> subject’s regeneration is<br />

improved until the end of the scene. On top<br />

of his normal healing rates, he recovers one<br />

bashing wound every turn and one lethal<br />

turn every two turns. It is possible to heal<br />

both a bashing and a lethal wound on the<br />

same turn.<br />

Exceptional Success: Same as Success, but<br />

the Breath is not spent.<br />

Overcharge Overcharge the the the <strong>Core</strong> <strong>Core</strong> ( (●●●●●) (<br />

<strong>The</strong> last stand, Overcharge the <strong>Core</strong><br />

fortifies the subject’s body against future<br />

injury. By spending two Breath, rolling it,<br />

and succeeding, she can both increase the<br />

subject’s Health dots and his Defense.<br />

Overcharge the <strong>Core</strong> lasts for the<br />

entirety of the scene in which it is activated,<br />

but it may be extended into subsequent<br />

scenes by spending a point of Breath.<br />

Overcharge the <strong>Core</strong> cannot be extended<br />

longer than one day in this fashion.<br />

Overcharge the <strong>Core</strong> is an instant<br />

action, but not every <strong>Dragon</strong> is capable of<br />

spending 2 Breath in a single turn. For those<br />

that are not, they may drag out the activation<br />

over two turns by sacrificing their Defense,<br />

until they can pay the full price. In such<br />

cases the roll to activate is made on the turn<br />

in which the total Breath owed is paid.<br />

Cost: 2 Breath, or 1 Breath over two turns<br />

(to apply)<br />

1 Breath to extend by one scene<br />

Dice Pool: Wits + Medicine + Furnace +<br />

Bone – Composure - Furnace<br />

Action: Instant<br />

Roll Results<br />

Dramatic Failure: <strong>The</strong> subject’s muscles<br />

lock instead of loosen, and he suffers a -5<br />

penalty to Defense until the end of the scene.<br />

He does not gain any bonus health levels.<br />

Failure: <strong>The</strong> Bone <strong>Dragon</strong> fails to<br />

overcharge the subject’s core. <strong>The</strong><br />

Philosophy sequence is broken with no<br />

benefit, and she must start from scratch<br />

before she may try again.<br />

Success: Each success scored on activation<br />

grants the subject an additional temporary<br />

Health dot (Which follows the rules<br />

regarding temporary health, in the World of<br />

Darkness Rulebook sidebar “Temporary<br />

Health Dots” on page 173). For every two<br />

successes, the subject receives a +1 bonus to<br />

his Defense. Both bonuses last until the end<br />

of the scene, or until the end of the last<br />

scene the <strong>Dragon</strong> pays for. This effect<br />

cannot be extended further than one day.<br />

Exceptional Success: Identical to success,<br />

but the bonus lasts an extra scene.<br />

Sweat Sweat<br />

Sweat<br />

<strong>The</strong> Philosophy of focuses on<br />

mitigating or intensifying pain and its<br />

associated penalties. Scholars of Sweat feel<br />

that pain affirms life, but they always find a<br />

way to make other suffer more than they do.<br />

Force: Pain<br />

Yang: Lust<br />

Find Find Find the the Pain Pain Pain ( (●) (<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Dragon</strong> gains an understanding<br />

of what it means to feel pain, and can<br />

successfully detect the level of pain those<br />

near to her suffer. Pain can be difficult to<br />

detect, as the sturdy and the socially<br />

infallible find clever ways to hide it. But<br />

with enough effort, it can be found. At this<br />

level of Philosophy the dragon becomes
