Dragon: The Embers Core Book - MrGone's Character Sheets

efore she can move on to the final level of
Sweat.
Success: Successes rolled on activation
form a free pool of penalties, which the
Dragon may levy against her target until the
end of the scene. Like all free pools, once
these penalties are used they’re gone. The
setback of this limit is counterbalanced by
the flexibility it provides: these penalties
may be applied to any action the target
makes. This free pool expires at the end of
the scene.
Exceptional Success: Same as Success, but
the Breath is not spent.
Lock Lock the the Pain Pain ( (●●●●●) (
After controlling the adrenaline, the
Sweat Dragon may choose to make
particular injuries more severe. The
wounds do not appear to change, but are
healed at a slower rate and are immune to
supernatural intervention.
The Dragon renders a number of the
target’s wounds (her choice) resistant.
Resistant wounds are explained in Chapter 3,
on page XX. The wounds remain resistant
until they have healed. It is important to
note that this Philosophy only works on
existing wounds. If the target is currently
devoid of wounds, he suffers a single point
of resistant lethal damage.
Lock the Pain is an instant action,
but not every Dragon is capable of spending
3 Breath in a single turn. For those that are
not, they may drag out the activation over up
to three turns by sacrificing their Defense,
until they can pay the full price. In such
cases the roll to activate is made on the turn
in which the total Breath owed is paid.
Cost: 3 Breath, or 1 Breath over three turns
Dice Pool: Intelligence + Survival +
Furnace + Sweat – Stamina - Furnace
Action: Instant
Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: If the subject is currently
suffering any resistant wounds, they change
back into normal wounds. The subject also
instantly recovers from one lethal wound.
The Sweat Philosophy must be started over.
Failure: No wounds are made resistant.
The Dragon must start over.
Success: A number of the target’s current
wounds become resistant, equal to the
Dragon’s proficiency in Sweat. If there are
no current wounds, one resistant lethal one
is inflicted. This is a lasting effect.
Exceptional Success: Identical to success,
but an extra resistant lethal wound is
inflicted regardless of the target’s current
state. Also, the target suffers Trauma 5 until
such time as he no longer suffers from lethal
wounds.
Tears Tears
Tears
The Philosophy of Tears focuses on
controlling the chains and grooves that
connect emotion and memory.
Force: Mind
Yang: Sloth
Identify Identify the the Chains Chains ( (●) (
The Dragon knows the connections
between emotion and memory, and can
identify those connections in another person.
By studying her mark the Dragon becomes
aware of several memory-emotion pairings,
often called chains. Having knowledge of
these chains is essential to proceed with the
Tears Philosophy.
The Dragon becomes aware of a
number of chains in the target’s mind equal
to her proficiency in the Tears Philosophy.
Each chain has both a memory component
and an emotion component, though the
emotions can sometimes be more complex
than ‘sad’ or ‘angry’. The Tears Dragon can
also detect suppressed memories, but the
chains binding them are locked and
impossible to manipulate. The Dragon must
touch the target to activate this Philosophy.
In addition, the successes rolled on
Identify the Chains form a pool of free dice
