surprised when the defensive measures she<br />

laid in place fail.<br />

Success: Any who touch the cursed object<br />

(or are touched by the cursed object) suffer a<br />

number of resistant aggravated wounds<br />

equal to the sum of the <strong>Dragon</strong>’s Furnace<br />

and Greed proficiency. In addition, they<br />

lose a single point of Willpower. Provided<br />

they survive, thereafter they are immune to<br />

the curse. Should they perish by aggravated<br />

damage, their body becomes a Graft with<br />

value equal to the overflow aggravated<br />

damage.<br />

Exceptional Success: In addition to success,<br />

the <strong>Dragon</strong> saves one point of Breath.<br />

Lust<br />

Lust<br />

<strong>The</strong> Philosophy of Lust is founded<br />

on mitigating pain and its associated<br />

penalties<br />

Force: Pain<br />

Yin: Sweat<br />

Karmic Backlash: Compulsion.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lust <strong>Dragon</strong> is overwhelmed by her<br />

own urges, and must act out her vice within<br />

the specified amount of time or instantly<br />

lose the specified amount of Willpower.<br />

Both are dependent on the level that failed.<br />

Feel Feel the the Hurt Hurt ( (●) (<br />

Free Free Free Grafts? Grafts?<br />

Grafts?<br />

It seems like playing a Greed <strong>Dragon</strong> is a<br />

fast and easy way to get all the Grafts<br />

you could want, and to a degree that is<br />

true. However, each Graft requires<br />

dedication, and the Merit reflects this as<br />

much as it does the actual possession.<br />

While you can use the final Greed<br />

Philosophy to justify the purchase of a<br />

Graft, you must still part with the<br />

experience to own one.<br />

At this level of Philosophy the<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong> becomes aware of the target's Health<br />

stat, knowing both how much they have<br />

suffered and the type of suffering they have<br />

endured. <strong>The</strong> player is informed by the<br />

storyteller how much aggravated, lethal, and<br />

bashing damage the target is suffering, and<br />

which of it if any is resistant.<br />

While touching the subject, the Lust<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong> pumps a narcotic euphoria into him.<br />

<strong>The</strong> subject’s Speed and Initiative Mod are<br />

increased by her proficiency in the<br />

Philosophy, and he likely becomes addicted<br />

to her touch. This effect lasts for the scene.<br />

Cost: None<br />

Dice Pool: Manipulation + Expression +<br />

Furnace + Lust – Stamina - Furnace<br />

Action: Instant<br />

Roll Results<br />

Dramatic Failure: <strong>The</strong> Lust <strong>Dragon</strong> is<br />

dragged to compulsion, and must act out her<br />

vice within seven turns or lose a point of<br />

Willpower. If she cannot pay this price, she<br />

suffers a resistant lethal wound instead.<br />

Failure: <strong>The</strong> Lust <strong>Dragon</strong> does not learn of<br />

the subject’s pain, and his euphoria from her<br />

touch is fleeting. No benefit for either party<br />

is experienced, and she must succeed before<br />

she can move on to higher levels of Lust.<br />

Success: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Dragon</strong> learns where the<br />

subject may be suffering pain, and gifts him<br />

an ecstasy trip that pumps both his Speed<br />

and Initiative Mod by her Lust proficiency.<br />

Exceptional Success: In addition to success,<br />

the Subject receives an additional +1 to both<br />

his Speed and his Initiative Mod.<br />

Thin Thin Thin the the Hurt Hurt Hurt ( (●●) (<br />

Using the garnered knowledge of a<br />

person's condition, the <strong>Dragon</strong> eases focused<br />

pain by spreading it evenly across the body.<br />

A situational penalty assigned to a particular<br />

region of the body (like a hand) could be<br />

spread out over the entire body, reducing it<br />

by the <strong>Dragon</strong>’s Lust proficiency but<br />

making it a Health penalty.<br />

By spending a point of Willpower<br />

and rolling Thin the Hurt, the Lust <strong>Dragon</strong><br />

can help her subject overcome a focused
