Aspects Aspects and and the the Dreamtide Dreamtide Denizens
Denizens
Both Deep Ones and Dreamtide
Nightmares use the three-attribute
system instead of the nine-attribute
system (The Power/Finesse/Resistance
system is detailed in the World of
Darkness Rulebook, page 208). Deep
Ones on occasion have access to
Aspects. When either of these entities
needs to utilize an ability that requires
Essence or Breath, they spend Dread
instead. Aspects that increase one
particular attribute instead increase the
category (a Deep One using Horde of
Knowledge increases Power by the dots
owned, instead of Intelligence by the
points manifest).
One other thing … though Deep Ones
can own Aspects, they are incapable of
turning them on and off. More detail on
this subject will be provided in the first
Appendix.
Experience works practically
identically to the system found in the World
of Darkness Rulebook, pages 216 and 217.
The Oroboroi, just like the mortals they used
to be, learn from mistakes and experiences
and are bettered for it.
Experience is used to increase
attributes, skills, merits, and supernatural
abilities. As storyteller you will award
experience to your players, who spend it to
improve their characters in all sorts of ways.
Though this a character becomes more
talented in her endeavors and is thus
transformed from rookie to veteran.
Awarding Awarding Experience

Experience is given out by the
Storyteller at the end of each session.
Giving low experience will frustrate your
players, but giving copious amounts will
marginalize achievements and cause a
meteoric rise to power. As a general rule,
you should give no fewer than two
experience per character per session, but no
more than seven. If you choose to give
bonus experience to a “most valuable
player” each night, make sure it evens out in
the end. After all, it’s never a good thing to
play favorites with friends.
Sp Spending Sp Spending
ending Experience Experience Points
Each player should keep record the
amount of experience they’ve spent, the
amount they haven’t spent, and the total
amount tendered. Experience can be spent
at the end of each story (not each chapter) or
immediately after a time-slip, but such
expenditures should make logical sense in
the context of the character’s actions. A
police officer that was grilling suspects all
story should not spend experience on
Dexterity, though Presence or Manipulation
would be okay.
Philosophies follow this rule, but
Aspects do not. As an Oroboroi defines
what she believes to be the Dragon
condition, her imagination shapes her
divinities to fit. In order to purchase a new
Aspect, a Dragon need only imagine it and
practice. Existing Aspects are similarly
improved. Getting the idea in the Dragon’s
head, though… that’s where the justification
comes in. Each method provides it own
unique way of discovering new traits, and
researching a new Aspect is good filler for a
time-slip.
The experience cost of almost
everything is a number of points times the
new total, but you knew that already. What
you may not have known is that all dots
