types of damage. If they have been bruised,
they risk falling unconscious. If they are
stabbed repeatedly they bleed. If they are
maimed enough, they die. They are no
different than Mortals or Dragons in this
way.

Though Deep Ones may not be able
to feel emotion, they are not stifled in their
capacity to commit to a goal. Willpower is
the greatest difference between a Deep One
and a Nightmare. To find a Deep One’s
Willpower, take Power + Resistance. Deep
Ones may spend and recover Willpower in
the same manner any Oroboroi would.
Initiative is Finesse + Resistance.
Defense is the higher of Power or Finesse.
Speed is Power + Finesse + 5. Size is 5.
Deep Ones can learn and incorporate any
Aspects an Oroboroi can use, as well as a
few exclusive to them and their bargains.
Aspects Aspects
Aspects
The primary feature that makes a
Deep One supernatural is also the main
commonality they share with the Oroboroi:
they have and utilize Aspects. In places
where Furnace is demanded a Deep One
instead uses Cold. Where Breath is required,
Dread is used instead. In situations where
an attribute would be increased, the Deep
One’s equivalent attribute is instead
increased (for example, an increase in
Strength would be applied to the Deep
One’s Power). Deep Ones cannot disband
Aspects; they are always manifested.
Deep Ones may own and use any of
the Aspects presented in Chapter 2. In
addition, there are certain features that are
exclusive to these beings; features an
Oroboroi may only acquire through
bargaining.
Luminescent Luminescent Lure
Lure
The silent dark of the deep ocean is a
hunter’s paradise, trapping the weak in a
velvet net of black. Terrified and helpless
they swim to the light, only to be swallowed
by the monster that uses it as bait. Deep
Ones use this Aspect to repeat this process
on land, and likewise the Oroboroi who
make bargains take advantage.
The Deep One (or a bargaining
Oroboroi) possesses a phosphorescent
angler’s lure and the maneuverability to use
it effectively. The flexibility and speed of
baiting predators fills her body, granting a
+1 bonus to Dexterity and its associated
traits for each point manifest. Making use
of this phenomenal advantage means paying
one Dread (or Breath) per scene. While the
Luminescent Lure is manifest, aggressors
who decide to make targeted attack may
only target the lure (-4 to attack). The
Luminescent Lure dispels a bit of
darkness… just enough to change pitch
darkness (chance die) to substantial darkness
(-3 to act).
Type: Sequential
Cost: 1 Breath to use the Dexterity for the
scene
Dice Pool: None
Action: Reflexive
While this Aspect is manifest, the Dragon
forms a glowing lure originating from the
forehead’s temple and hanging down to the
chin. Impossible to conceal, but that’s the
point. Deep Ones that own this aspect
always exhibit this trait.
Beguiling Beguiling Mandibles
Mandibles
Tentacles provide a flexibility of
weaponry that uniquely allows their owners
to snag and crush prey with ease. Grab,
crush, and scar. Even if the end result is
their own death, the tentacle-bearer teaches
its attacker to think before trying for seconds.
This Aspect transfers that “crush and scar”
ruthlessness to the words of its Deep One
owner.
The Deep One (or a bargaining
Oroboroi)’s voice takes on the rhythm of the
tide, waning loud and soft and gently
mesmerizing those it touches. For each
