point manifest a +1 bonus to Manipulation is
bestowed, but making use of this within a
scene requires Dread (or Breath). While
Beguiling Mandibles are manifest the Deep
One may release a guttural rumble from his
throat, inflicting bashing wounds (equal to
the points manifest in this Aspect) to the
Willpower of all who can hear it. The first
such rumble is free, but subsequent uses in
the scene require Willpower as payment.
Type: Sequential
Cost: 1 Breath to use the Manipulation for
the scene
1 Willpower to use successive throat
rumbles in the scene
Dice Pool: None
Action: Reflexive (Attributes) or Instant
(Rumble)
While this Aspect is manifest, the Dragon
forms a set of octopus arms in the vicinity of
her upper lip. Males also form two slightly
longer tentacles which are mildly prehensile,
though not enough to be useful. Any
Dragon would have a tough time hiding
these features, especially considering the
change in voice that accompanies them.
Deep Ones that own this aspect always
exhibit this trait.
Tympanic Tympanic Membrane
Membrane
Fish get by on water’s vibrations, but
more perceptive entities need a better sense
of the space that surrounds them. Hearing is
an orbital sensation, unlike sight which is
quite directional. In a place where danger
can originate from any angle, the limited
field of vision is not enough. That’s where
the Tympanic Membrane comes in.
Wide, flexible covers of the opening
of the ear, a pair of tympanic membranes
amplifies sound underwater instead of
drowning it out as mammalian ears do. The
Deep One (or a bargaining Oroboroi) owns a
pair of these amphibian membranes, and the
hearing that comes with it. While most
biologists would argue that there are both
benefits and downsides to a tympanic
membrane, the Deep One experiences only
the positives. A +1 bonus to Wits is granted
for each point manifest in this Aspect, but to
make use of this bonus during a scene Dread
(or Breath) must be spent. While this
Aspect is manifest the Deep One need not
roll while blind to pick the direction of his
attacker. Though he still needs to take an
instant action to listen, no roll is necessary.
It is as if he scores an exceptional success
automatically. For more information on
fighting blind, see the World of Darkness
Rulebook, pages 166 and 167.
Type: Sequential
Cost: 1 Breath to use the Wits for the scene
Dice Pool: None
Action: Reflexive
While this Aspect is manifest, the opening
of the Dragon’s ears widens and is capped
with a thin, circular film. This structure
does not alter the normal shaping of the
outer ear. Deep Ones that own this aspect
always exhibit this trait.
Nightmare Nightmare Gullet
Gullet
Nightmares do have one feature that
is desirable. In fact, it’s practically godly.
They sustain themselves on the thoughts of
others. Though any type of reaction will
suffice, fear is the most potent for the effort
invested. With this Aspect a Deep One (or a
bargaining Oroboroi) too gains the ability to
feed on the emotions of others… specifically
fear.
For Deep Ones, each dot in this
Aspect allows them to harvest Dread at half
value. For Nightmare Gullet 1, where a
Nightmare would garner two Dread the
Deep One would receive one. For
Nightmare Gullet 4, whenever a Nightmare
would garner one Dread the Deep One
would receive two. For the bargainers of the
dark this ability is indispensable.
Oroboroi are further from the
Dreamtide, and so benefit less from this
