Trance of Lives Past
VoidDescrição
Time and death are boundaries that appear impermeable to most. However, some spiritualists and kihō practitioners can press up against these boundaries and bend them, if not break them fully, drawing forth knowledge and memories from lives past. The user can follow the spiritual energy they imprinted upon a person, place, or thing long ago, reconnecting to it and reawakening lost memories of that past existence. This may even cause the personality of the previous life to briefly resurface - for better or for worse, as that entity may have had its own goals and desires unrelated to the present character's, or even opposed to them.
Regras
- Ativação
As a downtime activity, you may make a TN 4 Meditation (Void) check targeting a place, object, or individual one of your past lives. Reduce the TN by 2 if all three of the following are true:
You have one or more items (other than your target) from your past life
You are in a place (other than your target) important to your past life
You have interacted with an individual from your past life (other than the target) within the last 24 hours
- Efeitos
If you succeed, your GM reveals a specific memory you have related to your target. If your GM is unsure what the significance should be, they might ask you to help come up with the specifics of the memory, and then offer modifications to your proposed recollection based on the needs of the story.
Novas oportunidades
- +: Reduce the TN of your next check related to the target by 1.
- : If you fail, you become possessed by your past self until the end of the scene. Use this character’s profile instead of your own (an NPC profile determined by your GM). You control your character’s actions while possessed (though the past life may have different goals and desires, as narratively appropriate), but your character has no memory of the events that transpire during this time.
