← Derangements
Compulsion
When you encounter your derangement’s trigger, you must perform a predefined action. You find it difficult to take any other action until the Compulsion is fulfilled.
Trigger
A situation, object, or condition you choose at purchase.
System
- When triggered, you suffer a −3 penalty to all attack test pools until you fulfill the Compulsion or until five minutes pass.
- The penalty persists even if the opportunity to fulfill it has passed.
- Defense test pools are not penalized.
Examples
- A difficult question: you ramble in complex mathematical descriptions.
- Small unattended valuables: you pocket them.
- Groups of similar objects (seeds, socks, bricks): you stop and count them.
- Water: when insulted, you want to drown things — preferably the offender, otherwise her prized belongings.
