MET LARP SRD
(2013 BNS MET System)
Restructure
Dementation • Level 6
Much of a person’s identity is a product of their nature; a set of defining characteristics and principles that influence her decisions. While some view nature as immutable, you have the power to fundamentally redesign a person’s core personality. You can remove or change not only your subject’s Archetype but the very foundations of what makes her who she is. For some this is a boon, giving them the ability to live a night as someone new. Your victims, however, are condemned to an evening of languor and apathy as they no longer understand their purpose in the world, nor do they have the desire to find one.
Cost
2 Blood
System
Spend 2 points of Blood and 3 standard actions to use Restructure. If the target is unwilling, you must win an opposed challenge. If you succeed, you may affect her with this power. If your target has an Archetype, you may immediately change her Archetype and any of her focuses to other focuses in the same category. These changes last for the remainder of the night. You may only affect a character’s base permanent Archetype and focuses; bonus focuses or a bonus Archetype, such as from the merit Versatile or the Dominate power Fealty cannot be changed. Willing participants affected by this power may spend a point of Willpower to make the change permanent. Characters affected by this power feel as if their motivations and purpose have been realigned. This may be a relief for some, or disconcerting for others.
If your target is a Stock NPC, you may grant her an Archetype and the benefits that come with it, including an Archetype retest. Stock NPCs affected by this power feel a surge of inspiration and direction, as if they have been given a new purpose.
Alternatively, you may use this power to strip your opponent of her identity leaving her directionless, dispassionate, and overwhelmed by an identity crisis. Using Restructure in this way causes your target to lose access to her Archetype (if she has one) as well as any focuses. A use of Restructure in this way lasts for the next hour. Removing a character’s Archetype in this way affects only her permanent Archetype and focuses, and not those obtained from bonuses. However, this use does affect permanent focuses obtained from merits such as Versatile or Expanded Consciousness.
Exceptional Success
If you have chosen to strip your target of her identity, she loses her Archetype and focuses for the remainder of the night.
