MET LARP SRD
(2013 BNS MET System)
Mob Rule
Dominate • Level 7
Good help is hard to find, and often that help is easily distracted and turned against you. With your mastery of Dominate, you no longer have to worry. When commanding a group, your allies no longer have to rely just on their own mental faculties to stay on task and follow orders. Instead, your commands create a hive mind allowing the group to resist distractions and enemy orders, and to share Willpower.
Cost
3 Blood
System
Spend 3 points of Blood and a standard action giving an order to a number of willing allies up to your dots in the Leadership skill. The order given must be specific and direct, such as “fan out and find him,” or “protect me at all costs.” Intentionally vague commands such as “resist anyone who tries to influence you” do not work with this power. While this power is in effect each ally affected by Mob Rule gets a +1 wild card bonus per participant in the mob to resist any Mental or Social challenge that would reasonably prevent her from following your order.
In addition, members of your mob gain access to a bonus pool of Willpower equal to your dots in the Leadership skill. Participants may spend from this pool instead of using their own Willpower provided it is in support of the group’s directive. This access to additional Willpower does not add to any test pool. Spending bonus Willpower does not require an action and may take place outside initiative order. In order to benefit from these bonuses a character must be actively following the order you gave.
If a member of the mob deviates from your directive, is incapacitated, or killed, she no longer has the benefits of this power, her Willpower is no longer shareable, and the mob must reduce their wild card bonus by one. If the objective of your order is complete or no longer viable, the benefits of this power end for everyone in the mob.
This power lasts for 1 hour. You may only have a single instance of this power active at a given time. Likewise, a character may only be part of a single mob at a given time. You may not use this power on yourself.
