MET LARP SRD

Whenever you are unconscious due to sleep or torpor, or your consciousness is separated from your body due to Possession, Psychic Projection, or similar powers, you may allow your shadow to take control of your physical body. This is an exception to the rules limiting which powers can be used while in torpor or during Possession and Psychic Projection. By spending 2 points of Blood to activate this power, your consciousness will remain separated or dormant, but your body will be fully animate under the control of your shadow; however, because you consciousness remains separated or dormant, you are unable to directly observe the actions of your body unless you have at least one dot in the Awareness skill. To all onlookers, your body will appear to immediately wake and will be able to act at the beginning of the next turn. While this power is active, your eyes become dark pools of shadow, fully black, and somewhat disconcerting to behold.

Your Storyteller will control your shadow while it is active. Your shadow shares some of your motivations but will act on its own. It will defend your physical body if threatened and will feed if your body is low on blood. However, it will not risk itself for your allies nor will it place itself in danger for your cause. Instead, your shadow will seek to preserve its own life and kill anything that threatens it. Your shadow will avoid lengthy conversation, but when it speaks its voice sounds hollow and otherworldly. It may act in ways that you find reprehensible to achieve its ends, although it does not indulge in chaos for chaos' sake. Once you regain consciousness you will remember what your shadow did, and you gain up to 5 Beast traits for its actions as if you had committed them yourself. Any modifiers such as those from paths still apply, and you may attempt a degeneration challenge to reduce 1 of the points. Your shadow can spend your Blood and Willpower and can use your powers and test pools. If you activate this power when you are in torpor due to damage suffered, your shadow will awaken your body with a number of health levels equal to the number of levels you have in Obtenebration. Once activated, this power lasts for 1 hour, or until the effect that keeps your consciousness separated from your body ends.
