Cursed
You suffer from a minor supernatural curse due to your karmic debt to the universe or an enemy with a twisted sense of humor. This curse is specific and detailed; it should relate to some archetypal flaw in your character, such as hubris. Like all flaws, remember that a Storyteller should not allow a curse that does not meaningfully impact your character. A curse must be attached to a skill in which you possess at least 1 dot. When the curse is triggered, you receive a -1 penalty to test pools with that skill. You may purchase this flaw up to three times. Some examples: • A Nosferatu who was a governess in life carries a dying boy’s curse, stating that children younger than 10 can always see through her Obfuscate. While the player will portray this specific effect in her story, she has also associated this curse with her Stealth skill. Further, when in the presence of children younger than 10, her Stealth-based pools are reduced by one. • A Kiasyd has been cursed by tricksy faeries. Milk curdles in his presence, and insects die when they come within three paces of his location. Whenever the Storyteller indicates that that the faeries are actively plaguing him, the Kiasyd’s player must roleplay those effects. He has associated this curse with his Awareness skill, and therefore his Awareness-based pools are reduced by 1 when this occurs. • An archaeologist Lasombra believes that she was cursed for opening an ancient Egyptian tomb. The curse states that the Lasombra will “suffer a twisted tongue when she most needs clarity.” The Lasombra’s player has associated this curse with her Linguistics skill. Whenever she is attempting to translate one language into another, she roleplays her uncertainty and grammatical mistakes. Further, all pools based on her Linguistics skill are reduced by 1 when she is under pressure.
