MET LARP SRD

A character with this merit is a member of the Black Hand. Typically, a character begins as an Agent of the Hand. Players do not have to purchase any further merits to advance within this order, but it is recommended that Storytellers limit such advancement as per the bounds of their chronicles’ stories. Each member of the Black Hand is branded with the mark of a black crescent moon on the palm of the right hand. The link is a sympathetic link to the Seraphim, and can be used to call an operative to duty, to warn agents in the field, or to destroy a member of the Black Hand who has been compromised. You have a +3 bonus to resist Telepathy and other powers that directly pull information from your mind. This bonus does not apply to challenges stemming from powers that indirectly pull information from your mind, such as the various powers of Dominate or Presence. You gain the innate status Branded at the start of each game.
