MET LARP SRD

Having taken note of the advances over the past decades in the Thaumaturgical arts, the Giovanni have likewise spent years seeking to expand the powers of Necromancy to embrace modern science and technology. Based on the model of grief studies pioneered by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, The Path of Grief draws on the psyche’s connection to death and uses necromantic energies to bring those emotions to the surface. Just as the departure of a family member can elicit a variety of reactions from sadness to relief to anger, so too can grief serve as a gateway to a variety of complex responses.

Immensely popular with Giovanni advisors and negotiators who use The Path of Grief to their advantage in business and social settings, this path invokes the fear of death in a variety of ways, from mild distress to crushing depression. A person affected by this power finds these feelings to be overwhelming to such an extent that they cannot help but exhibit outward signs. While the character retains their agency with regard to the specifics of their behavior, their motivations become greatly skewed and their resulting actions should adhere to the templates described below.

“Grief is a weapon and a tool. With this act, I am allowing you to decide.” — Jacob Elghinn, clan Giovanni
