MET LARP SRD

You may instead have a number of active offers equal to your dots in Occult plus one. Any additional offers require you to choose an active offer to end. When using Compelling Offer, you may make the same offer to multiple parties at once, provided you have each target’s Gaze and Focus and can communicate with them. These targets count individually toward your maximum number of active offers.

Example: In the early evening, Mariella arrives in a small town that a roving group of Anarchs is occupying. Their presence is making work difficult at the local quarry that provides materials to a variety of her construction projects. She wants to convince them to leave.

She finds the bar where the Baron spends her time. Outside, she sees a pair of rough looking thugs. She chats them up and decides to offer them a deal: they should leave the gang and come and work for her. She uses Compelling Offer and has the Charisma focus, allowing her to affect both thugs. The two say they will think it over. She enters the bar and engages in negotiations with the Baron. Mariella offers her $50,000 if she and her gang will leave town that night and uses Compelling Offer once again. She tells the Baron if she does not accept, her next offer won’t be so nice. The Baron is angered and spends 2 points of Willpower to reject the offer. She stands and yells for her thugs to grab Mariella. The thugs enter; however, they cannot attack Mariella as her earlier offer lingers in their minds. The Baron is incensed but does not want to fight Mariella one on one. Mariella smiles and tells the thugs to leave. To the Baron’s surprise, they oblige.

This power allows you to make an offer which weighs on your target’s mind until she makes a decision. Spend 1 point of Blood and three or more standard actions as you make an offer to your target. You must have your target’s Gaze and Focus to use this power, and you must be able to communicate with her (telepathically is fine). Thereafter, the choice presented lingers in the target's mind, always at the edge of her thinking.

Once the offer is made and until your target makes her choice, she may not take any antagonistic action toward you, which includes targeting you with hostile powers or attacking you. She may, however, seek to negotiate. You may act against her normally during this time, and she must continue to consider the offer. If you withdraw the offer by spending a simple action, this power’s effects end.

The target may exercise one of the following options at any time:

Offers may not be designed to be life threatening to your target. You are free to describe an offer in shorter or longer terms, making an offer that either ends sooner than the end of the night, or a more open offer that would seemingly last beyond the current night. However, when the offer expires or the night ends (whichever is first), the effects of this power fade.

A target may only be affected by a single use of this power per night. Any additional use of this power from you or from anyone else upon the same target will fail. You may not use this power on friendly targets purely with the intent of triggering this limitation; the Storyteller may intervene in instances where she believes this is the case.

You may only have a single active offer at a given time. Any additional offers end the effects of the current one. This power does not work if the offer is farcical or clearly intended to insult or ridicule, the determination of which is subject to the Storyteller’s discretion. This includes offers involving vulgarity or demeaning acts.
