MET LARP SRD
(2013 BNS MET System)
Broken Heart
Description
Some believe death is all violence and blood and fire, but it is so much more than that. It is the creeping dread of mortality; a reminder that nothing lasts forever. That is the death you reserve for your true enemies — the kind of death that slowly suffocates them and drags them into oblivion.
1 Blood
System
To enact this ritual, you must obtain an item belonging to your intended victim. This item must be of some significance to the victim — a picture of a deceased loved one, a well-loved stuffed animal from childhood, or a family relic carried from her homeland. Alternately, you may utilize a point of the intended victim’s vitae. The item or vitae must be burned on a bonfire made of weeping willow branches, yew tree, and morning glory petals that have been soaked in 1 point of your Blood. Upon completion of the ritual, initiate an opposed challenge with your target, who must be within 10 miles of your location.
A human affected by the Broken Heart is cursed. Within 48 hours, any naturally occurring event or interaction that causes the victim excessive excitement, sorrow, or joy, will also trigger her immediate death. Although a victim may be revived if medical services are swift, she will be trapped in a coma and will only regain consciousness if she ingests 1 trait of vitae. Only supernatural investigation will offer evidence of the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
If the target is a supernatural creature or awakened mortal, she finds herself filled with sorrow and longing for things lost, and immediately loses all Social focuses until the following sunrise. Any attempt to gain a Social focus fails immediately unless the victim spends 1 point of Willpower to temporarily ignore the effects of the curse. Although the vampire cannot identify who attacked her, she knows without a doubt that someone or something has supernaturally affected her.
