MET LARP SRD

While the landscape of the Abyss is vast and empty, it remains full of despair, peril, and madness. It is home to many things that have been misplaced, including sunken hopes, abandoned dreams, and lost minds. Through your extensive travels, you have entered into a state of communion with the Abyss that allows you to wield its madness against your foes. By making an offering of supplication, you can receive its blessing.

To cast this ritual, you must spend 1 point of Blood and journey to a dark and secret portion of the Abyss where you must present an offering to an ancient and unspeakable horror. This journey does not come without cost – you gain the Nightmares Flaw for the next 30 days.

Once the ritual is complete, for the next 30 days, whenever someone initiates combat by attacking you, she is assailed by premonitions of foreboding madness and dread. She does not gain the benefit of a surprise action and instead must begin combat and attack normally on her initiative. 

In addition, for 30 days following the casting of this ritual, when you activate Black Metamorphosis or Tenebrous Form your appearance is a nightmarish amalgam of forgotten creatures, indescribable and madness-inducing. Whenever someone targets you with a power that requires your Gaze and Focus, resolve the power normally; however, once the challenge is resolved your attacker is struck blind as if she was affected by the Blinding Attack combat maneuver. This blindness grants her no escape as your horrifying image will remain seared in her mind. In addition, as long as she remains in your line-of-sight you gain and retain her Gaze and Focus even though she cannot see you.
