MET LARP SRD

(2013 BNS MET System)

Sin Collector

Level 2
Abyssal

Description

There are those that argue that sin is necessary in this world, for without the capacity to sin all acts of virtue are meaningless. Sinners, therefore, do the world a service as they allow the virtuous to shine. Whether or not you believe that to be true, sinners serve you in a different capacity. So long as they act freely, you can draw power from their ignoble actions, turning it into useful sustenance.

Cost:

1 Blood

System

To cast this ritual, you must recite a prayer to an icon of a virtuous figure, then smash and discard it in a body of water as you spend one Blood point. For the remainder of the night, whenever you are in the presence of someone who commits a sin that requires them to willingly gain a Beast trait based on their morality (i.e., Humanity or their chosen path), this ritual transmutes their energies and fills you with sustenance. In the case of non-vampires, you may benefit when they commit an action which would incur a Beast trait in an ordinary vampire (one not on a Path). If this condition is met, you may choose to instantly regain up to 1 point of spent Blood and recover up to 1 point of spent Willpower. You may gain this benefit even if the Beast traits would be applied later, such as during combat. After you have regained 5 points of Blood and Willpower in this way, this ritual ends. You cannot gain more Blood or Willpower than that allowed by your maximum pool.

Alternatively, whenever a vampire in your line of sight loses a point of their morality or a mortal in your line of sight commits an action that would cause an ordinary human to lose a point of Humanity, you may instantly gain 5 points of spent Blood and fully replenish your spent Willpower. If this occurs, the ritual immediately ends.

Individuals must be acting of their own free will to trigger this power. They cannot be supernaturally coerced, though they may be coerced through threats or intimidation. Any instances must also be legitimate and deliberate acts of sin; your allies cannot kick a puppy or scandalize a nun to knowingly grant you power. The Storyteller shall be the final arbiter of what is acceptable.
