MET LARP SRD

The fear of death is an ancient terror, a cold, dark dart that strikes to the very core of an individual’s being. By preying on this fear, the necromancer can forbid her target from engaging in one activity, causing her victim’s psyche to liken such an action to suicide.

The necromancer must target a victim who is currently within a one-mile radius of the casting of this ritual. Further, she must have either a lock of her victim’s hair, a pinch of flesh (or ash, in the case of a vampire) that was once part of the victim’s body, or a point of the victim’s Blood. Using the Necromancy test pool make an opposed challenge against your target. If you succeed, then you can name one limited, non-combat activity, such as “painting,” “speaking to Prince Elliot,” or “attending a Toreador clan meeting.” Until the next sunset, the target associates that activity with death. She is convinced that if she participates in that activity, she will die — and she is not entirely incorrect. If the individual willingly undertakes that activity, she takes 3 points of aggravated damage, which cannot be reduced or negated.

No power can remove – or cause the target to forget – the ingrained fear of Weight of the Tomb, and asking an individual affected by this power to perform the activity (through Dominate or other such powers) is considered to be directly self-destructive. You can only cast Weight of the Tomb once within a lunar cycle, once per month, and no target can be affected by more than one Weight of the Tomb at a time. If a second application targets a character before the first fades, the new application removes the old.
