MET LARP SRD

In Greek mythology, the healer Asclepius gained extraordinary abilities when serpents licked his ears clean and whispered secrets of healing, wisdom, and immortality. The serpents remained with him, coiled upon his rod, and continued to provide him guidance and counsel. Similarly, you have the power to help others realize their latent potential should they heed your advice.

After spending at least 5 minutes listening to your target’s goals and aspirations, you may spend 1 point of Blood and 3 consecutive standard actions giving your target advice. If your target is willing, she feels inspired and may gain up to 3 attribute dots that she may apply to one or more categories in which she has fewer than 10 dots. You may not raise a category beyond 10 dots in this way. Using this power on a Stock NPC raises that NPC’s level by 1, up to a maximum of level 5. Characters who have already purchased the maximum number of attribute dots or who are Stock 5 NPCs receive no bonus from this power.

The effects of this power last for up to 7 days, as decided by you at the time of the power’s activation, after which the benefits fade. You may declare the duration of the power to the Storyteller so that your target will not know; however, your target will know once the power ends. When the power ends, the loss of the benefits feels natural to your target, albeit frustrating. Your target will intuitively feel as if she would benefit from your advice again, whether or not it actually helped her own goals, and is very likely to seek you out.

As you activate this power, you may make a “recommendation” to the target such as “make 10 sales calls next week,” or “break up with your partner,” and choose an additional duration of up to another 7 days. Subject to the Storyteller’s approval, if your target performs your “recommendation” the duration of the power extends by the chosen number of days. A character may only benefit from a single application of this power, with recent applications replacing earlier ones. You may have a number of applications of this power active equal to your dots in the Subterfuge skill, with recent applications replacing older ones. You may not use this power on yourself.
