MET LARP SRD
(2013 BNS MET System)
Carnivorous Roots
The Green Path • Level 5
Mortals forget the destructive power of a tree’s roots until it is too late, unaware as they spread deep underground, wrapping around gas lines, uplifting and cracking cement, and shifting buildings in their wake. The bioarcanists have turned the destructive power of roots to their advantage, imbuing them with the ability to syphon life energies.
Focus
Intelligence
Targets who are Grappled by Boughs Below are considered valid targets for your powers that require you to directly Grapple your target, such as Cauldron of Blood, Withering, or Necrosis. Only disciplines and Thaumaturgy powers may be used in this way; techniques and elder powers cannot. Any activation costs for those powers must be paid separately from those required for Boughs Below. Note: This effect does not allow a subsequent single target power to be used to affect all targets Grappled by Boughs Below ; however, you may choose which target is affected.
Test Pool
Mental attribute + Occult skill versus target’s Physical attribute + Dodge skill
System
Once learned this power is always active. When using Boughs Below, you may target up to 3 individuals, making a separate challenge against each. If you spend a point of Willpower to retest against any of them, you may also retest against any remaining targets who you have not tested against without spending additional Willpower.
In addition, at the end of the turn, if you have a target Grappled by Boughs Below, you may drain her of a single point of Blood which you may then absorb. Traits of Blood absorbed in this way are purified through a complex system of roots and do not convey any harmful effects, such as the blood bond.
