Ghoul Merits
These Merits and Flaws may only be taken by ghoul characters. If the character is Embraced, these Merits and Flaws must be immediately replaced by other Flaws and Merits.
Blood Empathy (●●) : You share a stronger bond to your regnant than most ghouls. You are able to sense their emotional and psychological state innately while in their presence (communicating this likely requires out-of-character interaction). In addition, whenever your regnant takes aggravated damage, you feel a twinge in the back of your skull that signals to you that they are in danger.
Vampiric Visage (●) : While most ghouls maintain an aura vibrant and full of mortal potential, yours has become muted and gray. Your aura is indistinguishable from a vampiric aura. In addition, your heartbeat is incredibly hard to detect without medical equipment, your teeth have a fang-like appearance, and your breath is so shallow that it’s hard to notice you inhale. While in some situations this can be dangerous, in vampiric society, it can be invaluable.
Ghoul Flaws
Baneful Blood (●● to ●●●●): The first time you were fed Blood and became a ghoul, something strange happened. The Bane suffered by your regnant was transferred through the Blood to you. Even if your regnant changes, you continue to suffer the same Bane.
●●: You experience the regnant’s Bane at Bane Severity 1.
●●●: You experience the regnant’s Bane at Bane Severity 2.
●●●●: You experience the regnant’s Bane at Bane Severity 3.
Crone’s Curse (●●●●): When you became ghouled to your first regnant, the vitae shocked your system, aging you unnaturally. You appear ten years older than you should. In addition, the damage to your circulatory system causes you to have one fewer health box.
Distressing Fangs (●): Your regnant’s Blood has mystically sharpened your teeth. No amount of dental surgery can fix them. They mystically resharpen themselves overnight. They are extremely off-putting to most other humans. They may be probable cause for the Second Inquisition to stop you for questioning.
