Every day you abuse the tools that make your life possible. You shake your phone when it drops a call, throw the controller when you lose a game, scream at your car when it won’t quite start. Did you think there would be no consequence?
Dice Pool: Presence + Satiety vs. Composure + Supernatural Tolerance
Normal: The victim suffers from delusions that his equipment is both aware and malevolent. On any action that requires the use of tools or equipment (for example, hacking a computer or fixing a car), he suffers a –2 penalty.
High Satiety: In addition to the penalty, the victim does not receive an equipment bonus from any item he employs. This includes the damage bonus from weapons, but Armor derived from equipment is not negated. Other benefits of equipment, such as the 8- or 9-again rule, are similarly unaffected by this nightmare.
Satiety Expenditure: On a dramatic failure on any action that involves the use of tools or equipment, the victim suffers 2 lethal damage.
Exceptional Success: The victim suffers a –3 penalty instead.
