You thought your life was your own. You thought you were a real live boy. You thought you had earned your triumphs and owned your tragedies. You were wrong.
Dice Pool: Presence + Satiety vs. Composure + Supernatural Tolerance
Normal: The victim becomes convinced that he is a simulacrum, a hollow, soulless replica of the Beast. Seeking his own identity, for the duration of the Nightmare he is compelled to adopt a contrarian stance: denying the Beast’s statements, deliberately acting against the Beast’s advice, etc.
High Satiety: For the duration of the Nightmare, if the victim sees the Beast take damage or suffer an adverse Condition, he suffers the same damage or Condition.
Satiety Expenditure: The unreal cannot feel pain, nor sorrow, nor joy. The victim suffers no wound penalties and doesn’t fall unconscious when his Health track is filled with bashing damage, but he cannot regain Willpower from fulfilling his Virtue or Vice, and all his failures on Social actions are treated as dramatic failures.
Exceptional Success: The certainty that he is a barely real fragment of nothingness robs him of a certain spark of inspiration; the victim loses the 10-again effect on all actions.
