Benny is transformed into a vile creature of the night! His skin has faded to a deathly pale, only regaining something close to human complexion in the immediate aftermath of feeding on human blood, and his irises are a dark blood red, though they fade slightly if he hasn't fed in some time. His visage easily fades into nothing when it is shrouded in shadow, leaving only a faint impression of nasty red eyes for those who know where to look.
He withers when exposed to direct sunlight or when he has been unable to feed in the past day, but otherwise has gained inhuman strength, speed, and irresistibility from his devil's bargain.
You gain the following benefits as long as you have fed in the last 24 hours and you are not in direct sunlight.

Huey is a BIG man, and simple mind tricks don't work on him as well as the rest. Although you may try, you're likely to be met with a mean look and a spit as if you'd done nothing but give him a petty insult.
Being behind a bar is more than just making fancy drinks or cleaning glassware, it's about maintaining an atmosphere well into the night. When individuals get too rowdy after one too many drinks, Integrity is needed to cut off people and get them out of the bar, in spite of drunken insults or, worse, fights. It takes a lot of willpower to do this regularly, but with a bit of help...

Neil's heart is now a withered, blackened thing, calcified flesh and congealed blood making it a solid core. So long as it persists, Neil's soul is capable of clinging to the mortal world, but if it is destroyed, he is banished. Even when "slain", his body continues to function.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. Your body leaves behind a token. You remain incapacitated until the following ritual is performed with the token: Take the black heart from the corpse, and bury it in the mud from a graveyard. The body will regrow.
While Incapacitated, your only weakness is the destruction of your withered, blackened heart, and if you take Damage from it, you will die. Damage from other sources will still be dealt and can cause Battle Scars, but will only kill you if your body is destroyed completely. If your weakness is not immediately obvious, attackers may roll to discover it. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.
The mobster presents a reasoned, logical case to the target: there's a lot of dangerous folks out there, and only they can offer safety... for a price.
If they agree, they will pay the mobster a monthly fee for protection. If they stop making their payments... well, let's just say, the mobster can't be held responsible for any unsavory types that might pay them a visit.
This Effect cannot be used unless you are making a deal to exchange money for protection.

When crafting your oath, you may incorporate any of the following penalties:
The target cannot be compelled to agree via a direct threat of violence, another Effect, or another oath. If you would like to use clever wording to mislead the target, you must succeed a contested Intellect + (Culture or Influence) roll.
The Thief examines an object closely for a minute to appraise its value. As their eyes dance across the subject, their pupils split vertically, and their irises fade to gold. If it is a particularly valuable item, the Thief may greedily lick their lips, revealing a forked tongue.
Within a minute, they have determined how materially valuable the object is and why.

If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
