Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Crooked Smile - Your ceaseless grin is, at best, unsettling, and at worst, demonic. (You suffer +2 difficulty on all social rolls where you are trying to persuade someone through using anything other than fear).

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: The Boogeyman - Your hunger is particularly sated by the fear of children. (Whenever you encounter a child, roll Self-Control or attempt to harvest the child's fear).

  • GMs should use their discretion when determining the exact impacts of this Effect, particularly in conjunction with environmental factors. Standing still against a complex background may render you impossible to detect, and footprints in snow may make it easy. A chance to detect you is not guaranteed.
