The power to inflict mental trauma on a target.
Used by Rosa Beatriz, Created by OphelianAshe.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. You must actively and obviously be using Clementine.)

Strumming your guitar to provoke the right mood, you poke at an insecurity or weak point in someone's mental defences, absolutely tearing into them, attempting to reduce them to tears and anguish.


Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action. Select a Human target within 20 feet. You must actively and obviously use Clementine to activate this Effect. Roll Intellect + Performance Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, your target will take 2 points of Mind Damage and gains two new Traumas of your choice. The Trauma should be general and not specifically mention you. You should not have to be involved to trigger the Trauma.

these Traumas may be removed by Effects or mundane therapy, as normal. Affected targets are aware that they are being attacked and can generally tell who did it.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
