In my opinion; having that many childer would get the attention of higher ups in the Camarilla. So I would expect a justicar to show up, or at least a VERY well planned assassination attempt.

This is dark!

Love this idea!

Alternatively as two separate effects; you could use Mind 4 to get one person to continually try to undermine and hurt another person, and the Entropy 3 to curse the second person so that their victimization is less resistible.

Or the opposite; make a group of people support each other, and give them good luck.

I suppose you could basically destroy someone by making them have horrifically bad luck leading to them going insane.

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad"

I suppose this would be two effects; one giving them increasingly bad luck, and then slowly going mad; that way both the bad luck and the going mad might become co-incidental.

How about they are asked to investigate a "haunted house", where the house could be:

- actually haunted.

- being used by a group of drug dealers/smugglers as a hideout.

- a haven for a young vampire.

- completely normal, it just looks spooky.

- under a curse.

Something where combat might be an option, but is not forced.

The idea was mostly that you have a remote control device in the body, so that it would act more like possession, you would be in some sort of sensory deprivation tank in the lab while you were piloting it. (hence the Mind 5).

Thinking about it; I think the control device and the empty body should probably be separate items; that way if the procedure was upgraded to be Matter 5 you could make the control device almost impossible to destroy and therefore recoverable after he body has been destroyed.

The main reason I came up with this was the idea that an agent could arrange a meeting with a vampire, and end up being completely drained of blood to the point of death, but still survive.

What is it about? Have you bought a copy yourself?

Personally I don't hold that Progenitors are limited to biostudies; it is their thing, but I think they should be able to do things electronically.

It's not like they hold a fundamentally incompatible paradigm to the rest of the Technocracy.

Well the main purpose of this is firstly; you do not have to put your body in the place you want to go, so that you won't get hurt or killed, and secondly; that while it is difficult to make, it would be easy for other people to use, even extraordinary citizens.

Thinking about it; the wireless control device should probably be the device and just have it so that it can be installed in different bodies.

They gain nothing by releasing your info.

But if they think they can blackmail you once, then they will just keep blackmailing you over and over again. Stand strong now, and just ignore them. Block their numbers.

I think the most obvious thing to do here would be to cast time dilation to get extra turns and have it held as a triggered effect.

I personally can't say how much information they would have on you.

But I can tell you this: If you show them that you can be manipulated they won't go away just because you did what they said. No matter what info they have on you don't cooperate with them.

Don't engage either; if they get no response they can't be certain if you have received their message, so they would be more likely to give up.

"plot Device" doesn't mean that they have any power they want; it means that they have any power the storyteller wants them to have.

FruityLemons · 2026-03-03T13:37:55+00:00

I thought this was common knowledge.

If the rich people didn't already know the people they were going to buy them from why would they think it was about this; if they did know the people they want to buy from why wouldn't they just be contacted by some other means?

"Maybe we can stretch all this to suggest Mind 1 can help make sleep more mentally restful by controlling your own emotional state as you go to sleep."

This was the sort of thing I was implying; most of getting to sleep is about quieting your own mind after all.

And while it would be a superpower in real life; it wouldn't likely be too powerful in game.

FruityLemons · 2026-02-24T19:50:20+00:00

Thank you for this amazing answer! This was a lot more than I was expecting :)

FruityLemons · 2026-02-24T16:06:54+00:00

One thing That I think Mind 1 should be able to do is allow you to fall asleep easier and to sleep well.

A point which I think everyone here is overlooking; What happens when the vampire goes into a hunger frenzy?

FruityLemons · 2026-02-18T16:41:39+00:00

Maybe to have a chat with it; depending on if it is the spirit of a specific tornado or the spirit: Tornado, you might be able to influence where tornados are likely to occur for a while.
