Path of Corruption
Personal Note:
The largest advantage with this path is.... Should you be placed in a position when you need to Dominate another, but they to have dominate to block you....Well let them try to block this. In my opinion it is a more intense version of Dominate. Deffinately worth taking time to work on in your spare time. Levels 2 and 4 are the exceptions to what I stated above but I should not need to explain them,they speak for theirselves.
Kurt
Level One.....
>Contradict<
You can make any individual fail to say or do what he and just intended to--a character who had just been about to attack or dodge would instead hold still, and one who had been about to speak would hold his tongue, but only for the moment. All of these powers require the target to be within an arms reach of you. When acting at the same time as another character, you may use your action to try to cancel his. If you defeat him in a Social Challenge (subterfuge), he loses his action. You may instead use this power to cancel an attempt to dodge, if so, what ever attack was taking place automatically hits.
Level Two.....
>Disfigurement<
Just as the Mask of a Thousand Faces allows a character to change their own appearance, so does Disfigurement allow a character to change someone else's for a night. This only changes facial appearance, and the individual otherwise remains the same. Note that, despite the name, this power does not necessarily make the target look worse. Touch the target and spend one Mental Trait. If the target is unwilling, you must defeat them in a mental challenge (Medicine). Note that this power, like Mask< cannot duplicate someones appearance exactly.
Level Three...
>Change Mind<
With this power, you can cause drastic changes in another's actions. A person affected by this power can behave in a very different fashion than that which is accustomed. This powerdoes not change his basic nature however. Defeat the target in a Social Challenge (Subterfuge). If successfuul, you can make the target assume what ever Demeanor your choose for the remainder of the evening.
Level Four....
>Cripple<
This power lets you effectively turn the victim into a paraplegic, paralyzing them from the waist down. Touch the target, and defeat them in a Physical Challenge (Medicine). If you are succeed, they will be unable to move their legs for the next hour.
Level Five....
>Corrupt Soul<
A more intense version of Change Mind, this power can transform a person's very essence. Defeat the target in a Social Challenge (Subterfuge). If you succeed, you can make them assum whatever Nature you choose for the remainder of the evening.
