When you spend a day of downtime reading from the blasphemous pages of a vile book, roll +WIS. On a 10+ the GM will tell you a valuable and useful piece of information regarding the book’s subject. On a 7-9, as above, but also select one below:
* You read about a particularly disgusting ritual, take the Sick Debility (cannot choose this if you are already Sick).
* You read about infernal forces, the knowledge of which plagues your thoughts. Take the Confused Debility (cannot choose this if you are already Confused).
* A foul presence touches your mind. This is most certainly “unwelcome attention!”
* The book disintegrates in your hands.
None of those are conditional sucesses, so do you get the 10+ as well as one of those?
On any success “the GM will tell you a valuable and useful piece of information regarding the book’s subject”.
Then you only need to reword it a bit. “A success” made me think that was 10+ only.
Thanks Eric, reworded it, let me know if it’s still not clear.
Eric Duncan The wording in the book is usually “on a hit.” That’s assumed to be anything 7+, including “strong hits” (10+)
10+ The GM will tell you a valuable and useful piece of information, 7-9 also pick one:
(Choices)
Other than the wording, its a nice change in use of the debilitated
Robert Doe I changed the wording again, hopefully this is the epitome of clarity for this move 🙂
Awesome. I’m all for change and experimenting, but some things are best kept to a standard.
Again, well done on the move.
Debility is usually physical, rather than mental weakness however.
Not in my games Peter Cobcroft 🙂
Peter Cobcroft in my game, debilities are more often magical
Oh the beauty of TableTop games.
