Drawback: Requires concentration. The character can do nothing else, and loses their defense for the turn.

Pre: None
The ability for the character to manipulate the forces of the universe.
Type of psychokinesis is determined during character creation. Some of the force must be present for the ability to be used.
The character spends a point of Willpower to activate their ability, and they must roll Resolve + Occult. Each success allows a degree of manipulation of the force. If the manipulation is an attack on a target, subtract the target's Resolve from the character's Resolve + Occult roll. If the attack is not a direct attack, the 3-dot version causes 1 lethal damage whereas the 5-dot version causes 2 lethal.
Drawback is that whenever the character depletes the last of their Willpower they can lose control, and their ability can occur spontaneously. This can be resisted with a Resolve + Composure with a -2 penalty if the force is located nearby. Wild manifestations of the force do not cost Willpower.

Suggested ideas:

• Increase or decrease the manifestation size by 1
• Move the manifestation a number of yards equal to the character's Willpower dots multiplied by 2
• Shape the focus into a specific form. If intricate detail is required, roll Intelligence + Crafts
• Attack a target with the force
• Use the force creatively

Pre: Telekinesis * or Psychokinesis *
Spending a point of Willpower, this outward blast is like a grenade and will cause a Damage 3, Force 3 explosion with a primary blast radius equal to the character's Resolve in meters. The character will suffer bashing damage, not lethal. If the damage inflicted is greater than a target's Stamina, they suffer the Knocked Down tilt as well - this does not apply to the character themself.
Drawback: the character's instinctive self defense mechanism can trigger this power. The first time in a scene that the character sees their last Health Box get filled with bashing or lethal damage, this merit triggers as a reflexive action. This occurs even if the damage would render the character unconscious or kill them.

Cost: **** or *****
Pre: Biokinesis equal to the Psychic Vampirism Level
The target is drained of Willpower, equal to a contest of Wits + Resolve versus the target's Resolve with 1 Willpower being drained per success. For the **** the Willpower is drained and gone, for ***** for every 2 points drained the Vampire regains 1 Willpower themselves.

Cost: * to *****
Pre: Telepathy *****

1. Of One Mind: Can setup a network of telepathic minds. Roll for telepathy as normal, with a -1 penalty per mind after the first. Effects last the remainder of the scene
   
2. White Noise: With a successful Telepathy roll targets receive the Stunned tilt in addition to normal effect
   
3. Unison: When the moment comes, the character and their allies act as one consciousness. All subjects linked by this level of the merit can take their actions simultaneously on the character's initiative so long as they haven't acted already this turn
   
4. Derail Thought: The target's mind is filled with psychic noise, distracting them - if they do anything other than Dodge, they receive a penalty equal to the number of successes rolled. The target can shake this off with a successful Resolve + Composure roll, exceeding the number of successes the character rolled initially
   
5. Shared Struggle: Allies linked by this merit can reflexively spend a Willpower point to give the +3 benefit to another linked character. This does not increase the number of points each character can spend, but does allow the number of characters to spend Willpower on a single roll to increase.
   Drawback: Rrequires intense concentration and must be performed as an extended action

Cost: **
Pre: None
Character can connect to a computer through touch (**). Spend a point of Willpower, and roll Intelligence + Occult. Each success allows the character to examine the information they receive among the following parameters:

• Users who have accessed the device recently
• Identify a device's function and any other device networked with it
• Log of communication made on the device in the past day
• Any information containing a specific search criteria
• Video or other media stored on the device
• Originator of the data signal
• Destination of the data signal
• Content of the data signal

The information requires concentration to process, and is stored in the character's mind as  a memory, and may require an Intelligence + Composure roll to remember.
Drawback: This power causes a tremendous strain on a device, and causes 2 points of Structural damage after the first successful attempt, 3 on a failure. Devices reduced to 0 short out, and any data on them is irrecoverable. Wireless version, any attempt after the 1st corrupts the signal and it is lost. The receiver realises that their data has been intercepted.

Once per scene the character can add the rating of this merit to their attack pool, or add +1 to damage for every 2 points of rating. The weapon is also more resilient than normal, and regenerates a point of structural damage every night even if "destroyed."
Drawback - the weapon is not a servant, it's a partner and if an action happens that goes against its own desires the character can suffer a reflexive penalty equal to this merit's rating. Also, if the character chooses to hesitate the weapon can attack itself using the rating as a dice pool.

Cost: ***

For every success the character may inflict on of the following:

• A personal tilt such as Arm Wrack by stabbing the effigy lasting for 1 turn per success used
• Attacking vital organs with a roll of Intelligence + Medicine - target's Stamina + Supernatural Tolerance, doing lethal damage
• Whisper horrible things to the effigy to distract the target and reducing the victim's next Social action to a chance die

Cost: **
Pre: None
Character has grown a second mouth on the back of their head, beneath their hair, that whispers secrets to them. Whenever the character meets someone new, they may ask three questions, and the mouth answers two of them - but one is a lie.
The mouth warns of imminent danger, if the character fails a reflexive Wits + Composure roll to detect an ambush they can immediate make a second one at a -1 penalty.
Drawback: Besides being horrific to look at, the mouth requires feeding every hour or it will begin to cry loudly imposing -3 penalty to all actions that require concentration

Cost: * to *****
Pre: Cursed **, Stamina **, Resolve ***

1. Bucket List: Any time the character achieves an aspiration, replenish a point of Willpower and add a +1 to their Defense for the next attack against them in the next scene
   
2. Die with Dignity: Any attempts, mundane or supernatural, to convince the character to do something which would prevent them from working towards or achieving their Aspiration before they die automatically fails

4. Not Today: When the character takes lethal damage that would go into their last health box, instead the damage wraps around and becomes aggravated instead - leaving the last health box clear. This means that the character can continue fighting.
   The character can do this a number of times equal to their Resolve in a single scene.
   
5. Don't go Gently: When confronted by the source of their Cursed merit, the character can choose to spend all of their remaining points of Willpower to gain a bonus number of dice equal to their Willpower total for a single action. If this is for an attack, upgrade the damage type.

Pre: Resolve ***, Medium ***
The character has suffered a trauma that has attracted a spirit, creating a symbiotic relationship. The spirit should only be rank 1 but can be telepathically summoned to help defend the character when in need.
A suitably situation should be generated with the GM.
Drawback - the character suffers the Urged condition for the spirit, as the spirit tries to recreate the trauma so that it can feed off the essence generated.

Cost: **
Pre: Empathy ***
The character can put themselves into the mindset of a protagonist, but doing so takes them to a dark, internal place.
The task requires intense medication or similar (suggested time spent browsing over evidence of what the criminal/protagonist has done), but once done the character gains the 8-again benefit for all rolls to do with the investigation regarding the criminal.
At night however the character suffers nightmares and relives these dark actions - if they did not pursue the criminal during the day, the dreams get darker and a roll is needed to avoid degeneration as if the character had committed the dark acts themselves. Avoiding sleep is one way to avoid this - but comes at the usual cost for missed sleep.
Additionally, until the criminal/protagonist is caught, the character rolls at -1 to resist degeneration.

Cost: * to *****
Pre: Occult ***, Mystery Cult Initiation *****
The character can gain power at the cost of another person's soul via a ritual. Make an extended Wits + Occult roll, with each success representing 10minutes of chanting and preparation. Target must be immobilised.

5 successes: A 4 dot merit, or 4 dots worth of Merits blocked on a target
7 successes: Five dots of Supernatural Mertis
10 successes: Direct intervention by an ephemeral entity aligned with the cult
Drawback: Each time this ritual is performed the number of successes required increases by +1 cumulatively. The ritual is always a breaking point for those involved.

Cost: * to *****

Pre: None
The character is a magnet for fortune and fate. If they touch someone, they steal their good fortune from them. They can spend a Willpower point to avoid these effects. Any failures that the target makes are considered Dramatic Failures. The character benefits from four dice whenever they spend a Willpower point.
Drawback: Once a victim of this merit suffers a dramatic failure, they hear the character's voice in the back of their mind.

Cost: **
Pre: None
There is something different about the character's aura that makes supernatural entities overlook, ignore or even believe that the character is one of their own.

Cost: **
Pre: None
The character witnesses the death of a loved one (or found the body no more than 24 hours after the death) that caused a Breaking Point roll. The character can use the 8-again benefit to a number of rolls every chapter equal to the victim's Integrity at their time of death. These rolls must involve finding a way to punish those that committed the crime.
The merit is lost when the deed is done and justice has finally been served.
