The Lore of Flesh level 3 gift "Manipulate Flesh" allows for a character to roll and any successes can be used as a dot in any physical or mental stat.

does this sound broken to you guys? do GM house rule that you can only use it once per character, or once per day per character? Could a Fallen use it to give him all 5's in both physical and mental?

In reply to Vane66 (msg #1):

::shrug:: Lotsa things from old World are what people would call "broken". Just remember that every power that seems broken was designed to help reinforce the theme of darkness corrupting and all that. Have the power attract the wrong kinds of attention, and instead - the "broken" power becomes a plot thread.

Well I was informed that the power is widely accepted as lasting only for the scene it is used in. I can't remember if I read that in the book or it is was missing but that was how everyone treated it.

Because the Lore of Flesh 5 allows you to make permanent changes to a character.

Aye. That's how I take it. 3rd dot is temporary (so, for the scene is appropriate I'd say) and 5th dot can be permanent changes with a good enough roll. Respectively, one risks lasting derangements and even death for even trying though.

In the Demon Player's Guide, page 14, they have some errata for Demon: the Fallen.  The effects of Manipulate Flesh last for the duration of the scene.
