Messy criticals

Edit Page Content

These Free Basic Rules only have a fraction of the content found in the Core Rulebook and Storyteller's Toolkit. Upgrade for tons more exciting lore, rules, and player options!

Whenever you score a critical and at least one ‘10’ (‘0’) comes from a Hunger dice, the character’s vampiric nature (also known as “The Beast”) makes itself known. You get two extra successes, but perform the action as a vampire would: killing someone you were trying to subdue, flashing fangs at someone you were trying to intimidate, Feeding from someone you met when canvassing, etc.

If you fail to come up with something appropriate the roll just fails instead, as the Beast clouds the vampire’s actions.

Example: when perusing the archives to find out if there have been any similar murders in the past, Paul’s player rolls two tens, one of which is on a Hunger die. Engrossing himself in the archives, Paul uncovers plenty of information, but when the archivist checks up on him, Paul’s annoyance at being interrupted results in him breaking the archivist’s arm.
