OTHER REALMS

Toshigoku

Toshigoku is the realm of slaughter, the angry dead engaging in constant combat to the death, only to rise again and again to kill and be killed. The realm's influence causes pure, unbridled rage to rise constantly.

Mechanics

While in Toshigoku, a character gains one point of influence per hour. Each point of influence lowers their Composure by 1.

If your Composure reaches 0, you become lost to Toshigoku. You no longer suffer penalties for being compromised, and can no longer distinguish friend from foe, because you have no friends, only targets for your unending wrath.

While affected by Toshigoku's influence, you may not unmask except to go berserk, in which case you gain the Enraged status. You may unmask any number of times per scene, each time gaining another stack of Enraged, adding a cumulative +2 severity to all crits you deal and receive.

While in Toshigoku, characters have the following special actions:

Once per scene, you may make a Meditation/Void check, with TN equal to your current Influence. On a success, you remove Influence equal to 1+Bonus Successes.

Once per scene per character, you may make a Courtesy check with a ring suitable to your approach, targeting one ally, with TN equal to the higher of their Vigilance or Focus. On a success, they remove Influence equal to 1+Bonus Successes. You may spend opportunities 1 for 1 to target additional characters with an equal or lower TN.
