Traits & Ban[]
- Background Cost: 3
Traits[]
The Dark Fungus gives its bastards one extra die to Enigmas and Occult Dice Pools. It hovers over growing mushrooms, manifesting in them and producing powerful psychoactive substances. Only its bastards may partake of these. They use them as sacraments, gaining incredible insight at the cost of their already fractured sanity. Eating the plant requires a Stamina roll against a difficulty of (15 - the ingestor's Gnosis; maximum 10). Failure means that a Derangement is gained, but success gives the ingestor the Gift: Pulse of the Invisible.
Ban[]
Bastards must tend growing mushrooms wherever they find them.
