Horror (CofD)

For the primal nightmares from Beast: the Primordial, see Horror (BTP).

Horrors are various physical monsters that share the world with humanity in the Chronicles of Darkness. They may serve as antagonists in a mortal-focused game, or as accomplices, minions or outside-context problems for the protagonists of other game lines.

Horrors have a Potency rated from one to ten dots, which determines their Attribute limits and how many Skills, Merits and Dread Powers they can possess. They also typically possess a Virtue and Vice, like a mortal character, and at least one Aspiration, though this may be as simple as "feed on my chosen prey." They also, optionally, have a Ban or a Bane that can be used against them.
