Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The creature
transfers its senses into the corpse…and

then finds it can’t animate the corpse. It
lies trapped in the body for a full 24-hour
period.
Failure: The creature cannot forge a
mystical connection with the corpse.
Success: The creature’s soul transfers
to the corpse for a number of hours equal
to its Resolve score. The creature still has
access to all his Skills, but all Attributes
suffer the loss of one dot while inhabiting
the corpse. In addition, Speed is halved
(round down). The creature feels no pain
when the corpse is damaged. The corpse
body has 10 total levels of Health, but can
only take fi ve points of damage before pen-
alties start to mount (to a maximum of -5).
If the body is destroyed, the creature snaps
back to its own body (or, if it has no body,
is left bodiless and ephemeral in Twilight).
Note, however, that if the creature’s actual
body is harmed while torpid, it automati-
cally exits the corpse body and returns to
its own.
Exceptional Success: As above, but
the creature retains his Speed.
Sleep (• to •••••)
Cost: 1 Willpower
Action: Instant and Contested
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Persua-
sion + Sleep vs. target’s Wits + Stamina
Effect: The target passes out for a
number of turns equal to 10 minus her
Resolve score. Use of this ability neces-
sitates eye contact.

Dramatic Failure: The monster
can’t use this power on a target again
for the rest of the night. The target even
feels like she’s hopped up on double
espressos, and may go without sleep if
she chooses.
Failure: The effect fails to catch. The
creature may try again in the next turn,
spending another Willpower to do so.
Success: The creature earns more
successes than the target. The target falls
into a light slumber from which she can be
awakened easily: any noise beyond the am-
bient or touch to her person will startle her
from sleep. She will, upon waking, suffer a
-1 penalty for the rest of the scene, as she
is otherwise plagued by grogginess. Note,
however, that she can avoid falling asleep
