Conditions

Inspired (manipulating men)

Your character is deeply inspired. When your character takes an action pertaining to that inspiration, you may resolve this Condition. An exceptional success on that roll requires only three successes instead of five and you gain a point of Willpower.

Resolution: You spend inspiration to spur yourself to greater success, resolving the Condition as described above.

Beat: n/a

Sated (Persistent)

Your character has medium Satiety, which means four, five, or six dots. The Horror wants more but doesn’t need more. The Hunger still gnaws but isn’t overpowering. This is a state of equilibrium between the power of desire and the need for sustenance.

Systems: Being Sated doesn’t confer any mechanical bonuses; the Beast is content, and the Soul rankles at contentment. The Soul’s discomfort and desire for change makes it possible for a Hero to place Anathemas on the Beast.

Resolution: Reduce Satiety to three or fewer dots, or increase it to seven or more dots.

Beat: When your character pursues further Satiety at risk of personal harm, take a Beat. When your character frivolously spends Satiety (meaning to accomplish something she could just as easily accomplish without the expenditure), take a Beat. If a Hero places an Anathema on the character, take a Beat.
