Appearance

Your expertise with art and deception. Controlled by heart.

• Dazzle. You make an impression. In a social setting the referee may ask for a check against your score to see how much attention you attract. Your success margin is the number of personalities that notice you in a positive way. The highest success margin is the clear star of the gathering and gains a reaction bonus (+2) for the encounter. On a tie, no one receives the bonus. On a failure remain unnoticed. If different individuals are trying to impress the same person this can be rolled as a simple contest, or a complication with grit damage as a consequence.
• Deceive. When you tell a lie with any significance you must roll a check against your perform score. If you fail you immediately incite suspicion. If you succeed you do not trigger suspicion. Opponents may use command to interrogate you, and you contest such attempts with your deceive.
• Distract. You may use a snap check against your perform score as a social attack. If you succeed your target gains interference.
• Recite. You may use a project to perform a ritual you possess or know. Most rituals are rolled as a complication against your skill score, and the target and consequences vary. You may purchase and possess rituals as items of equipment. Some abilities or mastery options may allow you to know a ritual without an item of equipment.
• Taunt. You insult or flirt with a target at short range. This requires an action and is a social attack using your perform score. If you succeed you deal your taunt effects. A taunt rolls 1dE plus effect dice equal to your sense control. Green results confuse (eliminating denizens from your target's intent or possibly adding interference), blue results deal grit damage, and red results deal wits damage.
