Essence Pool & Expenditures

Maximum Essence pool is equal to (5 + Primal Urge).

  • May spend Essence equal to Primal Urge per turn. This is reduced to 1 per turn during the day.

Electrical Disruption (Side Effects)

Spending Essence causes some effects into the environment. This power of Shadow tends to have a deleterious effect on delicate electronics and electrical systems.

Essence Expenditure Effect on Electronics
3 New generation computerized equipment stops functioning. Radio communication (including cells that do still work) is very static-filled.
6 Older generation computer equipment stops functioning. All radio communication is useless. Electronic equipment that isn't computerized starts to flicker and function poorly.
12 Electronic equipment stops working, and basic electrical systems begin to flicker and function poorly.
20 Basic electrical systems short out or explode in showers of sparks. Unshielded batteries are drained of their electricity without display.
30 All now-burnt-out devices begin to crawl with non-damaging displays of arcing otherworldly electricity

Recovery

  • +(highest Primal Urge in pack, +1/packmate): Pack running in pack Territory during full moon.
  • +(Primal Urge): By touching a werewolf and spending a point of Willpower, may steal this amount from werewolf. No WP necessary if Packbound to werewolf.

The Lament

When you run out of Essence completely, you is said to be in the grips of the Lament, taking the Lamented Tilt (save that you occasionally hear mad whisperings).
