Fool's Medicine

Category

Bigotry may be commonplace in the West, but that doesn't mean Gaia's Children have to like it. Tribe members use this Gift to teach a harsh lesson to people blinded by hatred. It lets the user make general alterations to a person's skin tone and facial features. The person remains recognizable in many respects but suddenly has a cocoa complexion, say, instead of a ruddy one, or 'Oriental eyes' instead of 'round eyes'. Loved ones can usually discern the target's identity, however, which is an aspect of the Gift that troubles many bigots more than the alteration itself. Basically, the target changes to resemble a member of the ethnic group he despises most.

System

The user spends a Gnosis point to activate the Gift and rolls Perception + Empathy (difficulty 7). The number of successes equals the duration, in days, of the Gift. The user must touch the target for Fool's Medicine to take effect, which it does the next time the target sleeps.
