Ok in various threads here, have been some fairly extreme uses of possession and some not as extreme.
Ok is continued and substantial use of being possessed a form of addiction? Psychologically a maybe yes. Physiologically more than likely not. Having your entire set of physical stats ramped up way past what your bodies maximum stats, is I would say at least having a strong potential for being psychologically addictive. Yes I know there are no current rules for such, but just like if a character stays on Cram there are rules for addiction for that. So lets see if the current addiction rules can be used to include possession addiction. If possession is a mental addiction it would be a Will Power + Logic Test, if a physical addiction it will be a Body + Willpower test. Also such tests are done using the characters unpossessed attributes ratings. Now normal addiction thresholds are fairly straight forward but since we are talking about possession of Awakened character or in some cases a non Awakened character by a spirit it is not as straight forward. As per the Addiction Rules the testing interval is up to each GM Force of possessing spirit is less than Awakened Characters Magic Attribute--------Threshold is 2 Equal to Awakened Characters Magic Attribute---------Threshold is 3 Greater than Awakened Characters Magic Attribute----Threshold is 4 If the character is non awakened, but using or being used by possession spirits then use that characters essence attribute in place of Magic Attribute. At first failed Addiction Test the Characters is Mildly Addicted Second failed Addiction Test the Character is Moderately Addicted Third failed Addiction Test the character is Severely Addicted Fourth failed Addiction Test the character in in Burnout Addiction level Thoughts? Input? Ideas? Edited thresholds WMS |
