Ego

==Ego==
*An Abomination's beginning Ego is equal to her Gnosis score.
*Ego represents how well the Abomination can resist the bestial urges within it. These are not natural urges, but Wyrmridden emotions. An Abomination that falls to zero Ego is lost utterly; it is a thing of the Wyrm.
*Like Humanity, Ego determines how deeply the Abomination must sleep during the day. The Ego Trait indicates the maximum number of dice an Abomination may roll for any action during the day. See the Humanity rules in Vampire for more details.
*Ego does not determine the Abomination's chance to frenzy - that is governed by its Rage. However, for every frenzy it suffers, it may lose Ego, depending on its actions during frenzy .
When an Abomination frenzies, it risks losing more Ego, thus degenerating into a servant of the Wyrm. It cannot control its actions, and may transgress against its own values and the ways of the Garou. The more Ego it loses, the more the Abomination's soul is devoured by the Wyrm. An Abomination does not have to frenzy to transgress; it can make this decision on its own.
Below are listed the various actions which require an Ego roll to resist degeneration. Only one success is required. A failure means that one level of Ego is lost. A dramatic failure means the Abomination gains a Derangement as a Black Spiral Dancer (see Book of the Wyrm for a list of Derangements). A roll is only required for an action of the Abomination's Ego level or below. For instance, an Abomination with a seven Ego does not have to make a roll for teaching a Rite to a Kindred friend.
