Merits

=MERITS=
==SUPERNATURAL==
*Cursed Item (• to •••••)
**You have somehow come into possession of a magical item that, though powerful, has a number of crucial failings in terms of how it operates.
*Difficult to Ride (••••) Pre: Composure •••, Resolve •••
**Spirits have little to no sway over your character, and will have a much harder time attempting to take control of them over the course of play.
*Easy Ride (••) Pre: Wits •••
**Spiritual possession is fairly natural to your character, and it is something you are able to allow happen with little to no struggle.
*Hollow Soul (••) Pre: Easy Ride Merit
**Your character is so easy to possess that spirits who normally cannot possess individuals are able to possess you regardless.
*Locus-Drinker (•••) Pre: Mortal
**Through some unusual twist of fate, you have the ability to draw Essence, which, though it cannot be saved, can be used to feed spirits, or for other purposes.
*Pleasing Aura (•••)
**The aura of your character is, in some way, pleasing to spirits, making them easier to socialize with. This Merit can be detected through Auspex and other aura-reading techniques.
*Residual Spirit Energy (••) Pre: Mortal
**A large, but untappable storehouse of Essence exists inside your character, releasing it whenever your blood is shed.
*Saintly (•••)
**The opposite of Pleasing Aura, this trait causes spirits to flee your presence, and to be generally disinclined to help you, other than when forced.
*Shadow Contacts (••• to •••••)
**A variation on the Social Contacts Merit, but significantly more potent, as the Shadow Contacts have influence in nearly all parts of the city, both mortal and supernatural; however, these answers come at great price.
*Shadowless Chambers (• to •••••)
**Your character owns some sort of refuge that is invisible to spirits, providing them a place where they can be outside their influence. Unfortunately, if a spirit does manage to find it or be let inside, the refuge will start to lose its magic.
*Spirit Ear
**Spirit Ear (••) Pre: Wits or Composure •••
***Your character has an innate understanding of the often bizarre methods of communication that spirits use, allowing them a surface-level understanding of what they say.
**Spirit Ear (••••) Pre: Wits or Composure •••
***You have devoted some time to learning the intentionally obfuscated language of spirits, making it possible to translate their words, to some extent. Distinct from the two-dot version; see above. If the two-dot is possessed before buying this Merit, it only costs three dots, instead of four.
*Unseen Sense (Spirits) (• to ••••)
**An expansion of the three-dot Mental Merit from the Core Rulebook, this spirit-based version is considerably more detailed, and gives a number of specified benefits:
***• A roll may be made to seek out loci and other spiritual confluences.
***•• A character may sense when spirits in the area activate certain powers.
***••• It becomes possible to sense some spirits, even if they are hidden in Twilight.
***•••• Humans or creatures that are being possessed by spirits can be easily detected.

==FAE MERITS==
*Fae Pet (•• or ••••)
*Fair Haven (•••)
==GEIST MERITS==
*Haunt (•+)
**A Haunt is a place with a strong connection to the Underworld. Sin-eaters may use such places to harvest plasm or to open an Avernian Gate. Any place with strong death energy can become a haunt. Haunts have three factors, each of which is treated as a separate merit. Utility is the size, security, accessibility, and mundane usefulness. Fluidity represents how strong the connection to the Underworld is and how easily an Avernian Gate can be opened at the Haunt. A modifier of +1 per dot in fluidity is added to all attempts to open an Avernian Gate at the location. Residue represents how well the Haunt collects plasm. each dot in residue represents a dot of plasm per week. Because of how well connected the haunt is to the Underworld, sleeping in a Haunt will not allow the sin-eater to regain spent Willpower or being well rested due to nightmares.
*Ceremonies (• to •••••)
**Ceremonies are rituals to achieve specific effects. All ceremonies are extended actions, and all have a target number of successes equal to 2+ ceremony rating, unless otherwise stated. Purchase of this merit, however, is only important at character creation. The number of dots in this merit are equal to the total number of dots for ceremonies a starting character can have. For example, a starting character with 3 dots in the ceremony merit may have one 3-dot ceremony, three 1-dot ceremonies, or one 1-dot and one 2-dot ceremony. After this, ceremonies may be purchased at 2 xp per dot. The number of dots in the ceremony merit does not indicate a cap on how high a level ceremony you may purchase, and the new ceremonies are not treated as an expansion of the merit.
*Codex (Merit: ••• or •••••) Prerequisite: Ceremonially-inducted krewe member.
*Death Rite (Merit: • to •••••) Prerequisites: Founder of a Tier Two krewe, Flesh Fair Merit.

*Flesh Fair (Merit: • to •••) Prerequisite: Krewe founder
*Krewe Fate (Merit: • to •••••) Prerequisite: Krewe founder
*Krewe Status (Automatic Merit: • to •••••) Prerequisite: Krewe member or ally
*Memento (• to •••••)
**Mementos, also called memento mori, are items that contain a connection to death and act as a focal point of power. All sin-eaters have at least one memento, their keystone, which is given to them by their geist. The Keystone grants access to one threshold and two keys. This memento is free at character creation, and is typically kept in the Twilight. All other mementos must be purchased as separate merits. A memento cannot be improved- it is what it is. There are 5 other kinds of mementos:
***Charms- Level one mementos that grant access to one threshold. The death energy in a charm is unfocused, but use of the "Dedicate charm" ceremony can focus the energy into a Key associated with the charms threshold. A charm that has been dedicated grants a +1 bonus to all manifestation rolls involving that Key. Having an impressive charm or a large number of charms adds +3 too all social rolls with the Bound.
*Vanitas- Level two mementos that allow the sin-eater to regain spent willpower. The sin-eater must make their own vanitas, and it can be anything they wish it to be. The threshold of a vanitas is the threshold of the sin-eater. Meditating on a vanitas and the nature of their own death allows the sin-eater to regain spent willpower by making a resolve+composure roll. Doing so takes a full scene. Destroying the vanitas of another sin-eater grants full willpower. A sin-eater may only have one vanitas at a time.
***Fetters- Level three mementos that have one threshold and one key. A +2 bonus is given to manifestation rolls using this key. A fetter is created by binding a ghost to its own anchor. The ghost may or may not be pleased with the arrangement. The ghost is no longer able to affect the physical realm or use their numina. However, once per scene, the sin-eater may channel a numen through their own body. Each fetter has only one numen associated with it and the roll is attribute+skill, all of which is determined at the formation of the fetter by the ST.
***Deathmasks- Level four mementos that are the physical remains of a geist. They have one threshold, one key, and one associated skill. They supply a +1 bonus to ceremonies relating to the threshold, a +2 bonus to manifestation rolls using the key, and a +1 bonus to rolls involving the associated skill. In addition, the deathmask retains a memory of the second key, which can be accessed as a manifestation. The deathmask holds 5 plasm, and replenishes spent plasm at the rate of 1 plasm a night. The plasm cannot be drawn into the sin-eater's own reservoir but may be used in place of it. The sin-eater must be wearing the deathmask to access any of the bonuses, and cannot have more deathmasks than half their psyche rating.
***Memorabilia- Level five mementos that are connected to the death of a famous person, and are more powerful charms because of this. They come with a threshold and can be dedicated to a key, granting a +1 bonus to manifestations used with that key. They grant the +3 bonus to social rolls; however, these rolls now have 9 again. If the memorabilia is a piece of equipment, it grants a +5 equipment modifier. If it is not equipment, it has an associated skill to which is grants a +3 bonus if the sin-eater focuses for a round. Using this memento will result in nightmares the following sleep period, and when carried gives a -3 penalty to dealing with regular humans.
