Mind Games

You are adept at creating especially twisted chimerical effects that prey upon the minds of your targets. When you use the Chimerstry power Horrid Reality, your illusions no longer affect your target’s physical body; they instead directly attack the target’s psyche. If your illusions attack your target’s psyche, your target must use a defense test pool consisting of her Social attribute + Willpower to defend against any attack made by Apparitions augmented by your Horrid Reality. Your attack test pool consists of your Social attribute + Subterfuge skill, as normal. You may choose not to use the benefits of this merit; if so, your target uses the standard Horrid Reality defense test pool consisting of her Physical attribute + Dodge skill.
