••••• •• Phobia

[Followers of Set Only]

By talking to her victim, the Setite can instill an irrational fear of a certain object, substance, person, or condition.

The object of the phobia can be broad (cars) or very specific (pink ‘79 Fords), although the victim must be able to recognize and distinguish what the vampire wants him to fear. The latter example, for instance, would not work on a person who was colorblind.

System

Implanting the Phobia requires success on a Manipulation + Intimidation roll (difficulty of the target’s Courage + 3). A simple success confers a Phobia that lasts a single scene. Rolling more successes than the victim’s Courage results in a Phobia that lasts indefinitely, although the victim may overcome the Phobia as if it were a Derangement.
