Waking Nightmare
Severe
Your character physically awakens and brings his nightmares with him. Upon encountering a specific trigger (agreed upon by player and Storyteller when the character acquires this derangement), the character finds himself facing the creatures or situation from his nightmares. The player must roll Resolve + Composure, with failure indicating that the character is lost in his nightmare vision. He passes out, unconscious, for the remainder of the scene. A dramatic failure is much the same, except that the character doesn’t simply lose consciousness. He begins attacking anything and anyone around him, believing he is fighting off the creatures or enemies from his dreams. During this state, he is fully capable of using whatever abilities and Disciplines he possesses, but he is also susceptible to frenzy or Rötschreck, depending on the events of his dream.
