    Abyssal Communion: Obtenebration-Specific Ritual

    Uploaded by

    Willian Guilherme Rehbein
    This ritual allows Lasombra to better control manifestations of darkness from the Abyss. To perform it, one must meditate alone within a Shroud of Night for an hour, concentrating on the nature of the Abyss. If successful on an Occult + Obtenebration roll, all Obtenebration difficulties are reduced by 2 for the night. Converting it to LARP, the ritual could reduce the cost of Arms of the Abyss or the time to change into Tenebrous Form. However, knowledge of this rare ritual should only be discovered through significant effort.

    Abyssal Communion: Obtenebration-specific Ritual

    Tabletop cost: 10 experience points


    MET cost: 6 experience points

    Lasombra fortunate enough to come across an Elder, schooled in the Abyssal arts, can
    potentially learn this rare ritual that allows a Keeper to temporarily ease their ability in
    summoning manifestations of the void.

    By first surrounding themselves in the dark enclosure of the Shroud of Night and
    meditating for one hour, concentrating uninterrupted on the nature of the Abyss, the
    Lasombra can form a certain "synergy" with the darkness, allowing better control of it.

    System:

    Tabletop: Character must call forth a Shroud of Night, and sit within it for a full hour of
    meditation. Player rolls Occult + (character's rating in Obtenebration), difficulty 7.
    (Optional: If the character possesses the Abyssal Occultism ability, she may use that score
    in place of Occult, and reduce the difficulty of the roll to 6) Two successes are required.

    If successful, all Obtenebration roll difficulties are reduced by 2 for the remainder of the
    night.

    MET: This is a difficult ritual to convert to MET, since using Obtenebration in LARP is
    more just a matter of spending the requisite Blood and Social/Mental traits, rather than it
    being a matter of a "difficulty."

    The only alternatives that spring to my mind are:

    1. After performing this ritual, Arms of the Abyss cost one Social trait for two arms, rather
    than the standard 1 for 1.
    2. The regular three rounds it takes to change into Tenebrous Form can be reduced to one
    round.

    In the end, it will be up to the Storyteller to determine what might be a fair trade off, but
    this ritual really only makes sense in the tabletop system.

    (Note: This should not be an easy bit of knowledge to discover. Abyssal Occultism itself is
    a rare and hard to discover thing; a ritual dealing with it should be even more difficult to
    uncover, let alone "invent" on one's own. Storytellers are encouraged to make the
    attainment of this ritual a hard-fought one, as only a handful of Lasombra Elders would
    know of this rite.)
