Scapegoat (Ethereal)
An older, rarely seen Discord, Scapegoat tends to
strike across the boundaries fairly evenly - although
it has a slightly higher occurance rating among
Malphas's and Novalis's crews.
Within a number of yards equal to the level of the
Discord, everyone but the Celestial gains a level of
Anger equal to the level of Scapegoat, directed at the
afflicted Celestial. Meaning that at high levels,
it's fairly difficult to actually go out in public...
Gremlin-itis (Ethereal)
Almost exclusivly occuring among Jean and Vapula's
groups, this Discord has also manifested in older
celestials- primarily the ones who gripe about
'newfangled wiggits'. It manifests itself as a series
of minor mental blocks that reduce the effectiveness
of any attempt at using technology more modern than a
carriage.
Whenever a roll involves using some piece of
technology, a penelty equal to the level of the
Discord is subtracted from the target number, and any
failed rolls add the Discord's level to the CD. In
addition, a natural CD of 6 on a failed roll will
simply destroy a computer or similiar complex device
(including many modern cars!)
Hotshot (Celestial)
Far and away, Michael's crowd grabs this particular
Discord - although it's also relativly common among the
Wheels and demonkind in general. It compels the
Discordant to prove, at every instance, that they are
the best at something. It can be a game,
dealmaking, or (most generally) combat.
The celestial should choose some stimulus, approved by
the GM, when they get a level of Hotshot. Whenever
either someone else demonstrates the least ability at
something, or they claim more than a beginner's
skill, the Discordant celstial must make a Will roll
minus the Skill level of the person they are accusing
(it's harder to resist a good challenge).
Furthermore, when engaged in a contest related to one
of their stimuli, the Hotshot must risk (-1 target,
+1 CD) with each action as they try to show off.
Insomniac (Ethereal)
This mostly appears among Blaindine and Beleth's
folks, although any Celestial who commonly frequents
the Marches is prone to bouts of Insomnia. Toss and
turn as they might, such celestials find it almost
impossible to get and stay asleep by willing it.
The Will check to get to sleep, the Song of Dreams,
and any roll made while in the Marches is at a penelty
equal to the level of the Discord!
As a note, this Discord usally accompanies Need
(Sleep).
Loud (Corporeal)
This Discord simply makes someone obnoxiously loud -
it's as if a microphone were on them at all times.
Even when they try to moderate themselves and be
quiet, they usally fail.
When the Celestial attempts to do anything in a quiet
or soothing fashion, they are at a penelty equal to
the level of Loud they possess. If they are trying to
be silent, or go unnoticed, double the penelty.
There is a much more rarely seen Celestial version
which causes any Disturbance created by the celestial
to be multiplied by the level of the Discord! The
least thing they do can easily be heard clear across
town.
Role Reversal (Celestial)
This particular discord is most commmonly imposed on
Celestials from their Superiors, as they try and teach
their prodigals to maintain their Role a bit better in
the future. It constricts a Celestial's supernatural
powers and prowess - but also enhances mundane skills
related to the Role the Celestial currently has.
Any supernatural power of the afflicted (including
resonances, attunements, Songs, activating artifacts-
anything a 5 forces human couldn't do) is at a
penalty equal to the level of Role Reveresal. Any
roll related to the celestial's current Role, however,
is at a bonus equal to Role Reversal.
