| === Agathodaímōn === | | === NPC Scene To-Do list === |
| NOTE: The text of this Legacy regularly refers to speaking to a subject to invoke certain effects, but the Agathodaímōn do not limit themselves to verbal communication and the attainments do not require that the subject understands the Mage, because the Exorcist interacts directly with the subject’s Goetia via magic, rather than her patient’s conscious mind or their body. Sign language, speaking in tongues, written communications, or even a musical playlist equally suffices, as long as the Exorcist conveys some message. Neither must the subject remain conscious. All other restrictions such as touch or sensory range still apply.
| | This is a list of NPC scenes I've received requests for via tickets. If you want to be on this list, please put in a ticket! I'm only including the name of the requesting character here, not the NPC the scene is with, both to make my life easier and for a bit of privacy about what people's PCs are getting up to. |

| | |
| === First: NAME ===
| |
| '''Prerequisites''': Initiation<br>
| |
| Agathodaímōn initiation brings the initiate in tune with the physical states of living things and the signs of things being wrong. She gains the ability to diagnose a living creature’s physical state with a glance. With physical contact and a round spent studying any living being, she determines a great deal about her patient: species, overall health, and specific illnesses from which the subject suffers. This works exactly like the spell Analyze Life (MtA 148), with reach assigned to Instant Casting.<br>
| |
| '''Optional''': Mind 1<br>
| |
| To determine the demons which haunt a patient, an Agathodaímōn must first gain an understanding of his mind. While talking with a subject, the Agathodaímōn gains an understanding of his mental state from what the patient says and what he omits. This functions as Mental Scan (MtA 159), with reach assigned to Instant Casting.
| |
| | |
| === Second: NAME ===
| |
| '''Prerequisites''': Life 2, Medicine 3<br> | |
| Not all of a person’s demons clamor within their mind. Sometimes they influence a person such that he brings about physical manifestations of their presence. These manifestations most commonly occur as addiction and self-harm via substances. The Agathodaímōn at this stage learns to address many symptoms of that influence, even if addressing the disease itself takes more intense work.<br>
| |
| By speaking directly to a patient along with a moment’s contact, the Exorcist purges the ill effects of many outside influences on the body. The patient clears alcohol, drugs, and any other toxins from his body through her influence and support. He immediately makes a roll to fight off the toxin’s effects with a bonus equal to the Exorcist’s dots in Life. This functions exactly as Cleanse the Body (MtA 148), with Reach assigned to Instant Casting and making the next resistance roll happen immediately.<br>
| |
| '''Optional''': Mind 2<br>
| |
| Demonic forces cannot escape the Exorcist’s gaze: she becomes sensitive to any openness to possession. Her Periphery detects the presence of any Influence and Manifestation Conditions, and her Active Mage Sight will let her see a connection between the subject of the condition and the ephemeral entity that it’s tied to if both are in sensory range. This ability works for any ephemeral beings that her other attainments can detect via her Periphery; with Mind 2 this works for Goetia, with Spirit 2 for spirits, and with Death 2 for ghosts. Should those forces attempt to hide from her, this attainment invokes a Clash of Wills.
| |
| | |
| === Third: NAME ===
| |
| '''Prerequisites''': Life 3, two dots in a prerequisite Skill other than Medicine<br> | |
| Much like the Agathodaímōn’s approach to dealing with the influence of foreign substances in a living body, she now mends the effects of invaders or the body’s betrayal of itself simply by speaking to them for a short time. This works like the spell Purge Illness (MtA 149), with Reach assigned to Instant Casting and Sensory Range.<br>
| |
| '''Optional''': Mind 3<br>
| |
| With only a slight effort of will, the Exorcist protects a subject, including herself, from attack by Goetia, or any other assault on her mind or that of her patients. This functions as Mental Shield (MtA 160), with Reach assigned to Instant Casting and Sensory range.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Fourth: NAME ===
| | In general I will try to do scenes in order, but if I'm free to run a scene and the next person on the list isn't around, I might skip ahead. It's never anything personal, I promise! |
| '''Prerequisites''': Life 4, Something 4<br>
| |
| A person’s figurative demons most commonly inflict damage upon his life, but, properly motivated, become sources of inspiration and even restoration. By speaking to someone’s demons for an hour, either directly or through conversation with the patient himself, the Exorcist encourages his Goetia to take some of the body’s burdens onto itself or to focus its energy on mending damage. All but the most grievous injuries heal four times faster: each level of bashing damage heals in 4 minutes, while each level of lethal damage heals in 6 hours. The subject’s Goetia assumes many of his bodily functions as well, and thus he requires only a quarter of his usual intake of food or oxygen and he must only sleep once every four days before beginning to suffer from fatigue. The Agathodaímōn confers the other benefits of Body Control (pp. MtA 148): the attainment functions precisely as this effect with Reach assigned to Advanced Duration and decreasing Lethal healing times.<br>
| |
| '''Optional''': Mind 4<br> | |
| By speaking with her patient for an hour the Agathodaímōn helps him battle his demons far more effectively than any Sleeper therapist could hope to achieve. While in certain cultural contexts this practice of the Legacy comes in the form of an exorcism, in Philadelphia it usually follows the form of a conversation with a concerned friend, a psychiatric session, or an intervention.
| |
| <br><br>
| |
| Via conversation and a momentary touch, the Exorcist lifts from her patient up to two Mental Conditions or Tilts. On the more sinister side, she can suppress positive effects as well as erase negative ones, dampening someone’s Inspiration or making him less Steadfast. This works like the spell Clear Thoughts (MtA 161) with Reach assigned to make the effect Lasting.

| === Fifth: NAME ===
| | # Titania |
| '''Prerequisites''': Life 5, two dots in a third Skill among the optional prerequisite Skills<br>
| |
| With mastery of this Legacy, the Agathodaímōn’s ability to heal others becomes legendary. She must still speak to the subject since she works through the mind’s influence on the body as well as the body directly. Her words heal any combination of up to 10 bashing or 5 lethal damage instantly: one lethal is equivalent to 2 bashing, so she can potentially heal, for example, 2 lethal and 6 bashing at one time. This functions as the spell Knit, with Reach assigned to Instant Casting, allowing Lethal damage to be healed. This attainment also heals Personal Tilts such as Arm Wrack.<br>
| |
| '''Optional''': Mind 5<br>
| |
| Rather than just manipulating a subject’s Goetia in unique and subtle ways without manifestation, the Agathodaímōn now draws those Goetia into the world, allowing them to be interacted with, and she can also call Goetia that are loose in the world to her. She can even call Goetia from her own, or her patient’s, Oneiros, and can give that entity a single command which it must follow providing that completion will take less than a week. This works on Goetia of up to Rank 4, and if used to pull Goetia from the target’s Oneiros, costs 1 potentia. If the Mage knows Spirit or Death 2, she may force the Goetia summoned with this attainment to be Manifested for the Duration of the spell.
| |
| <br><br>
| |
| This spell works like Goetic Summons (MtA 162), swapping the Primary factor to Potency from Duration. Reach is assigned to Instant Casting and Advanced Duration, allowing for one command, and permitting the Goetia to be summoned from the target’s Oneiros.
