Predators Innocence

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

A wolf does not degenerate when it kills its prey; likewise, the Thyrsus mage doesn’t suffer when she makes a clean and natural killing. A character with this Merit does not need to make degeneration rolls for simple killing, especially in self-defense. If the mage shows particular malice, if she tortures the subject before killing him or if she kills for morally questionable reasons, then the Storyteller might rule that a degeneration check is necessary.

Note that just because the mage’s Wisdom doesn’t suffer doesn’t make killing right or acceptable by society’s standards, and a mage who makes a habit of killing will have other consequences to worry about.

If the Storyteller judges that the player is just using this Merit as an excuse to have his character kill wantonly, the Storyteller is free to take this Merit away.
