Regnant

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

While many ghouls are little more than unquestioning slaves, your character enjoys the benefit of a special relationship with her regnant, which goes beyond the simple master-servant boundary. Your character can rely on her regnant to provide information, extra Vitae, equipment or even to personally intervene on her behalf. Conversations with your character’s regnant might be genuine interpersonal dialogue rather than the simple dispensation of orders, and you might even find him turning to your character for true companionship.

The advantages of this Merit are split into three factors — power, favor and trust. Players who choose this Merit must also choose how to allocate these three factors when spending points. For instance, the first dot might go toward Regnant Power with two more going toward Regnant Favor. Each one of these characteristics has a limit of five dots, and the fifth dot costs two dots to purchase.

• Power - A ghoul with a powerful regnant finds that her dealings with local Kindred and their ghouls are, while not simple, at least a bit easier. Your character gains a bonus to their dice pool equal to the number of dots they have in Regnant on Socialize, Persuasion and Intimidation rolls whenever in conflict with another Ghoul or Kindred.

• Favor - Regnant Favor reflects the master’s willingness to provide her ghoul access to Vitae, resources and equipment. Each dot of Regnant Favor could reflect an additional hit of Vitae (one at a time) that a ghoul may request from her regnant per month without risking his wrath. Alternatively, Regnant Favor could be used in place of Resources to determine whether a ghoul can afford to secure equipment.

• Trust - Regnant Trust is a measure of the extraordinary quality of the relationship your character enjoys with her regnant. Each dot of Regnant Trust confers a +1 die bonus on Persuasion rolls in dealings between your character and her regnant.
