Visionary Dreams

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

Your character’s dreams can now range forward and backwards in time, providing hints of distant events and possible futures. Sometimes these dreams are of distant or long ago events that have no connection to your character, but often your character’s unconscious seeks out information about people and events that would be of interest to her.

All knowledge contained in these dreams contains a mixture of metaphor and whimsy and requires careful thought and interpretation to fully understand. However, your Changeling is always aware when she had had a visionary dream, since such dreams are always unusually vivid and easy to remember.

Most of the time, the Storyteller chooses whether your Changeling has a visionary dream and what the content will be.

To actively call upon this power, a Changeling must spend a Willpower point and roll Intelligence + Wits.

She must also have at least five hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Characters may not use this Merit more than once per day.

• Dramatic Failure: Your character has a normal dream about the character that your character mistakes for a visionary dream. The information in this dream is false and misleading, and represents only the Changeling’s hopes and fears and not any truth.

• Failure: Your Changeling fails to gain any insight from any dream.

• Success: Your Changeling has a dream that provides some clues about the subject of enquiry. One image, or clue, is provided per success. However, these clues come in the symbolism and imagery of dreams and almost always require some interpretation to be deciphered correctly.

• Exceptional Success: Per normal success, except the clues are significantly clearer and more obvious.

Suggested Modifiers

Dreams are independent of time and distance.

However, it is far easier to have a dream about a subject your character knows well than about a subject your character is barely familiar with.

Modifier

• +1 Your character has a very close connection with the location or individuals involved.
• -1 Your character has only a casual connection with the location or individuals involved.
