Description

Invented by a deranged Bone Gnawer Theurge, the Ugly Stick causes the victim's appearance to become, well, ugly. For every success on the activation roll the difficulty on all social rolls increase on a one for one basis. For the effect to work the character must hit the intended victim with the Ugly Stick.

The duration is determined by the character's Gnosis.

1	15 seconds (3 turns)
2	30 seconds (6 turns)
3	1 minute (12 turns)
4	2 minutes (24 turns)
5	1 hour (1 scene)
6	2 hours (2 scenes)
7	8 hours (1 night)
8	24 hours (1 day)
9	One week
10	Permanent

For example, Bobby the Bone Gnawer is mad at Sussane the Silver Fang. So, Bobby hits Sussane with his Ugly Stick. He rolls activation and gets 3 successes, and his Gnosis is 5. So for one hour or scene, whichever comes first, Sussane¹s Difficultly for all social roll is at +3)

A Trickster spirit or a Rat spirit must be bound to create this fetish.
