The Target is infused with a strange vitality, increasing its
Body by 1 and granting an
ADV
Contesting Rolls against effects that cause
Exhausted.
However, this increased Body comes at the cost of leaching away the target’s lifespan in order to increase its physical prowess. Every time the
Target uses its
Body
Ability for anything –
Attack,
Skill Rolls etc. – the
Target ages 1 year if it fails a
Body
Contesting Roll. Every 50 years the
Target ages, it gains an additional 1 points of
Body.
If the Curse is removed, its
Body returns to its normal value, and then the
Target immediately loses a number of points of
Body,
Body, and
Body equal to the extra points of
Body score it had when the
Curse ended. If this reduces the target’s
Body to -6 it is
Dead.
You feel your muscles swell with unnatural power, veins bulging and skin tightening. Each use of your strength sends a jolt through your body, visibly aging you as the curse siphons away your life force.
