Finger String

Cult of Personality

Dominate the Rube

You can use Dominate the Room on an individual person in an intimate context.

You can Analyze / Research with Sociology.

Befriend the Normal

When you engage with mainstream society, choose a role, such as:

• Sexy influencer
• Trustworthy peer
• Authority figure

• Invisible servant

What insight lets you sell it? What must you hide or forego? What makes it fun?

Then roll plus Sociology.

10+: Come up with an important and enticing person on whom you have a String.

7-9: How did you almost get busted?

6-: You have to maintain a negative Asset for the ruse. Ex:

• Restrictive costume
• Silence
• Playing dumb
• Hanging onto a lover
• Blocking psionic probes
