The Prophet Your genius is not your own: You channel a stranger power. It comes in fits of vision and garbled commands. You're torn between your holy purpose and your scraps of an individual life.

To Freak Is Human

The fewer Feelings you have, the stronger the voices. At zero Feelings, it takes active effort to resist their priorities.

Peeps in the Chili

When you make an ordinary action lazy, absurd, pathetic, wildly unsuccessful, or gross, you feel alive and gain a Feeling.

I Am Speaking Directly into your Ear Now

Establish 1-5 goals imposed by the voices. The fewer there are, the more grandiose and urgent. Ex:

• Manifest them in the physical plane
• Infect everyone to ready their minds
• Build their cult using MLM tactics
• Construct an inexplicable, endless machine
• Consume Luna bars to maintain your connection
• Chase that squirrel
• Marry into power
• Kill The Gadgeteer

When one is fulfilled, replace it.

Giddy Up Little Dogie

When the voices are displeased, they can smite you with a Burden representing their grip on your mind. Ex:

• You can't see color
• You want to eat anything
• Your feet try to take you in the right direction
• You can't understand your allies' speech
• You acquire OCD patterns
• You feel drunk

If you actively defy the voices, take a Burden. If you go a whole scene without advancing their goals, they clear one Feeling if you have any, and if not, give you a Burden. When you do progress the goals, these Burdens evaporate.

With Jesus as my Copilot

When attempting a Move, you can let the voices take the wheel. Instead of a Stat, roll plus the number of Feelings you don't have.

Call on a Paradoxic Power

You can't Analyze / Research. You don't know what the hell any of this means.

Instead, when you seek knowledge outside your means, say how you contact the voices, and roll plus your number of Feelings, aiming low.

What do you experience when they pump info into your lobes? What toll does it take?

10+: Really? Now they grow distant? Well, what's your best fragile guess at what they were hinting at? Time to do this alone.

7-9: In a frazzle of information, you can make out one shard:

• What you're doing wrong
• What is hidden inside
• How a person is changing
• A winding chain of cause and effect
• A moment of the past or future in this spot
• A bad end
• Partial implications of a choice

6-: They come through painfully clear. You understand precisely how to advance their goals. You do not understand precisely what it will cost.

Puppet Emmissary

When you Befriend the Strange on behalf of the voices: Do you try to hide their influence? Does the target have more in common with the voices or you?

When you Befriend the Strange on behalf of yourself: What piece of you shines through? What piece is dulled and muffled by your situation? Can they relate to this, or does it make them uncomfortable?

Cognitohazard

When you Work Together, your partner is partially infected with the voices until the next time they have 4+ Feelings. While infected, they are subject to some of the Prophet special features, whatever seems appropriate.

You Reject my Reality

Once per scene, just to fuck around, you may decide out-of-character that one event or circumstance was only The Prophet's delusion. Rewind, and the other players establish what their characters were seeing all along.
