* '''Violent Tendencies''': As Tranquility fails, the more monstrous side of the Leviathan's nature becomes more difficult to resist. A Leviathan with Tranquility 5 or 6 suffers no penalty. At Tranquility 3 or 4, the Leviathan suffers a -1 penalty to all checks to return to a more human form and to resist an Outburst. At Tranquility 1 or 2, this increases to -2. A Typhon or Ophion simply ''cannot'' attempt to return to a more human shape. | * '''Violent Tendencies''': As Tranquility fails, the more monstrous side of the Leviathan's nature becomes more difficult to resist.

| − | * ''' | + | * '''Afflcictions''': A descending Tranquility results in Derangements, which might be accompanied by the Leviathan developing an Affliction. An Affliction is a physical or behavioral marker, some minor or major alteration of the body, which is present in all of the Leviathan's forms. Each Affliction is tied to a Derangement and has the same severity. Should a Derangement increase or decrease in severity, or be removed, the Affliction is altered appropriately - a more serene mind can reassert control over its body. A mild Affliction, if apparent, imposes a -1 penalty on social rolls. A severe Affliction imposes a -3 penalty. Cultists are not so squeamish - it is only interaction with the outside world that is impeded. |
** ''Example mild Afflictions'': Blood is black, hands and feed slightly webbed, hunchbacked, breath smells of fish, underarms marked with suckers, protruding eyes | ** ''Example mild Afflictions'': Blood is black, hands and feed slightly webbed, hunchbacked, breath smells of fish, underarms marked with suckers, protruding eyes | ||
