===Sanguinary Animism (Mild)===

This delusion grows out of a blood bather's fundamental awareness of guilt about murdering mortals for their blood. Characters with this delusion believe they take part of a victim's mind or soul along with her blood. For hours after the Ritual, the character hears his victim's voice in his head, berating him, begging for mercy or making demands. The blood bather even experiences ersatz memories from his victim's life, all concocted by the character's unconscious mind, but seeming very real. Weak-willed or especially guilt-stricken blood bathers might even carry out actions on behalf of their victims.

'''Effect:''' Whenever a sanguinary animist kills a mortal, the player rolls Intelligence + Composure. If the roll succeeds, the imaginary voice and memories of the victim torment the character for the rest of the night, but the character can function adequately. If the roll fails, the images in the character's mind are so strong that the other personality can influence the character's actions. The angry victim-personality usually means to harm the character, but the blood bather might "buy off" the victim's voice by doing something he imagines the victim would like.
