Editing Lydia Maples, esq. (section)

== The Curse ==

'''Entanglement:''' 1

'''Curse Dice:''' 1/5

===Damnation===
The Hungry must feed upon other people to sustain herself. Whenever she holds 0 curse dice, she feels the damned hunger overcome her and must consume the sustenance dictated by her Family within this scene. The character cannot cast spells and cannot regain curse dice in any way other than by resolving her Damnation. If she fails to feed in the scene where she bled her last curse die, she gains the ''Deprived'' status effect, taking 1 injury each time the Deprived Complication isn’t bought off. At this point, hunger is the only thing that drives her, and she must feed in the next scene or is Taken Out.

'''Resolution''': She must feed as per her Major Path hunger . Upon doing so, she gains 1 curse die. If feeding makes things inconvenient for the Hungry’s crew, she gains ''1 Momentum'' as well.

The Hungry must partake of a human (mundane or supernatural) to fulfill their cravings. If the subject of the hunger is a willing target, unconscious, or unable to resist, no rolls are needed.

Otherwise, the character must take an action (dictated by her Major Path) against her victim’s Defense or Integrity with a Complication level based on her Entanglement (1-4 Minor, 5-7 Moderate, 8-20 Major). If she succeeds, she consumes what she needs and gains 1 curse die. If she fails to buy off the Complication, she barely staves off her Damnation, and immediately drops to 0 held curse dice at the start of the next scene

'''House Báthory''' hunger to bathe in human blood. The Báthorite need not climb into a bath for this process but must have most of their body (clothed or unclothed) coated in fresh, unspoiled human blood, which is soaked into the Hungry at the end of the scene. Victims suffer the ''Bleeding'' status effect.

Báthorites make their action using a melee attack action against the target’s Defense or Integrity and gain access to the following Trick:
'''Bloodletting''' (1 hit): The Báthorite removes one negative status effect or heals a one injury.

===Inheritance===
When you are suffering from any status effect, you gain a new resolution condition that you can engage in to remove it.

After you cover your face and hands in blood, the status effect resolves. You can resolve one status effect this way once per session. The blood must cover your face and hands, but it can be rubbed, sprayed, daubed, or dipped to achieve the effect.

Bleeding 1 curse die, you can perform this action a further time in the same session, but upon a character other than yourself.

===Torments===

'''Accursed Torment'''
''Take What’s Mine'': The Hungry rule by birthright. They’re eternal nobility, one and all. A character with this torment recognizes that everything is hers. When she succumbs, there’s no item, good, or service that she believes she cannot have. She demands the attention and service of others and takes anything she should own. It’s not stealing, it’s claiming one’s royal due. (The authorities may feel differently.)

'''Personal Torment'''
Allow no act of humiliation or bullying to go unanswered.
