Editing Talk:Genius The Transgression/Chapter Two: Character Creation (section)

===Decadence (Mild)===

Your character's past sense of decorum and social grace, no matter how limited or primitive it might have been, is now perceived to be laughably naIve, the province of fools. He has few scruples about how to behave in public and what it is acceptable to say or do. Whenever he has won a great social victory (as defined by the Storyteller, or if an exceptional success is rolled on any Social-related roll) or suffered a humiliating social defeat (as with a victory, except when a dramatic failure is rolled), make a reflexive Resolve + Composure roll.

'''Effect:''' Failure means your character loses all sense of proportion and will say the most nasty things to others and engage in ridiculous activities in public, such as walking around naked or buying expensive champagne for every one in the room even if it's beyond his means. He becomes, in effect, the worst sort of drunk, although he might not have had a single drop to drink. Celebrities have ruined their careers through lesser deeds than what the character will now attempt.

For now, however, his excesses are mainly verbal -- he is under no compunction to act against others. He might humiliate himself, but he won't force his decadent behavior onto others. If he progresses in this derangement, however, reaching the severe stage of Depravity, all bets are off.
