The Thirst

You need (1+Corruption Bonus) Pain Tokens per day to maintain your youth. You age rapidly without them, a week for every Token missed. This is why the Ancients spend all their time in the Theatres of Pain, they need tremendous amounts of pain to maintain even their advanced ages. You can reduce your need for pain by allowing yourself to age or take permanent losses to Characteristics as She Who Thirsts tears pieces of you away forever. The Dark Kin are a superficial bunch, only the Covens value hideousness, there are social penalties for letting yourself age, they are doubled when interacting with Wyches.

Excess Pain Tokens stay with you and grant you extraordinary prowess, though they fade quickly. The memory of the Dark Kin is accute, however, so even after the physical effects fade they can use the remembered sensations to stave off The Thirst. The physical effects fade at (1+CB) Tokens per hour but you can credit half of them toward days of denying The Thirst. Points under the lower of your Toughness or Willpower Bonus may be credited normally.


Power From Pain

You may hold no more excess than the lower of your Toughness or Willpower, all further points are lost.

Power From Pain (If you already have an Unnatural Characteristic granted by Power from Pain you instead increase your own Trait by +1 for each instance on the table where you get an additional increase.)
