This is a character class that has questions of consent buried right in the heart of it. You’re the character class who is most likely to prompt an X card, especially if you start to use your emotional control abilities on an unwilling character.

If you want to try and influence another character, you roll a dice pool including your D4 (see next section). Note the results solemnly, and ceremonially pass the D4 to the affected player.

These emotions, while magically created, are real.

The Dictator is incredibly powerful. That’s the problem. While other characters struggle to gain enough successes, the Dictator’s problem is ensuring their powers actually do what they want them to do. | The Dictator is incredibly powerful.

While your Emotional Control is a Charisma dice pool, it is NOT calculated like normal. The number on the D4 is the number of successes. Each other success you roll in the dice pool allows you to modify that, with each success allowing you to increase or decrease by one. You don’t need to use all your successes. | While your Emotional Control is a Charisma dice pool, it is NOT calculated like normal. The number on the D4 is the number of successes.

Someone’s emotional resistance is measured by their Willpower. Willpower is double a character’s Wisdom, so an average character has 4. In a combat situation, you’ll need to match their Willpower to permanently remove them from the combat, one way or another. | Someone’s emotional resistance is measured by their Willpower.

A character with high Willpower will not be entirely overcome unless you match or exceed their Willpower in successes, but they will certainly be influenced by the emotion. The stronger the emotion, the bigger the effect. | A character with high Willpower will not be entirely overcome unless you match or exceed their Willpower in successes, but they will certainly be influenced by the emotion.

The final number of successes is intensity. It’s rated on this scale. You may note the Emotion Knight player also uses this scale. | The final number of successes is intensity. It’s rated on this scale. You may note the Emotion Knight player also uses this scale. | ||

If it matches or exceeds a target’s Willpower, in terms of effect, anything beyond 6 is very much in the GM’s control. Expect fireworks. Like all creators, while you can aim to have a certain effect on an audience, the audience will respond in their own way. | If it matches or exceeds a target’s Willpower, in terms of effect, anything beyond 6 is very much in the GM’s control.

If a Dictator has possession of their D4, and is in a situation where any subtle emotional manipulation may give them an edge, they may roll the D4 as part of their dice pool. The D4, rather than counting as a dice, can be used to increase any one dice in the dice pool by the amount the D4 rolls. It’s cute to imagine the D4 on top of the Dice you’re boosting, like a little hat. | If a Dictator has possession of their D4, and is in a situation where any subtle emotional manipulation may give them an edge, they may roll the D4 as part of their dice pool.
