Raw Blame History

Extracting information, whether through pressure or rapport.

Tier 1 (Interrogation 1+)

  • Good Cop Mark a die as Persistent; on success, remove 1 Slight from a target and lower their resistance.
  • Bad Cop Inflict 1 Slight when you frame questions as veiled threats.
  • Rapid Questioning You may roll Inquire instead of Interrogation during the first 10 minutes of an interrogation.

Tier 2 (Interrogation 2+)

  • Break the Mask Once per scene, you may force a target to roll Spirit vs your Presence; failure = +2 Slights.
  • Pattern of Truth Mark a die as Effectful; on success, detect inconsistencies in a story and exploit them.
  • Informant Network (Interrogation/Streetwise) You may recruit low-level informants in a community for +1 die to future rolls.

Tier 3 (Interrogation 3+)

  • Condition Response Once per session, set a trigger word or gesture; the target must answer truthfully when its used.
  • Persistent Pressure You may stack Slights from interrogation twice as fast.
  • Rapid Turnaround You may complete a full interrogation in half the time.

Tier 4 (Interrogation 4+)

  • Truth Breaker Once per session, force a target to reveal 1 deep secret (counts as automatic success).
  • Convert the Captive If you build rapport during interrogation, you may create a temporary Bond with the target.
  • Mental Chains You may instill a lasting fear of you; target suffers 1 die to resist you in future scenes.
