Rat Fungus Poison

Effect: victims gain one level of the condition Rapture unless they are Blessed Ones with Tradition (Nameless One). This condition cannot be reduced for the duration of the poisoning. Victims suffer a penalty to resist the temptations of the Nameless god as well as to all skill, spell, and liturgical checks that are contrary to the principles of the Nameless One. Each additional dose taken during the initial duration of the poison incurs an additional level of Rapture. At Rapture level II, the victim gains bonuses to skills which are pleasing to the Nameless One.

The skills that are pleasing to the Nameless One are: Persuasion, Religions, Law, Myths and Legends, Self Control, Fast-Talk, Stealth, and Disguise.

Victims that do not already worship the Nameless One suffer tempting visions, but can try to resist these seductive visions by making a Willpower (Resist Persuasion) check. In this case, Rapture is a detriment to the victim. / Victims begin to experience severe doubt and suffer penalties to resist the Nameless One. To resist conversion attempts, make a competitive check on Willpower (Persuasion vs. victim’s Resist Persuasion) with the applicable Rapture penalty. If successful, the victim still suffers nagging doubts until the duration ends and the levels of Rapture subside.
