You are what you eat

When you take a bite of someones flesh… 

What happens? It should either give you some power over them or make you become a bit more like them. The first would be a string but that is not as interesting. Not sure on how to do the second effect.

  1. What about the “hypnotic” Skinner move setup for the power?

    When you take a bite of someones flesh roll+cold: 10+ hold 3, 7-9 hold 1.

    You can spend this hold to give them -1 to a roll even if you are not present, or to inflict them 1 damage.

    They can spend your hold by doing something for you.

    The second:

    When you take a bite of someone flesh you become a little like them.

    Swap a point between two of your stats (this means, raise one, drop another) to reflect this.

  2. Roll +dark. On a hit, the MC will give you two moves based on the person you ate from, MC style moves, things you can just do. To do them, spend a string on the person you ate from. On a 10+, get a string on the person for your trouble, too. 

    For example, when you eat from the high school quarterback, maybe you get the moves outrun them and take someone down, or whatever.

  3. Ezio Melega, the problem there is that nowhere else in Monsterhearts is hold a thing. The only thing like hold in MH is Strings. Not that that stops you from adding it, but,  y’know, just stuff to think of.

  4. How about just ignoring hold, and using strings? When you eat someone’s flesh, you get two moves, three on a 10+, spend strings on them to use them.
