| - | Certain psy powers, narcotics, technologies or alien artefacts can induce emotional effects in sentient beings. These effects may be delivered by a referee, by another character using the EFFECT: call, indicated on a lammie or similar, and will influence how you roleplay. Unless you are able to resist them via a skill, special power or similar game effect, you must roleplay the effect. The effect may come with a duration, or may not. Unless otherwise specified, a roleplay effect will fade after 1 minute of being separated from its source. If delivered quickly, a roleplay effect may be preceded by the call “EFFECT:” to separate it from normal speech. If you RESIST a roleplay effect, you resist it for that instance only. Roleplay effects are not optional - if you are affected by one, you MUST respond to the effect. | + | Certain psy powers, narcotics, technologies or alien artefacts can induce emotional effects in sentient beings.
