Everything

A curse has rendered you unable to lie. It may even compel you to speak the truth when you struggle to remain silent. Worse still, you tend to say things that later turn out to be true even if you hadn’t known anything about them at the time. (“Don’t try and score food from that guy over there – he’s got a gun and is having a really bad day.”) You often get a certain “look” when the urge to speak truth comes up, and folks who know you have begun to recognize the signs of a forthcoming “honesty blast” before you even open your mouth.

Life and Mage chronicles are both filled with times when it’s best to keep a lid on the truth. And so, in order to avoid saying speaking the proverbial inconvenient truth (or worse), you need to spend a Willpower point to keep your mouth shut about it. Repressing that truth may also cost you one health level in bashing damage if the truth you’re clamping down on is one of those “things that really must be said” which isn’t a smart thing to say under the circumstances. (“Yeah, Agent Courage, everybody knows you work every angle with every group – that’s not exactly a ‘secret,’ now is it?”)
