Effect
Removal requires no roll but inflicts two Aggravated Health damage that cannot be mitigated; returning the heart costs two Rouse Checks. While it is separate, gain two dice against frenzy and lose two dice on Remorse rolls. Staking your body no longer works, but staking the heart paralyzes you. Aggravated damage to the heart equal to your Health causes torpor; destruction of it by fire or sunlight causes Final Death. Your body remains vulnerable to fire and sunlight. Blood fed to the heart slakes Hunger normally and can create a Blood Bond; feeding from it can permit diablerie.
