Malkavian Histories Questions

[spectre_of_woe]

For a Malkavian, I'm confused about some of their histories.

Completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ says that your dementation effects are greater and last longer. I can understand lasting longer, but, except for rank 2, I'm confused as to what a greater effect would do.
Subtly Insane says that my dementia can flare up in combat. Would my whispers get louder, or do I frenzy, or something else?
Occult Nut says that people's reactions to me will be lowered. Would people always treat me as if I just insulted them?
Deaf says that lady luck will smile on me. What is that? Also, if I pick that history, would I have sound in my game?

I can't answer #1 and #2. #3 likely means you'll need a higher Persuasion and/or Seduction score to get those dialogue options. #4 I'm not sure what the luck is. Maybe more skill dots in certain things. You should still have sound, but I don't think I've ever played that history. I highly doubt the history mutes all dialogue or sound though as that'd make the game pretty boring.

Dementation duration 200%, Dementation damage 140%.

Sadly nothing like that, but comments from Troika indicate that they intended to have you hallucinations during combat!

Occult Nut says that people's reactions to me will be lowered. Would people always treat me as if I just insulted them?

That may be like it was planned. There is a disabled section called "Reaction (Occult Nut)"
"Modifier" "+1"...

Deaf says that lady luck will smile on me. What is that?

You have sound and luck is another thing that was never implemented and can't be restored as comments indicate: //// Deafness? (-Perception?) //// Luck modifier?

Thanks. What is dementation damage, does it have any effect on the ranks other than mass hallucination?

[Wesp5]

I don't really know, but I think Dementation does damage to supernaturals that are resistent...

If you choose this one, you will not be able to raise your charisma above 3. That being said, I have recently finished a playthrough with this history and all interactions were normal, I was even able to use persuasion and seduction in the occasions in which they were high enough, so no, I don't think it affects your dialogue at all.

Yeah, Vision of Death and some other dementation powers do not instantly kill supernatural enemies. In such an event, it will do 140% and probably kill them anyways.

Weird for me supernatural things just schrug of the spells with no harm. No matter how much i spam them. (First level demention spell works though)
