This particularly odd Discord usually manifests itself
among those who have been subjected to some sort of
oddity in the space-time continuum, but has been known
to occur in those who have somehow managed to combine
the smashing of one's Heart and an Intervention.
Either kind.
A Phazed Out celestial will find himself perpetually
out of step with whatever plane he or she (never it:
Shedim and Kyriotates don't get to have this Discord)
is currently on. They retain a full sensorium and can
somehow be seen and heard. However, they cannot be
affected by any other means. Attacks, Songs,
Resonances, Attunements - nothing. Neither may they
affect anyone else - including other Phazed Out
Celestials - with one exception (see below).
The secondary effects vary from plane to plane:
On the corporeal plane, The Phazed Out may not use
Tethers.
On the ethereal plane, Phazed Out individuals are
incapable of ever entering a dreamscape.
On the Celestial plane, Phazed Out individuals do not
regenerate Essence at all.
There is also one universal advantage to being Phazed
Out: items that are normally insubstantial to others
(such as being in vesselspace, Scabbarded or corporeal
objects on the celestial plane) are never
insubstantial to them. They neither steal vessels
(not that they really need to) nor damage them, but
'carried' items are not so fortunate.
As one might note, being Phazed Out is a Renegade's
Dream - for a while, at least. Only a Superior can
get to you (and they don't like being Summoned just to
stamp on a nuisance as petty as yourself), you can
pretty much go anywhere you like and make obscene
gestures to anybody you like. Admittedly, only Djinn
seem to be able to handle it for too long, but there's
something to be said for following around particularly
uptight angels for a while and making their lives a
living Hell through snide commentary. After all, it's
not like they can shut you up...
Reaction modifiers: -1/level, demons (you're a
slacker); -2/level, Renegades (you're a subject for
sheer envy); -3/level, angels and Servitors of the
Game (you're a royal, LOUD pain in the posterior);
don't even bother rolling, Servitors of the Sword with
the Scabbard Attunement (they'll be too busy
preemptively Summoning their Archangel to go medieval
on your buttocks - he just may, too).
