Proper goth poetry may only be produced by someone with Incompetence (Poetry).
It serves as justification for either Secret (Goth Poet), at any level depending on how truly awful the poetry in question is (yes, that explicitly includes possible exile or death), or Odious Personal Habit (Goth Poet) at up to -2. It also justifies Compulsion (Spout Goth Poetry). Obviously, it should be used to justify Enemies as well. In some more enlightened places, Goth poets are hunted for sport.
Used offensively (is there any other way?), it qualifies as an Affliction (Area Effect 4 (16 yards), +200%; Bad Temper, +10%; Based on Will, +20%; Dissipation, -50%; Emanation, -20%; Moderate Pain, +20%; Nuisance Effect, -3 to reactions, -15%; Requires Concentration, -15%; Sense-based (Hearing), +50%; Secondary Agony, +20%; Secondary Berserk, +5%; Uncontrollable, -20%) (+205%) [30.5/level]. Yes, this is a sound-based mental attack that can cause pain, agony, foul temper and berserk rage that can affect everyone within 16 yards and periodically goes off on its own. Note that the Bad Temper and Berserk will be focused on the alleged poet.
This may be part of why people accuse me of being a horror GM.
