Psychotics and Terminal Spirit Disease

Typically, characters that contract Terminal Spirit Disease quickly die from it or learn the Silencer question from a Haunted. A strange thing happens when a Psychotic contracts Terminal Spirit Disease, however.

Every time his TSD exponent increases, a Psychotic gains one of the following traits:
Symbiote, Numb, Life is Death, Pain Life, Unrelenting Savagery (Replace Hatred with TSD), Cannibal

Once the character has all of the traits he becomes, for all intents and purposes, a member of the swarm. If not fed by a Vulture (and most psychotics are not), he will instinctively gravitate toward the nearest settlement of Meek and attempt to satisfy his spiritual hunger by eating the flesh of the Meek. It does not work.

Psychotics who have made the change are somehow able to smell the Terminal Spirit Disease infection and will ignore anyone who may be infected with it.
