"I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it! Let's do it!"
-Peter Venkman, Ghostbusters
Imagine what would happen if the boy from The Sixth Sense grew up to form his own "ghostbusting" organization and you're on the right track. Rather than destroying or capturing ghosts, though, projectors seek to understand and communicate with them... mostly.

- Projectors, while not projecting: One per hour
- Projectors, while projecting: Skimmers must spend 1 Vitality per hour or take 1 unsoakable bashing
- Ghosts: One per eight hours
- Someone else gives you some (this attracts Spectres)
- Spend 1 Willpower to gain 3 Vitality
- Tap Spite points: gain 1 Vitality per point tapped; roll (points tapped) vs 7, each failed die (2-6) = gain 1 point, each botched die (1) = gain 2 points
- Tap Spite rating: equivalent to tapping 10 times as many Spite points
- Steal some using Thievery
- Help a ghost move on
ICly losing Spite:
- Sleepers can get rid of points by converting them to bashing damage and then healing it. (Orpheus 96)
