Howling Void Arrow

  Cost: 2 motes
  Duration: Instant
  Type: Supplemental
  Minimum Archery: 3
  Minimum Essence: 2
  Prerequisite Charms: Bloodthirsty Arrow

An arrow enhanced with this charm shrieks through the air with a maddening bloodthirsty howl that can be dimly heard miles away and is ear splitting from closer up. An archery roll enhanced with this charm can be made out to the extreme range of the bow at no penality, the fury of the Void propelling the arrow onward toward living essence. This extreme range is equal to three times the weapons Range Increment.

Any mortal that hears this arrows passage has to make a Valor roll (difficulty 2 for Extras, if you feel like rolling at all). On a failure the mortal feels distinctly ill at ease and desires to retreat to some safe place, bar his door, and shutter his windows. Heroic mortals can choose to spend a willpower to ignore this suggestion, but remain at a -1 dice penality for most actions requiring mental concentration for the rest of the scene. Even a success results in the mortal being somewhat jumpy and upset.
