Fearsome Strikes

A specialty of the Lasombra and Giovanni Clans, this Discipline technique allows a vampire to strike such fear into his foes that their defenses against his physical attacks are greatly reduced. ⚠ </br> System: The vampire makes a Manipulation + Intimidation roll (difficulty of the target's Willpower) and expends 1 blood point. For one round per success, the target of this power has their dice pools reduced by the user's Manipulation rating when defending against attacks from the user of this power. Invoking this power takes an action.

Roll Manipulation + Performance (diff = Target's Intelligence + 5) resisted by the target's Wits + Subterfuge (diff 7) roll. If you win the contest, the target will perceive you to be a vampire in your line of sight. To the target, that vampire also takes on your appearance. This power lasts for one scene.

Stunning Awe

Required Powers: Dominate 2 & Presence 2⚠ </br> Cost: 14 XP

Temporarily incapacitate a target with your gaze.⚠ </br> System: Roll Manipulation + Intimidation (diff = target's WP).

If the number of successes is greater than the target's Wits, the duration is measured in minutes instead of turns. This power cannot affect vampires of lower Generation. If the target feels pain during the effect, they can attempt to shake it off. They roll Willpower (diff 7), with each success reducing the penalty by 1 die. This roll can only be made once per turn.
