•• REVELATION
The allure and reassurance of a Kindred with this power is enough to make others forgo
caution and share their innermost feelings and secrets. A few complimentary or compassionate
words or a heartfelt look from the vampire can break down a person’s prudence and
fear, inspiring a desire to share deep feelings or dark secrets in an upwelling of affection or
release. This power can only be used in fairly intimate situations. A target could not be made
to confess in front of an entire room full of people, but would very easily spill his guts to a
small group in a secluded corner booth.
A target must be engaged in some kind of voluntary social contact with the vampire for
this Discipline to be effective. While it might cause an evasive target to speak more plainly
about a certain subject, it cannot wring a confession out of a target who’s deliberately avoiding
conversation or staying silent. Of course, the vampire may still use her natural talents or
other Disciplines to try to draw a target into conversation so she can invoke this power, but
that’s another matter entirely.
