devotions
Action: Refl exive
Any time the character wishes to observe, follow or examine something that moves too
quickly to follow with normal sight, the player may add +5 to a Wits + Composure test pool
while this Devotion is active. (Especially fast-moving or small items might impose a penalty of
-1 to -3 on the draw, at the Storyteller’s discretion, for a net +2 to +4 bonus.) Quicken Sight
lasts for the duration of a scene.
This power costs fi ve experience points to learn.
TOUCH OF DEPRIVATION (AUSPEX ••••, DOMINATE ••)
With a simple touch, the Kindred can temporarily shut down one of a victim’s fi ve senses.
This Devotion is most frequently used as a combat or interrogative tool to blind or deafen a
subject, but it can just as easily be used to negate one of the other senses. In fact, a vampire
who is immune to pain does not suffer wound penalties, so some Kindred have been known
to use this power on their allies in a crisis.
Cost: 1 Vitae
Test Pool: Intelligence + Medicine + Auspex versus Resolve + Blood Potency (if the subject
is unwilling)
Action: Contested; instant if the subject is willing
The character must touch the subject (see “Touching an Opponent” in the Mind’s Eye
Theatre rulebook, p. 217) or an unarmed attack might be made. Once contact is established,
the contested draw is made if the subject is resistant. If the player gets the most successes,
the vampire chooses which of the fi ve senses is negated. The victim goes blind, deaf or is
otherwise impaired. If an equal number of successes is drawn or the subject gets more, the
power has no effect. This effects of this power last for a scene. (See “Fighting Blind” in the
Mind’s Eye Theatre rulebook, p. 227.)
If the vampire possesses a higher Auspex than the subject, she may negate a supernatural
sense (such as The Spirit’s Touch), rather than one of the mundane fi ve.
This power costs 21 experience points to learn.
VERIDICAL TONGUE (DOMINATE ••, MAJESTY ••)
With this power, a character is able to sift through the tide of Kindred lies by rendering
one subject unable to speak anything but the entire truth as he knows it. Lies cannot escape
his mouth, nor is his tongue able to utter them. Targets may choose to remain silent, of
course, but when they speak, they simply can’t lie, even by omission. The subject must be in
the Discipline’s user’s presence when this power is invoked.
Cost: 1 Vitae
Test Pool: Presence + Subterfuge + Majesty – Composure
Action: Instant
If the draw is successful, the target must speak the truth for a number of minutes equal
to the successes gained. He may choose not to speak at all, but silence often equates to guilt
among the Kindred.
This power costs 12 experience points to learn.
