From The World Is A Vampire
Jump to: navigation, search
Phantasmagoria

Description: The vampire concentrates on the victim, who finds themselves contemplating something in their lives. A wife might concentrate on rearranging her furniture, a business man might focus on how whether his cash register is balanced. The distraction allows the vampire to walk away, or do some other innocuous behavior without the victim noticing. Violent or threatening behavior will break the abstraction.

System:The vampire rolls Manipulation + Willpower, with the difficulty being the willpower of the target. Each success increases the time the victim is distracted.
