Chill of the Windsaber

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

Level 7.

This ritual enables the vampire Thaumaturgist to create a sheet of telekinetic force so thin and so accurate that it can decapitate anyone toward whom the vampire points his finger. The effects of this ritual are additionally terrifying because all the viewers see is the head separating from the body. The effects of this ritual are deadly to almost any creature with a head, including vampires. The Thaumaturgist must make a Perception + Firearms roll (difficulty 8) to target the windsaber. The victim does get a slim chance to avoid the effect by making a single success on a simple roll using Dexterity + Empathy (difficulty 9). A one-inch by two-inch piece of thin, clear glass is required. It must be snapped in two by the Thaumaturgist for the ritual to activate. The vampire casting the ritual does not have to see the target, but must know where she is.
