Confusion

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

The Cainite may cloud her victim's senses just by concentrating on the Target. The target loses all sense of time, cannot recall most of his memories, and generally wanders aimlessly until the confusion lifts. The victim often allows himself to be "aided" during this time; this tractableness can lead to a gruesome fate.

System: The vampire must meet her victim's gaze and speak to him, while the player rolls Manipulation + Subterfuge (difficulty equal to the target's Perception + survival). The duration depends on the level of success.
