Fist of the Titans

Potence 7

With this power, a Cainite may either disdainfully push away an opponent or, with a little more effort, send her flying away with a powerful blow. First of the Titans can be used both as an attack in itself, with a seemingly gentle push, as well as in combination with a normal attack, though it is easier to focus the force when using the power on its own.

System: In order to simply push an opponent away, the character must shove the target, possibly requiring a Dexterity + Brawl roll to hit. The player then rolls Strength + Athletics, with a difficulty of the target’s Stamina + Athletics (unmodified by Fortitude, maximum difficulty 9). Each success sends the target backward one yard and she is automatically knocked to the ground at the end. Should the victim hit something (or someone), both she and it take damage as if she had fallen the same distance.

Using Fist of the Titans as part of a melee attack requires the use of a blood point as the weapon connects. The target is hurled back one foot for every health level of damage inflicted by the blow, before soak is rolled, +2 feet if the attack was with a bashing or smashing weapon and –2 if it was piercing, hacking or slashing. The target must roll Dexterity + Athletics to remain standing. Hitting an obstacle is handled as above.
