Animalism 6

This power works similarly to Cowing the Beast, save that the Cainite using it subdues the passion and individuality of a whole group of mortals or animals simultaneously with the power of his own Beast. It does not work against Cainites, though it does affect ghouls. As many as 20 targets may be affected by this ability at once, as long as all involved can see the character.

System: Roll Strength + Intimidation (difficulty 7). This is an extend test: You may accumulate as many successes as your target has temporary Willpower. You cow any target whose Willpower you exceed with successes - as soon as you have rolled 5 successes, all targets with a Willpower of 5 or less are subdued. Failing your roll means that you have to begin accumulating successes again from 0, but your victims do not become free. A botch not only sets your victims free of the quelling, but sends them into a frenzy, howling for your blood.

Those cowed with Quell the Herd behave and free themselves in the same manner as those affected by Cowing the Beast.
