Celerity 7

Description: Calling upon her preternatural speed, a Kindred using this power appears to undertake several actions at once, "flickering" from one action to the net. This is particularly useful in combat, as one's foe cannot guess which of the actions he perceives is the one with which the character follows through. The character seems to be a dervish while this power is in effect, beginning countless feints, dodges and parries.

System: The player spends a Blood Point to activate this power in addition to any spent on other Celerity. For the turn in which the character calls upon this power, she may add her full Celerity rating to her Dodge, Block or Parry pool. This power may also be distributed among multiple actions - a character with this power can use it in a succession of Dodges, moving too fast for the eye to perceive, much like the fluttering of a hummingbird's wings.
