Animalism 8

All Cainites know of the terrible power of the Beast and of what havoc it can wreak if let loose. With Unchain the Ferocious Beast, a master of Animalism can do just that, letting the Beast run amok in the body that it inhabits, inflicting terrible damage. The target of this power erupts with wounds that look like they have come from some dire beast; anyone looking at the target is horrified to witness such ravages.

System: Unchain the Ferocious Beast requires eye contact. It works on ghouls and Cainites; it also affects Lupines, using the rage and anger of these savage warriors against them. The player spends three blood points and rolls Manipulation + Intimidation, with a difficulty equal to the target's Self-Control/Instincts +4 (for Lupines, who have better control of their Beasts, the difficulty is Willpower + 3, maximum 10). Each success translates into a level of aggravated damage. Botching this roll turns the user's own Beast against him, inflicting one aggravated health level of damage per 1 rolled.
