Phobia - Presence

Presence 7

By talking to her victim, the Setite can instill an irrational fear of a certain object, substance, person or condition. The object of the phobia can be broad (cars) or very specific (pink '79 Fords) - although the victim must be able to recognize and distinguish what the vampire wants him to fear. The latter example, for instance, would not work on a person who was colorblind.

System: Implanting the Phobia requires success on a Manipulation + Intimidation roll (difficulty of the target's Courage + 3). A simple success confers a Phobia that lasts a single scene. Rolling more successes than the victim's Courage results in a Phobia that lasts indefinitely, although the victim may overcome the Phobia as if it were a Derangement.
