Bliss
PREREQUISITES
DESCRIPTION
Many Toreador claim their clan has escaped the curses that afflict the other clans, and that the trance they experience when observing artistic expression is the antithesis of the Beast’s rage and fury. You can recall the beauty and happiness of artistic experience to bolster your defenses against the irrational influences of your Beast.
SYSTEM
Spend 5 standard actions and enter a trance-like state while observing, listening to, or otherwise experiencing, a work of art or performance of at least Crafts 3 or Performance 3. Provided you are not interrupted during your trance, upon its conclusion you gain a supernatural resistance to your next frenzy trigger. You gain a free retest when resisting the effects of any power that would cause you to immediately enter a frenzy or to stave off a frenzy brought about by non-supernatural stimuli such as fire. This retest can be used before or after the normal Willpower retest and is an exception to the rule limiting retests to one per challenge. You may also give this benefit to another visible target who’s on the verge of frenzy. This does not cost an action and may be done outside of your initiative order. You may only have a single active instance of this power at a time. The effects of Bliss last until sunrise or until you spend the free retest.
