Command Obedience

Dominate 6

This power allows a master of Dominate to forgo the normal requirement of Dominate: eye contact. Instead, the wielder may Dominate a victim using a slight touch or, with more effort, her voice. This power is known to be ancient and is a favorite among Lasombra and Ventrue in positions of leadership. It is unknown whether or not any members of the Tremere clan have manifested Command Obedience.

System: With this power, a character may employ all her other Dominate powers through either touch or voice. With a touch, actual skin-to-skin contact is necessary -- Touching a person's clothing isn't enough. the touch need not be maintained throughout the entire time it takes to issue the Dominate command.

If only voice is used, then all that is required is that the target hears the words and that they are spoken loudly and clearly, in a language the target understands. Such attempts are at +1 difficulty and require the expenditure of a point of Willpower, as it is harder to enforce one's will through voice than through touch or eye contact.
