Dagon's Call
- Quietus 3
With but a touch, the skilled Quietus user can turn her victim's blood against him. By concentrating, the vampire bursts her target's blood vessels and fills his lungs with vitae that proceeds to strangle him from within. The blood actually constricts the target's body from the inside as it floods through his system, so it works even on unbreathing Cainites. Until the target collapses in agony or death throes, this power has no visible effect, and many Assamite viziers prefer it because it leaves no trace of their presence.
System: The vampire must touch her target prior to using Dagon's Call. Within an hour thereafter, she may issue the call though she need not be in the presence or even in the line of sight of her target.
Invoking the power costs one Willpower point. The player then makes a resisted Stamina roll against the target's Stamina; the difficulty of each roll is equal to the opponent's Willpower. The number of successes the attacking player achieves is the number of levels of lethal damage the victim suffers. These levels cannot be soaked. For an additional point of Willpower spent in the next turn, the player may continue using Dagon's Call as the player continues to spend Willpower, the Character may continue rending her opponent from within.
