Righteous Gaze
Potence 3, Presence 2
The Faithful place great stock not only in their own virtue above other Cainites, but in their duty as judges over their accursed brethren. By means of this power, the Faithful can burn a foe from the inside out using the oil of his own sin as fuel. All that is required is a moment's eye contact - and, of course, the moral superiority of the user.
System: After the character acquires eye contact with his target, the player must make a Road roll (difficulty equal to the subject's Road rating). If this roll is botched, the Faithful may not call upon this power again until he has completed a successful Act of Contrition (see Road of Heaven p 38). Otherwise, the target suffers a number of aggravated wounds equal to the number of successes achieved on the Road roll at the beginning of the next turn. The target may only soak this damage with Fortitude (difficulty 7), but the difficulty may be modified up or down by his Aura rating. thus, if a target has a Road rating of 8, then he rolls Fortitude at a difficulty of 6, rather than 7, to soak the damage. This power does not function on Faithful Cainites with higher Road ratings than the user.
Once the given target has been "judged" with this power, he may not be the target of the same user's Righteous Gaze again until such time as his own Road rating changes.
