Obeah 9


This Discipline gives the character complete control over the target's body and spirit.

System: The character must win a Willpower vs. Willpower contest (difficulty 6 for both) and accumulate as many successes as the target's Willpower. The character can then bend the will of the target to do anything the character wishes. There is only one provision -- the character must pantomime all of the actions of the target. This means that if the character wills the target to walk, then the character must also walk. Unless the target can make an Empathy roll (difficulty 9) to move on his own for a turn, the character may continue to control him. This Discipline also allows the character access to any Disciplines, Talents or Skills of the target.

This seems better suited to Dominate or Presence, but certainly doesn't need to be level 9 for either. The best I can come up with is an advanced Possession, perhaps at level 7. Also, it does not say how long it lasts. The need to pantomime the target's actions is ludicrous at level 9, or even 7. -Jamie
