Sympathetic Agony
Chimerstry 2, Fortitude 4
Though the Indian Ravnos originally developed this power, its use has spread west with roving members of the clan. As its name suggests, Sympathetic Agony allows a vampire to shift his pain to enemies. Those who strike him feel the force of their own blows like a snake biting its own tail.
System: The player reflexively spends one blood point and rolls Manipulation + Intimidation against a difficulty of the target's Perception or Self-Control (whichever is higher). Each success allows the Ravnos to ignore the penalties associated with one health level of damage and inflict one phantom level of damage on the target. Penalties are assigned based on the sum of the victim's real and phantom damage. The power may only transfer pain to one target at a time, and does not heal or inflict injuries. Sympathetic Agony power lasts for the duration of the scene; however, the Ravnos can choose to cancel this power at any time and re-invoke it against a different target.
Experience Cost: 28
