The Call
- Auspex 8 or Dementation 6
This power is only available to elder Malkavians, who use it to tap into the incarnate madness that is their founder's consciousness.
Although many clan gatherings happen spontaneously, The Call arising from a general subconscious need shared by a city's Malkavian population, it is possible to send the Call deliberately. Both Auspex and Dementation offer the ability to send The Call, although it's a much easier art to perform when expressed through Dementation.
System: To send The Call, a Malkavian (and only a Malkavian) rolls Perception + Empathy, difficulty 6. As always, other clan members will hear and attend if they so choose. The Call as broadcasted is not a verbal thing; it merely conveys an impression of a place and a time. There is no sense of purpose, nor even the name of the gathering point; still, neither is really necessary. The Call is so instinctive that if an American Malkavian who didn't speak a word of French were visiting Paris, and heard the Call, he'd be able to follow his impressions and visions to the gathering place as readily as any native Lunatic.

Personally, I think that these "Malkavians are better than everyone else" powers are crackbaby, but I'm reprinting them anyway. Use at your own risk. -Jamie
