Withstand the Thundering Blow
Back to Disciplines Techniques
Disciplines Required: Fortitude 3, Potence 2
Experience Cost: 21
Description: With this power, the Kindred is capable of utilizing his own supernatural strength and resilience to better withstand those who attack him with Potence.
System: Any time attacked with Potence, the Kindred may utilize his Fortitude to completely negate successes from Potence. Thus, if he possesses Fortitude 4 and his attacker wields an attack with Potence 4, they cancel one another out. The attacker rolls damage as normal and the Kindred rolls only Stamina to soak. If the Kindred has higher Fortitude than the attacking Potence, he may add the remainder of those dice to the soak roll. Note that learning this power requires getting hit...hard...a lot.
Jamie - Frankly, I'm dubious. This seems like an attempt to powergame rather than roleplay.
