View source for Restore the Mortal Visage

;[[Protean]] 7

The Gangrel are of two opinions regarding this power.  Those who are politically active, or who associate extensively with mortals, view it as both necessary and acceptable.  Those Kindred who embrace their more feral sides, however, see it as a disgusting defiance of the very nature of vampirism.  The schism comes because the power allows the elder who possesses it to temporarily return his appearance to what it was before the Embrace, removing the bestial features he had accumulated over the centuries.  Restore the Mortal Visage has only been displayed by Gangrel; several Nosferatu elders have attempted to develop it, and it is whispered that they met spontaneous, grotesque Final Deaths when they attempted to take their mortal forms.

'''System''':  The player spends three blood points and a Willpower point and rolls Willpower (difficulty 8).  Success restores the character's appearance to what it was just before he was first Embraced, erasing all animalistic features gained from frenzies.  The power also affects the character's Social Attributes, returning them to their original values (assuming those were higher than the character's current ratings).  A botched Willpower roll earns the character another animal feature.  Restore the Mortal Visage lasts for the remainder of the scene once activated.
