			'''••• Entrancement'''
			This power bends others’ emotions, making them
			the vampire’s willing servants. Due to what these individuals see as true and enduring devotion, they heed
			the vampire’s every desire. Since this is done willingly,
			instead of having their wills sapped, these servants retain their creativity and individuality.

			While these obedient minions are more personable
			and spirited than the mind-slaves created by Dominate, they’re also somewhat unpredictable. Further,
			since Entrancement is of a temporary duration, dealing
			with a lapsed servant can be troublesome. A wise Kindred either disposes of those she Entrances after they
			serve their usefulness, or binds them more securely by a
			blood bond (made much easier by the minion’s willingness to serve).

			System: The player spends a blood point and rolls
			Appearance + Empathy (difficulty equal to the target’s
			current Willpower points); the number of successes
			determines how long the subject is Entranced, as per
			the chart below. (Subjects can still spend Willpower to
			temporarily resist, like any other Presence power.) The
			Storyteller may wish to make the roll instead, since the
			character is never certain of the strength of her hold
			on the victim. The vampire may try to keep the subject
			under her thrall, but can do so only after the initial
			Entrancement wears off. Attempting this power while
			Entrancement is already in operation has no effect.

			'''•• Dread Gaze'''
			While all Kindred can frighten others by physically
			revealing their true vampiric natures — baring claws
			and fangs, glaring with malevolence, hissing loudly with
			malice — this power focuses these elements to insanely
			terrifying levels. Dread Gaze engenders unbearable terror in its victim, stupefying him into madness,
			immobility, or reckless flight. Even the most stalwart individual
			will fall back from the vampire’s horrific visage.

			'''System:''' The player rolls Charisma + Intimidation
			(difficulty equal to the victim’s Wits + Courage). Success
			indicates the victim is cowed, while failure means
			the target is startled but not terrified by the sight. Three
			or more successes means he runs away in abject fear;
			victims who have nowhere to run claw at the walls,
			hoping to dig a way out rather than face the vampire.
			Moreover, each success subtracts one from the target’s
			action dice pools next turn.

			The character may attempt Dread Gaze once per turn
			against a single target, though she may also perform it
			as an extended action, adding her successes in order to
			subjugate the target completely. Once the target loses
			enough dice that he cannot perform any action, he’s so
			shaken and terrified that he curls up on the ground and
			weeps. Failure during the extended action means the
			attempt falters. The character loses all her collected
			successes and can start over next turn, while the victim
			may act normally again.

			A botch at any time indicates the target is not at all
			impressed — perhaps even finding the vampire’s antics
			comical — and remains immune to any further uses of
			Presence by the character for the rest of the story.
