Auspex 2, Celerity 2

Vampiric warriors may hone their preternatural senses and speed to make themselves more effective combatants. Those who have learned to use these two traits in conjunction with one another are privy to an important secret: sometimes it is wiser to defend than to attack. An individual with this power is able to defend against a multitude of near-simultaneous attacks, even those to which he would be unable to respond under normal circumstances. For a few seconds, he enters a trance state in which he can perceive every potential threat to him, assess it and react accordingly.

System: At the beginning of the combat turn, before initiative is rolled, the player declares that he is activating this power. He spends two blood points and a Willpower point. This counts as activating Celerity for the turn. The character may take no actions this turn save for defending against incoming attacks. However, he may defend against every attack that targets him, using his full attention. The player rolls a dodge or parry with full dice pool against each attack targets him. This power may only be used a number of times per scene equal to the character's Perception rating.

Experience Cost: 14

It may be possible to combine this power with Temporis 3. Instead of quickening his own reflexes, the True Brujah would slow all incoming attacks. The experience cost would be 21.
