Feather-Stone

Level 1.

(This is a pre-Visceretika Gargoyle ritual)

One of the problems that sometimes plagues the massive Gargoyles, particularly when laying siege to Tzimisce fortresses, is their weight. those that can fly can collapse wooden floors beneath them if they land too heavily, and those that can't are often too hefty to climb well. This ritual allows a Gargoyle to become much lighter than his stony appearance would indicate.

The Tremere performing this ritual must acquire a small chunk of a soft, brittle, or lightweight stone (talc, pumice, etc.) and coat it with a small amount of vitae. The Gargoyle must crush the stone in its jaws; thereafter, the servant can call upon the ritual's effects at will.

System: Spend one blood point in addition to the usual Willpower roll to activate the spell. Assuming it succeeds, the Gargoyle may invoke the effects if the player succeeds in a Stamina + Athletics roll (difficulty 6). The Gargoyle is then considered to weigh a fraction of what he normally does, but does not lose any of his physical prowess. If a Gargoyle also possesses the Flight power, activating Feather-Stone reduces all Flight difficulties by two.
