Gift of the Immobile Form

Level 6.

The Tremere have found it useful for Gargoyles to be able to take shelter even in the open, and came up with the concept for this ritual from the grotesque adornments with which the Toreador have been decorating the cathedrals of Europe. A Gargoyle protected by this ritual may withstand even direct sunlight, and can see and hear everything transpiring around it. The drawback is that t eh Gargoyle cannot move a single muscle, or the sunlight will begin to burn at full force. Gargoyles with this ritual are highly prized as spies, able to become part of the decorations in many churches and castles and spy on what goes on inside and outside.
System: This ritual may be used on a Gargoyle of seventh generation or lower, so long as the Gargoyle has at least one dot of Fortitude. This ritual takes only a night to complete and lasts until the next new moon. After being cast, the ritual enables a Gargoyle, by remaining stock still, to avoid damage from the sun. The Gargoyle must roll Stamina + Fortitude (difficulty 9) in order to remain motionless through the day. In addition, this ritual does not make the Gargoyle's Beast react more calmly to sunlight, and the Gargoyle must still roll to avoid frenzying at the first sight of the sun.

(This is one of the pre-Visceretika Gargoyle rituals)
