Siren's Beckoning

Melpominee

Description: This power reaches deep into its victims' souls to twist their psyches. Siren's Beckoning causes temporary insanity in its victims. Malkavians and vampires in Golconda are immune to this power; the former are too warped to be further affected, and the latter are too centered. Siren's Beckoning can affect only one victim at a time.

System: This Discipline requires an extended, resisted roll. The player rolls Manipulation + Performance (difficulty the target's Willpower); the victim resists by rolling Willpower (difficulty the singer's Appearance + Performance). If the singer accumulates five more successes than the victim at any point, the hapless soul acquires a new derangement (or Psychological Flaw) of the Storyteller's choice. This derangement normally lasts for one night per success over five. With a total of 20 net successes, the Daughter can make it permanent.
