Stunning Awe

Discipline Techniques

Dominate 2, Presence 2

This power allows a vampire to slow a victim with a mixture of terror and mystical compulsion. He needs only lock gazes with the target and unleash his monstrous will to stun her.

System: The player rolls Manipulation + Intimidation against a difficulty of the victim's Willpower. A botch leaves the target immune to all further uses of Dominate or Presence by the vampire for the rest of the night. Each success imposes a penalty of one die on all the target's actions. This penalty lasts a number of turns equal to the vampire's Willpower, after which it loses one die of potency each turn until the target is free to act normally. If the initial penalty exceeds the target's Wits rating, the duration is measured in minutes rather than turns. If a stunned target suffers any pain, her player may roll Willpower (difficulty 7). Each success reduces the penalty by one die. this resistance roll may be attempted only once per turn and only once for the same stimulus. this power cannot affect vampires of lower generation.
