Nightwalker

An individual with this virtue is able to stray; that is, he may send his spirit away from his body, and have it take material form at a distant place. This separated spirit, in solid or immaterial form, is called a phantasticum.

• The Nightwalker may use the Second Sight Ability in phantastic form. He may not use it while in his body, unless he has Second Sight as a merit.

• The Nightwalker may make his spiritual form tangible or intangible using a Stamina + Concentration roll.
• The Nightwalker may harm spirits in intangible form, as if both were tangible.
• The presence of the Nightwalker in phantastic form causes drowsiness.
