Vanishing

Discipline Techniques

Dementation 4, Obfuscate 5

It is common knowledge that to cross a Malkavian is to invite upon oneself a fate worse than destruction - and those who have suffered the torment of the Vanishing would attest to this if they could. With this offshoot of Dementation, the Malkavian can cause its target to become a living, or unliving, ghost. With a simple word, the target literally fades from view, possibly never to be seen or heard from again.

System: For the Vanishing to work, the vampire must lock gazes with his victim and curse him: the player rolls Manipulation + Stealth (difficulty equal to the target's Willpower rating) and the number of successes determines the effect's duration (see below). For that time, the target fades from view (depending on the Malkavian's outlook, either swallowed by the shadows, devoured by demons or swept away by angels). While vanished, the victim is rendered delirious and can do nothing except babble to herself and seek shelter from the sun. If the Malkavian scored enough successes, this eventually dooms the victim to torpor.

1 Success: 1 turn
2: 1 scene
3: 1 night
4: 1 week
