Kraken's Kiss

Vicissitude 7

This power was first manifested by the Black Hand Dominion Lars Svengaard during the Siege of Barcelona. With this power, the vampire can warp the skin, cartilage and bone in her face, elongating it and resolidifying it into a 10'-long tentacle similar to that of a squid. This tentacle can be used to grasp and constrict foes; moreover, in place of a squid's suckers are rows and rows of fanged, drooling mouths, permitting incredibly rapid blood drain.

System: The vampire spends a Willpower point and rolls Stamina + Body Alteration (difficulty 8). Success enables formation of the tentacle with no loss of sensory abilities. The tentacle can be used in melee (difficulty 5; Strength +2 damage). A successful hit indicates a grab; for each success scored on the attack roll, one additional Blood Point can be drained from the victim each turn, as dozens of mouths bite and suck. To break the grip, the victim must score three more successes than the vampire in an extended contest of Strength.

It should be noted that the tentacle is as vulnerable to attack as the vampire is and may be attacked anywhere along its length; moreover, a tentacle in the process of feeding is a stationary target. If the tentacle takes three or more health levels of damage from an edged weapon, it is severed, and the vampire is effectively deprived of all senses (save touch) until she regenerates her face.
