Discipline Techniques

Animalism 3, Presence 2

While the power of Quell the Beast is certainly useful if you're trying to soothe or quiet someone, sometimes you need something a bit more dramatic. Mortal Terror focuses the power of Dread Gaze directly on another Kindred's Beast, bypassing the conscious mind entirely. This can potentially drive a vampire into immediate Rotschreck.

System: The character must either touch her target or make eye contact, and the player must succeed in a contested roll (Charisma + Intimidation vs. the target's Willpower, both difficulty 7). If the character accumulates more successes than the victim has dots of Courage, the power takes effect and Rotschreck overwhelms the victim. The victim may begin making Courage rolls in an attempt to fight off Rotschreck starting the next turn. Until he accumulates five successes, he will continue to flee from the character by the fastest and most direct route. Invoking this power spuriously is dangerous. Should the character botch the roll to invoke the power, the victim must immediately roll Self-Control to resist frenzy, rather than Rotschreck.
