Skin Trap

Vicissitude 6

This power enables the vampire to slough off a layer of his epidermis and use it as a fleshy snare. Victims may be bound, blinded or even suffocated in the skin-sac.

System: The vampire may automatically shed a layer of skin, but must make a Stamina + Firearms roll (use normal firearms complications) to target his victim. If the vampire hits, the victim is trapped in the folds of flesh and may take no action until she frees herself (Strength, difficulty 7; victim must score a number of successes equal to the vampire's Stamina). Additionally, if the vampire scores three or more successes on the attack roll, he has targeted the victim's face, blinding her and (if the victim breaths) cutting off her oxygen supply.

Each time this power is used, the vampire's soak Dice Pool decreases by one until he spends a Blood Point to regenerate the skin layer. If this power is used three times in succession without spending Blood Points, the vampire's skin becomes paper-thin. Each time the vampire moves suddenly or violently in this state, he must make a Stamina roll (difficulty 7) or suffer one Health Level of damage as cracks and lesions riddle his skin.
