Witness of Ahriman

Discipline Techniques

Dominate 3, Obtenebration 3

With this subtle power, a Lasombra's eyes dilate to the infinite depths of the Abyss, filling a target who meets her gaze with fear. Shadows plague the victim's mind, gnawing at his sanity and resolve.

System: The player spends one Willpower point and rolls Manipulation + Occult (difficulty of the target's Willpower). success means the target begins seeing disturbing flickers of darkness at the edge of his vision and hears whispers he cannot make out. For as long as the phantoms last, the victim adds 2 to the difficulty of all Willpower and Virtue rolls. Once each day at dawn, the victim's player may attempt to throw off this spectral haunting with a Willpower roll (difficulty of the vampire's Occult plus the two-point difficulty increase imposed by the curse). For each day that the target does not throw off the curse, the difficulty on the roll rises by one (maximum difficulty 9). Victims who remain haunted for more days than their permanent Willpower lose the ability to regain Willpower points until they throw off the curse. A mortal victim haunted for more days than his Willpower + Wits grows suicidal and ends his life at the earliest possible opportunity.
