Admonition: Keep in mind that it could take a few days or weeks to flesh these paths out. So, please be patient. And, yes this is a collaborative effort, which means than anyone can make suggestions or edits, as long as they log them as such. -- Bruce "The Magister 02:05, 8 June 2015 (MDT)"

Description


- Level 1


- Level 2


Aura of Entropy - Level 3
The vampire can strengthen the forces of entropy around himself to the point where it can serve several functions. It can gnarl wood, rust metal, erode plastic, glass and dead organic material. This power has a range of one foot from the vampire’s body, but all those in the presence of the vampire can feel the raw forces of entropy at work and the vampire as its source.

System: For the necromancer to wield entropy properly he must first expend a point of blood and then role Manipulation + Occult vs. a variable difficulty based on the substance to be decayed. A botch on this role causes the forces of entropy to run wild about the necromancer’s person, ravaging his personal possessions and anything else that may be close to him for a time period equivalent to that found upon the success chart in botches. Dead organic material would have a standard difficulty of three (3). While, stone or refined metal are likely to be ten (10). The Number of successes determines how quickly the material decays. Note that since this power requires the expenditure of a Blood Point, a necromancer cannot cause an Aura of Decay while staked.

  • -- One Success = One Day
  • -- Two Successes = Twelve Hours
  • -- Three Successes = Six Hours
  • -- Four Successes = One Hour
  • -- Five Successes = Instantaneously


Tempest Strike - Level 4
The vampire can direct destructive energies toward living, undead, and dead (wraith) opponents. The vampire causes them to suffer terrible pain and to begin decomposing. The nature of the effect varies from necromancer to necromancer according to taste. The vampire must be within ten feet of the victim and must reach his hand out towards the victim.

System: The necromancer expends one Willpower Point for each attack. Each attack requires that the necromancer roll Stamina + Occult vs. the opponents Stamina + 3 for difficulty. Each success does two lethal health levels of damage to the victim, which are un-soakable. Of course, only one attack of this type can be made per combat round. A botch on this role inflicts two levels of lethal damage per botch upon the wielder of this power.


- Level 5
