Potence 6

Facetiously named, this power allows the Kindred to physically knock another character away from herself with the slightest of touches. Although this power does no damage in and of itself, its use is quite humbling, and certainly, to be hurled away from an elder in a social setting has its embarrassing repercussions. Some Kindred who use this power do so surreptitiously, touching their victims and sending them reeling across the room. Others use this power as a not-so-subtle display of their might, giving their victim a casual slap that has overwhelming results.

System: The player spends a Blood Point and the character must physically touch her target (which may require a Dexterity + Brawl roll i9n certain situations). The character on the receiving end of this power is immediately thrown a number of yards equal to the invoking character's Potence rating. The results of this vary by situation, and are left to the Storyteller - a character hurled into a wall may well sustain damage, which a character tossed haphazardly away might have to succeed on a Dexterity roll (difficulty 6) to remain standing.
