Serpentis 9

This power is ancient, but had been lost until the Setite Methuselah Nebmaatsutekh awoke from torpor in the 12th century and demonstrated it to the followers who flocked to her. Pact with Ra calls upon the debt incurred when Set defended Ra against the monstrous serpent Apep (also known as Apophis), who sought to devour Ra as he travelled through the underworld. Through Osiris later commanded Ra to curse Set, Set's childer might still, at considerable cost, invoke the alliance that once existed between Ra and their sire. when this is done, the Setite is freed from the greatest curse of his kind; the pain of the sun.

System: Pact with Ra can only be invoked at sunrise or during the day. In order to do so, the player spends a permanent point of Willpower. From then until the next sunrise, the character is utterly unaffected by sunlight and daytime. she may act without any penalties to dice pools, does not suffer from the lethargy that normally affects vampires during the day, and is wounded neither by normal sunlight nor by sunlight created by magic.
