Talk:Gaze of the Balrog
My first thought upon reading this discipline technique is that its both basic and useful, a sort of replacement for Dread Gaze, for those who don't have Presence.
The second thought that occurred to me is that effect has the most effect if its instantaneous, and neither Witness of Darkness or Shadow Play take a turn to manifest, so with the expenditure of a point of blood the effect takes place.
I agree - no "time" to manifest. I do have a question though: Does this expenditure require a mental action (with at least one die) to activate, or is it simply reflexive? -Jamie
Another question: The description says a "demon-like visage." Is the character still recognizable, or does it complete mask the character's face? It seems to me that the answer is obviously the former, but it should be spelled out to avoid confusion. -Jamie
