Ending the Watch
(This is an ancient power of Warrior Valeren that supposedly dates back to the second city, before the Warrior line was formally acknowledged by Saulot.)
The "watch" in this case is the death watch. An apocryphal story of the Second City describes two Salubri who walked the streets on certain nights, looking for the sick, aged, suffering, those for whom life had become a burden. If a person truly wished to die because of illness or terrible loss and could answer the pair to satisfaction, they would grant the gift of death. Their particular charges were children of the streets, who called them "The Kind Ones" and honored them as angels who would save the miserable from their lives. Saulot did not approve of such use of the gift, and banned its use (and the pair) from the city. Today, one who possesses this power risks being outcast by the outcasts. However, Salubri who follow the Warrior path may have and use this power without being condemned.
The Salubri using this power grants a quiet, painless death to a willing subject.
System: To End the Watch, the vampire places her hand on the subject's chest. The player spends a Willpower point. The subject must be willing to end her life. If she struggles or refuses, the attempt fails. her heart slowly ceases to beat, and the subject appears to go into a deep, peaceful sleep. Curiously, and individual affected by this power may not be subsequently Embraced, nor will she become a wraith.
