Auspex 7

The Cainite speaks as little as a single word to her subject. The subject then reveals everything she knows about that topic to the Vampire. The revelation may be delivered through thoughts or speech, depending on whether the vampire wants her subject to talk.

System: The vampire must see her subject, though eye contact is not necessary. The player spends a Blood Point and makes a Charisma + Empathy roll (difficulty equal to the subject's Willpower), though callous vampires may "bully" their subjects, in which case Intimidation is used instead of Empathy. The number of successes rolled dictates how lucid the subject's thoughts are, as well as how complex a topic the Cainite can stipulate.
