Healer Valeren 8

This ability can be used to cleanse a person, place or thing of taint. It is vitally important that the Salubri be of strong character and humanity (a very high Via rating - no less than 8), since he pits his own goodness against whatever evil or unclean thing has corrupted another. This can be used against demonic possession or infernalism, but failure promises a terrible fate.

System: The player spends a Willpower point if the subject is willing and the corrupting agent does not fight back. If the subject is possessed, a demon or evil spirit fights very hard to hold onto its plaything. the player and demon make an extended and contested Willpower roll (difficulty equal to the opponent's permanent Willpower); the winner must beat the other by three successes. If the contest fails, the attempt to Purify fails. If the player botches, the demon now possesses the Salubri's body. Purification cannot be self-administered, and has no effect on the Beast.
