Quickened Instincts
Requisite Disciplines: Auspex 1, Celerity 2
Description: With this power, a vampire hones his senses to detect sudden motion of ambushes and reacts with inhuman grace to evade or parry the attack.
System: Whenever the vampire is attacked from ambush or fails to notice an incoming attack through natural senses, his player must spend one blood point. The player may also spend additional blood points to retroactively purchase extra actions with Celerity, although these may only be used for purely defensive actions. Once this power is activated, the character may respond to the attack as though he saw it coming, suffering none of the usual penalties for surprise. This power can be consciously suppressed for a scene at no cost; however, it cannot be reactivated until the following scene.
Experience Cost: 14
