1 • Heightened Senses
Secret Roll: Auspex, difficulty ???
The vampire can sharpen any or all of her senses, at will,
for as long as she wants.
However, traumas caused by sensory overload (IE very bright
lights, loud noises, etc) while in this state last much
longer. How this comes into play is decided by the Storyteller,
who may describe details more fully. The vampire will also
sense things that she would otherwise not sense, that might be
important. How this danger sense is used is up to Storytellers
whim.
2 • Aura Perception
Roll: Per. + Empathy, difficulty 8
The vampire may read the aura of another. If the vampire
attempts a second reading on anyone, treat any failure as a
botch (a wildly inaccurate reading). Conditions contributing
to aura colors, and their corresponding effects, are in the
chart below.
1 suc. The vampire can tell if the aura is pale or bright, IE vampire or otherwise.
2 suc. The predominant color can be distinguished.
3 suc. Patterns can be recognized.
4 suc. Shifts in color or pattern can be detected.
5 suc. All aspects of the aura can be read.
Aggression - purple
Anger - red
Bitterness - brown
Compassion - pink
Confusion - colors shift, and are mottled
Conservatism - lavender
Daydreaming - colors flicker sharply
Depression - gray
Desire - deep red
Diablerist - black veins in aura
Distrust - light green
Envy - dark green
Excitement - violet
Fear - orange
Frenzy - colors ripple
Generosity - rose
Happiness - vermilion
Hatred - black
Idealism - yellow
Innocence - white
Love - blue
Lust - deep red
Magic-user - multicolored sparkles in aura
Obsession - green
Psychosis - colors swirl
Rage - crimson
Sadness - silver
Serenity - light blue
Spirituality - gold
Suspicion - dark blue
Vampirism - appropriate color is pale
3 • The Spirit’s Touch
Roll: Per. + Empathy, difficulty ???
The vampire may touch an object, and get psychic impressions
of the last one who touched it.
4 • Telepathy
Roll: Int. + Subterfuge, difficulty Willpower
The vampire may read a target’s mind. If the target is a vampire,
a willpower point must also be spent. The thoughts perceived are
in a stream-of-consciousness form, which reflects that reading
minds is usually easier than understanding what is being read.
5 • Psychic Projection
Roll: Per. + Occult, difficulty ???
The vampire may leave her body, and travel in astral form. In
this state, she may travel up to 500 miles per hour, connected
to her physical body by a silver cord. The integrity of this
cord is reflected by the number of willpower points she has;
if she goes down to zero willpower points, this cord breaks,
stranding her in the astral plane.
In this state, the vampire may use mental disciplines, but
may not interact with physical reality, except that she may
manifest as a ghostly form for one turn by spending a willpower
point. Otherwise, she is nearly imperceptible in physical
reality (except to those with Auspex, Mind 2, etc.). Due to the
lack of a physical body, Wits replaces Dexterity,Manipulation
replaces Strength, and Intelligence replaces Stamina. All
damage causes loss of willpower points, rather than Health
levels.
6 • Babble (Clanbook:Malkavian)
Roll: Cha. + Empathy, difficulty Willpower
The vampire can converse with a number of other targets up to
her Willpower rating, and a number of additional Malkavians
(or similarly deranged individuals) up to her Empathy rating,
at any distance. However, all such communications must be spoken
aloud, at the same volume as would be necessary to be heard if
the speaker was in the same setting as the listener.
No roll is needed for a willing target.
6 • Clairvoyance
Roll: Per. + Empathy, difficulty 6
The vampire may see and hear events in a distant place of her
choice. She may also use other Auspex powers in conjunction
with this one, but each such use is rolled separately.
6 • The Dreaming
Roll: Wits + Empathy, difficulty 7
The vampire may dream about her surroundings, or any
circumstances that might affect her, when in torpor or
asleep.
6 • Eagle’s Sight
The vampire may psychically scan a bird’s eye view of an area of a radius of two miles, from an apparent view of about 250 feet up. If she also has Clairvoyance, she may close in on a smaller area.
6 • Insight of the Talespinner (Clanbook:Toreador)
By spending a blood point, the vampire can tell a story off the
top of her head, entrancing others who can hear it, as per
the Toreador clan weakness -- even non-Toreadors.
Others so afflicted may roll Wits + Empathy, difficulty 8, but
must listen until the story is finished if they score less than
three successes. This power also grants a -3 difficulty modifier
to all storytelling-related rolls.
6 • Prediction
Roll: Per. + Empathy, difficulty Willpower
By spending a blood point, the vampire may predict a target’s
next comment. With three successes, she may predict the
target’s next action. Each success gives the vampire a one-die
bonus to all Social rolls directed at the target, and each
success beyond the second imposes a one-die penalty to
all rolls directed against the vampire.
6 • Sense Emotion
Roll: Per. + Empathy, difficulty 7
The vampire may sense the auras and general moods of everyone
within a ten foot radius. She may also pinpoint instigators
of these emotions.
6 • Telepatic Communication
Roll: Cha. + Empathy, difficulty Willpower
The vampire can converse psychically with a target in
line-of-sight, project images, transmit sensory input,
etc. No roll is needed for a willing target.
6 • What People Want to Hear (Clanbook:Toreador)
Resist: Willpower, difficulty 7
By spending a blood point, the vampire can know exactly
what to say to get a desired response from another. If
the target of this power believes the vampire’s statement
to be fundamentally wrong, she may resist, as above. This
power usually doesn’t permanently change a person’s viewpoint,
but it can.
7 • Melange (Clanbook:Malkavian)
The vampire can see an alternate view of reality, gaining
whatever insights can be gained from the Storyteller’s
descriptions, which should be confusing, gibberish,and/or
bullshit.
While using this power, the vampire loses half of all
of her dice pools (rounding down the loss), and is susceptible
to missing details in the "real world".
7 • Personality Metamorph (Clanbook:Toreador)
By spending two blood points, the vampire may create a personality, and adopt it as her own. This personality has its own Nature, Demeanor, abilities, mental and social attributes, Willpower, and Humanity. Sometimes, the new personality will even have a different set of disciplines, or a different Path of Enlightenment. Usually, physical attributes and Appearance remain unchanged. This power lasts for one scene, though the vampire may pay one blood per scene to extend its effects.
7 • Soul Scan
Roll: Per. + Investigation, difficulty 6
The vampire may locate a target, anywhere in the world. The
difficulty to use this power is 8 if the target has
Obfuscate.
7 • Spirit Link
Roll: Wits + Etiquette, difficulty 6
The vampire may telepathically link one person to herself for
each success. All targets so linked will also hear each
other. This power does not facilitate mind-reading.
8 • Malkavian Madness Network (Clanbook:Malkavian)
Roll: Empathy + Willpower, difficulty 6
The vampire may inform other Malkavians of, and organize, the
meetings that no one has been able to figure out.
This only informs other Malkavians about the meeting; it does
not obligate them to attend.
1 suc. All Malkavians within three blocks.
3 suc. All Malkavians within ten blocks.
5 suc. All Malkavians within three miles.
7 suc. All Malkavians within ten miles.
10 suc. All Malkavians in the city.
13 suc. All Malkavians in the area (IE county).
15 suc. All Malkavians on the continent.
20 suc. All Malkavians in the world.
All Malkavians so contacted (and all similarly insane individuals, at the Storyteller’s discretion) then get a secret roll of Perception + Malkavian Time, difficulty 6, to determine how far in advance they learn of the meeting. Those not contacted have no way of detecting the use of this power.
1 suc. The meeting just started. If you hurry, you might
make it before it’s over.
2 suc. The meeting is tomorrow.
3 suc. The meeting is in a week.
4 suc. The meeting is in a week, and you have some idea of
its purpose.
5 suc. The meeting is in a week, and you know exactly what
will be discussed.
8 • Psychic Assault
Roll: Man. + Intimidation, difficulty 8
Resist: Willpower, difficulty 8
The vampire may do psychic damage to a target. If the target is
a vampire, a willpower point must also be spent. If this assault
reduces the target to zero willpower points, the target is rendered
unconscious; with three or more successes, if the target is rendered
unconscious, she awakens with a derangement. This power does damage
as follows:
Botch: The target is immune to all further such assaults from the
vampire for the rest of the night.
Failure: The target is unharmed, and may roll Perception + Occult
difficulty 6, to perceive the attack.
1 suc. The target loses a willpower point. Also, a Courage roll
may be required, at the option of the Storyteller.
2 suc. The target loses 3 willpower points. A Courage roll is
required, difficulty Auspex.
3 suc. The target loses 6 willpower points. A Courage roll is
required, difficulty Auspex.
4 suc. The target loses all willpower points. Her Willpower is
permanently halved.
5 suc. The target rolls Willpower, and dies if the roll fails.
If successful, effect is that of four successes.
8 • Omniscience
Roll: Per. + Empathy, difficulty 6
The vampire may perceive anything the Storyteller feels like telling
her. She may learn about events, or individuals, and there is no
limit to how much can be learned, except for how successful she is
on the roll. Individuals with Obfuscate 8 or higher can not be
detected or studied in this fashon.
9 • Precognition
Roll: Int. + Alertness, difficulty 8
The vampire may see the future of any location with which she is
familiar. These visions are based on the assumption that none
of the current circumstances will change, and they do not take
into account the plans of those who might act to change the future.
The length of time by which the vampire can see ahead is as
follows:
1 suc. one hour.
2 suc. one day.
3 suc. one week.
4 suc. one month.
5 suc. one year.
10 • Pulse of the Canaille
Roll: Humanity, difficulty variable
The vampire may learn about a group of people. The difficulty varies
according to the size of the group being studied, as follows:
dif. 6 an organization.
dif. 7 a city.
dif. 8 a region.
dif. 9 a country.
dif. 10 the world.
If the group of people is being controlled, then all aspects of all controlling forces will be seen, with enough successes. What the vampire learns from using this power is as follows:
1 suc. The vampire senses moods and attitudes.
2 suc. The vampire also senses the potential and future of the
group.
3 suc. The vampire also sense the degree to which they are being
controlled.
4 suc. The vampire also senses the aura of the controlling force.
5 suc. The vampire also knows who is controlling them, and why.
