Level 5:
Animal dominion
The power the vampire holds over beasts is now great enough to command flocks and packs as if they were extensions of their own body. At a gesture, animals lay down their lives by the dozens, even hundreds, to appease their master.
■ Cost: Two Rouse Checks
■ Dice Pools: Charisma + Animalism
■ System: Chose a type of animal and make a Charisma + Animalism roll with a Difficulty depending on the nature of the animals and the order given. Getting a flock of crows to disperse and look for a specific individual (given some means of identifying their target) is relatively easy (Difficulty 3), but getting a pack of dogs to give their lives in a suicidal attack on another vampire is more
of a challenge (Difficulty 5). The power does not allow the user to summon animals but compels those already present to obey. The vampire can command the animals to return after completing their task, if they have means to do so.
■ Duration: A single scene or until the directive is fulfilled, whichever is shortest.
