Level 3:

Defy bane

By preparing themselves with an expenditure of power, the vampire can make themselves temporarily resistant to fire and sunlight as well as other grievous wounds that would threaten them with Final Death.

■ Cost: One Rouse Check

■ Dice Pools: Wits + Survival (to activate reflexively)

■ System: The user can convert a number of Aggravated damage equal to their Fortitude rating to Superficial damage when sustained. They may not heal that Superficial damage for the rest of the scene. This power converts a number of damage per scene, not per wound or per attack.

The user can renew this power once expired by making another Rouse Check. If endangered unexpectedly, the user can activate this power reflexively with a Wits + Survival roll (Difficulty 3) upon receiving Aggravated damage. If the user fails the test, the power does not activate;

if they win the test, they must make a Rouse Check to pay for the power.

■ Duration: One scene or until expired, whichever comes first
