Minimum Shadow Potency 3
The Strix can sense the immediate possible futures like the strands of a spider web, and strike at them to cause disaster. It may make its own endeavors more likely to succeed, or ensure the ruin of others’ efforts.
Action: Instant
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Power + Finesse (– victim’s Resolve if used against a victim.)
If successful, the Strix bends probability and consequence to its liking. If it used this power to benefit itself, it gains the 8-again quality to a number of future dice pools equal to successes. If it attacked another’s efforts, the victim suffers a dice penalty equal to the Strix’s Shadow Potency for as many future dice pools as the Strix gained successes, and all failures on those actions become dramatic failures. The victim gains a Beat for the first dramatic failure suffered in a scene as a consequence of this power.
