Minimum Shadow Potency 6
Rather than merge with a host to perform the Embrace, this Strix has learned to combine the insidious nature of vampire blood with its own ability to spawn new Strix, allowing it to slowly subvert an entire Kindred court. By spending three points of Vitae when in a vampire host, the Strix can roll Shadow Potency as a dice pool. If successful, it creates a new Strix of Shadow Potency equal to its successes, which is held dormant within the host’s blood. This does not reduce the Strix’s own Shadow Potency, but instead reduces the Blood Potency of the host by one. If the embodied Strix then feeds its blood to a victim the dormant child-Strix is capable of possessing, the child-Strix awakens and immediately possesses the victim. If not, the child-Strix awakens and is ejected from the shared host after the parent’s Shadow Potency in nights.
