Taste of Fear (••)

Fear floods your blood; and while you aren’t quite on a walking nightmare, you carry a darkness inside of you. Letting it out, in whispered threat or vulgar secret, is enough to chill the blood of your average person.

Prerequisite: Ghoul, Nosferatu Regnant

Cost: 1 Willpower

Dice Pool: Manipulation + Intimidation vs. Resolve + Blood Potency

Action: Instant

Duration: Scene

Effect: When your character reveals, often in a hushed whisper, some terrible secret about himself to his victim, he can chill the blood of even those beyond death.

Roll Results

Dramatic Failure: The victim is afraid, afraid enough to seek out the nearest authority figure to tell him about the monster she’s interacted with.

Failure: The victim is afraid. The next attempt to engage with them socially will be met with a -2 die penalty. (This includes further attempts to intimidate them, as they are already “‘on to you”’ and your character has lost the element of surprise. For now.)

Success: Your character gives the victim the Broken, Fugue, or Guilty Condition. These Conditions are not persistent.

Exceptional Success: The victim gains the Broken, Fugue, or Guilty Condition and further, she cannot spend Willpower against you for the rest of the scene.
