Truly tough Kindred can call upon personal reserves of will to shore up their toughness in the face of adversity. By means of this Devotion, a vampire learns how to funnel his strength of will through his supernaturally altered form, allowing him to shrug off the deleterious effects of his wounds — for a time.
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Composure + Athletics + Resilience
Action: Reflexive
Each success gained on the activation roll allows the character to ignore any current wound penalties, as well as any penalties he acquires from new wounds, for one turn. Therefore, if three successes are rolled, the character is wound-penalty-free for the duration of the existing turn and for two turns thereafter. A new Vitae expenditure and roll is required each time the vampire wishes to reactivate the Devotion.
