Veridical Tongue

12 XP

With this power, a character is able to sift through the tide of Kindred lies by rendering one subject unable to speak anything but the truth as he knows it. Lies cannot escape his mouth, nor is his tongue able to utter them. Targets may choose to remain silent, of course, but when they speak, they simply can’t lie. The subject must be in the Discipline’s user’s presence when this power is invoked.

Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Presence + Subterfuge + Majesty – subject’s Composure
Action: Instant

If the roll is successful, the target must speak the truth for a number of turns equal to the successes gained. He may choose not to speak at all, but in many cases silence equates to guilt among the Kindred.
