The Wolf's Maw

6 XP

Those who deal with the Fortunate Eight often feel as if they are held in the mouth of a wolf — at any point the beast could lick them, crush them or spit them out. This simple Devotion helps the user enforce this feeling, stirring in a victim’s blood feelings of both excitement and unease. The one-two punch of fear and wonder can unbalance even the most unwavering Kindred.

Cost: 1 Vitae per scene
Dice Pool: Presence + Intimidation + Majesty versus Composure + Blood Potency
Action: Contested; resistance is reflexive

If the Devotion’s caster is successful, the victim of this power feels socially unsettled. For the rest of the scene, the victim suffers a penalty equal to the caster’s Majesty dots on all Socialize, Persuasion and Empathy dice pools.
