Line 74:		Line 74:

	==Fortitude==		==Fortitude==
			===Level 1===
			====Resilience====
			Endowed with supernatural endurance, the user can strengthen their physical resolve.<br>
			'''Cost:''' Free<br>
			'''System:''' The user adds their Fortitude rating to their Health track.<br>
			'''Duration:''' Passive


			====Unswayable Mind====
			The user gains a mystical ability to resist any attempts to sway them through mundane charms, coercion, and wiles. Some exhibit Unswayable Mind as zen-like calm, others as supernatural stubbornness.<br>
			'''Cost:''' Free<br>
			'''System:''' The user adds their dots in Fortitude as extra dice in any roll made to resist coercion, intimidation, seduction, or any other attempt to sway the userâ€™s mind against their will. This power also works against supernatural abilities such as Dominate and Presence.<br>
			'''Duration:''' Passive


			===Level 2===
			====Toughness====
			All vampires with this power exhibit an innate ability to ignore damage that would otherwise inconvenience and even disable others of their kind. While this power alone gives no protection against banes and other agravated damage, the protection it confers adds up in the long run.<br>
			'''Cost:''' One Rouse Check<br>
			'''System:''' Subtract the Fortitude of the defender from all Superficial damage sustained. This occurs before halving the damage, and cannot reduce the damage below one.<br>
			'''Duration:''' One scene


			====Enduring Beasts====
			'''Amalgam :''' Animalism 1<br>
			The user shares a small portion of their unnatural toughness with the animals they influence. Teeming swarms and great beasts alike exhibit a resistance to fleeting injuries almost equal to the vampire themself.<br>
			'''Cost:''' Free (for famulus); One Rouse Check (for other animals)<br>
			'''Dice Pools :''' Stamina + Animalism (for non-famulus animals)<br>
			'''System:''' The vampire can choose to extend some of their Fortitude powers to animals affected by their Animalism. Any animal thus imbued gains additional Health levels equal to the Fortitude dots of the vampire. Using this power on their famulus is free and automatic. To imbue other animals besides their famulus, the user must make a Rouse Check and roll a test of Stamina + Animalism (Difficulty 3). Te user can fortify one animal per point of margin. When the effect ends, remove unmarked Health first; this may result in the animal expiring.<br>
			'''Duration:''' One scene


			===Level 3===
			====Defy Bane====
			By preparing themselves with an expenditure of power, the vampire can make themselves temporarily resistant to fire and sunlight as well as other grievous wounds that would threaten them with Final Death.<br>
			'''Cost:''' One Rouse Check<br>
			'''Dice Pools :''' Wits + Survival (to activate reï¬‚exively)<br>
			'''System:''' The user can convert a number of Aggravated damage equal to their Fortitude rating to Superficial damage when sustained. They may not heal that Superficial damage for the rest of the scene. This power converts a number of damage per scene, not per wound or per attack. Te user can renew this power once expired by making another Rouse Check. If endangered unexpectedly, the user can activate this power reï¬‚exively with a Wits + Survival roll (Difficulty 3) upon receiving Aggravated damage. If the user fails the test, the power does not activate; if they win the test, they must make a Rouse Check to pay for the power.<br>
			'''Duration:''' One scene or until expired, whichever comes first


			====Fortify the Inner Facade====
			Instead of hardening the vampireâ€™s physical frame, this power allows the user to protect their thoughts and emotions from supernatural prying. Their mind appears completely blank while their aura is, for lack of better words, ï¬‚at.<br>
			'''Cost:''' Free<br>
			'''System:''' Increases the Difficulty of using Scry Soul (Auspex 3), Telepathy (Auspex 5), and similar powers on the user by half their Fortitude rating (round up). If the rules allow the user to resist these powers, they add their Fortitude rating to their dice pool instead.<br>
			'''Duration:''' One scene

New page

<yambe:breadcrumb>Main_Page|Main Page</yambe:breadcrumb>

==Celerity==
===Level 1===
====Catâ€™s Grace====
The vampire gains a balance and grace equal to and surpassing world-class trapeze artists. Tey can walk and even run across ledges and wires effortlessly and can keep their balance on the slimmest of supports. 
'''Cost:''' Free 
'''System:''' The user automatically passes any Dexterity- or Athletics-based roll needed to keep their balance. Note that this power does not allow them to balance on support that cannot take their weight.
'''Duration:''' Passive

====Rapid Reflexes====
While their bodies still canâ€™t defy the laws of nature, vampires with this power perceive events instantly and can react to them with superhuman alacrity. Tey can observe incoming projectiles to the extent that they can attempt to dodge arrows and even bullets without available cover. 
'''Cost:''' Free 
'''System:''' With this power, vampires suffer no penalty to their defense pools for lack of cover against Firearms attacks. They can also take a minor action (see p. 298) worth up to two dice per turn, such as readying or reloading a weapon, for free.
'''Duration:''' Passive

===Level 2===
====Fleetness====
Their mastery of Celerity now allows the vampire to move and react with dizzying speed. 
'''Cost:''' One Rouse Check 
'''System:''' Add the Celerity rating to user's dice pool for non-combat Dexterity tests. Once per turn the user may also do this when defending with Dexterity + Athletics.
'''Duration:''' One scene

===Level 3===
====Blink====
The vampire swiftly closes in on a foe, engaging or escaping in the blink of an eye. To an unprepared observer the user almost appears to teleport, a rush of wind the only sign of their passing. 
'''Cost:''' One Rouse Check 
'''Dice Pools:''' Dexterity + Athletics, or as needed
'''System:''' The vampire moves in a straight line toward a target, covering any distance under 50 meters while still having enough time to perform an action, such as an attack, during the turn. If the terrain is in any way hazardous, the character needs to make a Dexterity + Athletics roll to avoid stumbling and coming to a halt on the way. Te Storyteller may call for other contests as desired, especially if the vampire races a distant foe to an object or an action. Vampires engaging a foe with this power act as if already engaged when the turn begins.
'''Duration:''' One turn

====Traversal====
With blurring speed the vampire can run or climb along any surface, including vertical and even liquid mediums. While Traversal does not grant insect-like supernatural traction, running up or along walls present little problem. Walking on water remains impossible, but the vampire can run on water for a limited distance given a run-up. 
'''Cost:''' One Rouse Check 
'''Dice Pools:''' Dexterity + Athletics
'''System:''' Make a Dexterity + Athletics roll with a Difficulty of 3 (inclined surface with traction) to 6 (slick vertical surface, open water), depending on the surface and angle. Each point of margin gets the vampire further up or out; a margin of 0 gets to a close target, a margin of 1 to one farther than that, and so forth. Te Storyteller should inform the player beforehand if a target is too distant to even attempt Traversal; as a rule of thumb, anything over water farther than 60 meters (or more than 30 stories up a building) probably exceeds this powerâ€™s range
'''Duration:''' One turn

===Level 4===
====Draught of Elegance====
The Blood of the vampire becomes saturated with the power of Celerity, conveying a part of that power to anyone who drinks of it. While this is also a first step towards a Blood Bond, already bound thralls or servants have little use for such worries, and even non-bound allies might decide to brave a sip for the sake of temporary power. 
'''Cost:''' One Rouse Check 
'''System:''' Drinking a Rouse Checks worth of Blood directly from the user gifs the drinker with temporary Celerity equal to half the Celerity dots (rounded down) of the donor. Te drinker gains the same non-Amalgam powers as the donorâ€™s, up to that level.
'''Duration:''' One night; for vampires, until the next feeding or the vampire reaches Hunger 5

====Unerring Aim====
'''Amalgam :''' Auspex 2
The world around them slowing to a crawl, the vampire can aim and throw or fire any weapon at a target as if the target were stationary. 
'''Cost:''' One Rouse Check 
'''System:''' Use before making a ranged attack. Te target makes no roll to dodge or defend; make the attack at Difficulty 1. An opponent possessing Celerity 5 can nullify this power by making their own Rouse Check, defending at the same speed.
'''Duration:''' A single attack

===Level 5===
====Lightning Strike====
Faster than the eye can follow, the vampire can strike with fast or melee weapon at such speed that the opponent is unable to defend or take evasive action. 
'''Cost:''' One Rouse Check 
'''System:''' Use before making a Brawl or Melee attack. Te opponent makes no roll to dodge or defend; make the attack at Difficulty 1. An opponent possessing Celerity 5 can nullify this power by making their own Rouse Check, defending at the same speed.
'''Duration:''' A single attack

====Split Second====
The speed at which the vampire moves catches up with their supercharged perception, allowing them to react to events around them at a momentâ€™s notice. Ambushers find their prey already standing behind them, and favors asked are completed before the words leave the supplicants mouth. 
'''Cost:''' One Rouse Check 
'''System:''' The player can supersede the Storytellerâ€™s narration of events, within reason. They can choose to have their character move through a door before it closes, circumvent an ambush after it has been triggered, roll out of the way of an explosion, and so forth. Te action taken must be reasonable and should not take more than a few seconds in real time. Te Storyteller decides what Skills, if any, need to be checked to successfully accomplish an action begun using this power.
'''Duration:''' Roughly one action, as determined by the Storyteller.
