Message: <blockquote data-quote="Catulle" data-source="post: 743409" data-attributes="member: 9942">From the V:tM book, FYI as regards Sabrina's use of Awe (presence 1):-"Awe amplifies the sublime magnetism this discipline gives the vampire. Those near the vampire suddenly desire to be closer to her and are very receptive to her point of view. Awe is extremely useful for mass communication. It matters little what is said - the hearts of those affected lean toward the vampire's opinion. The weak want to agree with her, even if the strong-willed resist, they soon find themselves outnumbered. Awe can turn a chancy deliberation into a certain resolution in the vampire's favour almost before her opponants know that the tide has turned."Despite the intensity of this attraction, those smitten do not lose their sense of self-preservation. Danger breaks the spell of fascination, as does leaving the area. Those subject to Awe will remember how they felt in the vampire's presence, however. This will influence their reactions should they ever encounter her again."The roll generates the number of people affected in the vicinity who can see her face starting with those with the lowest willpower. A vampire could spend 1 willpower to resist for a trun, and leave in that turn (thus avoiding the effects). Presence is a pretty subtle power under most circumstances (at least, it's described that way - Dread Gaze isn't at all...), and you'd have to be pretty clued in even as a vampire to notice straight off the bat that you were being affected (or if for example the user was a deadly enemy, once you left the effect's vicinity). Of course, given time and opportunity to consider...Vis a vis 'exceedign the limits', I think it's best to cross that bridge when (if) we come to it. We may never...On the other hand, I suspect a Sabbat game would not go down too well on these boards. Pity. I like the Sabbat (and they're not necessarily about all-out schlockfests either).Reaper - or, given there's no Prince, it could (more usefully?) get those elders blackmailed...Shalimar - of course, one of the 'unwritten rules' of camarilla society is that you are allowed to do exactly and no more than you can get away with doing (without reflecting poorly on one's elders).Regards,Barry</blockquote>
