Effect
Reveal your predatory nature and contest Charisma + Presence against Composure + Resolve. Even on your failure, a mortal retreats and can only defend for a turn; a vampire is unaffected. On your win, a mortal flees, while a vampire can only defend unless they spend Willpower equal to your margin, minimum one. On a critical win, a mortal freezes or collapses; a vampire tests terror frenzy at Difficulty 3 and, even if successful, suffers the normal winning result.
