Effect

Spend a private scene with a vampire and contest Composure + Auspex against their Humanity. It automatically fails if their Humanity exceeds yours. Each point of margin removes one Stain or prevents one later Stain during the session. On a critical win, you may instead restore one Humanity; a subject can receive that restoration only once, ever. For the rest of the session your Dominate automatically succeeds against the subject without eye contact. Unused protection expires at session end; removed Stains and restored Humanity remain.
