Hecata

The bite causes pain, making even an agreed feeding difficult.

Overview

Auspex, Fortitude, and Oblivion combine perception, endurance, and dealings with death. The painful bite complicates access to a cooperative source of blood. Morbidity can pull the character toward either destruction or restoration, giving the same clan mechanics room for very different personal priorities.

Disciplines

Auspex

Perception that reaches beyond ordinary senses.

Fortitude

Resistance to harm and coercion beyond ordinary endurance.

Oblivion

Powers concerned with supernatural darkness and the dead.

Bane

Hecata Bane

The bite causes pain, making even an agreed feeding difficult.

Direct feeding uses harmful drinks that cause blood loss. An unwilling mortal tries to escape unless restrained. A willing or coerced mortal must succeed at Stamina + Resolve, Difficulty 2 + Bane Severity, to endure the feeding without struggling. A willing or coerced vampire instead tests terror frenzy at Difficulty 3.

Compulsion

Morbidity

Choose something to end or restore. Actions that do neither lose 2 dice until the vampire succeeds. The subject can be a living being, an object, or something less tangible; completion can be literal or figurative.
