Effect

Observe the target for a turn, then roll Intelligence + Auspex against Composure + Subterfuge for a mental weakness or Stamina + Subterfuge for a physical weakness. A win reveals the lowest defense pool in that category and grants you two bonus dice when attacking that pool. Allies you inform receive one bonus die instead.
