• Feeble Shadow

Vampire the Requiem - Covenant - Carthians

All Kindred fear the sun and fire, but the Mekhet suffer its kiss worse than most. Victor Spanos always held the Shadows in special contempt for their obvious frailty, and the most basic precepts of Impurity allow the Deucalion to cause other Kindred to wither quickly under the sunlight.
This power has no effect on Mekhet Kindred or any bloodline descended from the Mekhet.

Effect

Dramatic Failure: The Deucalion suffers the effects of this power until the next sunset.
Failure: The power has no effect. The character can try again next turn, but the spent Vitae is lost.
Success: The target suffers one additional point of aggravated damage from fire or sunlight, as described for the Mekhet on p. 109 of Vampire: The Requiem. The effect lasts until the next sunset.
Exceptional Success: As above, but the Resilience Discipline becomes useless for purposes of “downgrading” aggravated damage from fire or sunlight during this time.

Applied Restriction

To use this power, the character must touch the subject’s skin. To do this in combat requires the player to roll Dexterity + Brawl – the target’s Defense. Armor does not apply, but if the target’s clothing is covering most of his body, the vampire might need to specify reaching for the face or other uncovered skin, which might impose additional negative modifiers at the Storyteller’s discretion.
