••••• Accelerate Disease
Once a Morbus infects a victim with Contaminate or Plague-Bearer (or identifies an infection with Diagnose), he may wreak havoc with the person’s health. By calling on the power of his tainted blood and its sympathy with that of the victim, he can send the subject’s disease into a destructive frenzy that more than likely proves fatal.
Effect
Dramatic Failure: The Morbus sends the disease into remission for the rest of the story. If the victim is only a carrier of the chosen disease and is not affected by it (be he Kindred or just a semi-lucky mortal), a dramatic failure scourges the disease from his system entirely.
Failure: The character has no effect on his chosen victim.
Success: The character automatically inflicts a point of lethal damage per success rolled.
Exceptional Success: As a success, with no additional effect.
If the Morbus activates this power successfully, he accelerates the pace of the disease eating away at a victim to such an extent that the subject starts to die immediately, regardless of any medication he might be on or how advanced the disease is. For every success rolled, the victim suffers one point of lethal damage automatically as buboes or bloody lesions erupt on his flesh, ulcers spill stomach acid, or what have you. This effect occurs in the space of a single turn and the disease returns to its normal pace thereafter, assuming the victim survives. The power has no effect on other Kindred.
