••••• Choking Cloud
At the highest levels, the character develops the power to dissolve his body into the choking cloud of gas, becoming the poison, directing and controlling it.
Effect
In gaseous form, the character can move at her normal Speed, slip under doors and through cracks in window frames.
She can also force living victims to inhale her poison, curling smoky tentacles around her victim’s throat, driving gas into the mouth and nose. The character must make a grapple attack (see the World of Darkness Rulebook p. 157) to do so. The vampire only needs to succeed in one grapple attack for the poison to take effect, at which point the victim’s player must roll to avoid poison damage.

Applied Restriction
If the gaseous vampire is caught in high winds or heavy rain, the player must roll Stamina + Resolve. If the weather is particularly bad, the dice pool suffers a penalty of -1 to -3 at the Storyteller’s discretion. If the roll fails, the gas disperses, and the character reforms at the next sunset in the same spot. A character can return to solid form at will with an instant action.
