••••• Necrosis

Vampire the Requiem - Covenant - Lancea Sanctum

Osites who have mastered Memento Mori consider themselves to be like Death himself. With this power, the Osite can unbalance the mystic energies of others without disrupting his own Cursed state. With just a look, a victim the Osite can see directly is made to experience the sensation of death as his body rots and decays like a corpse. Living flesh wrinkles, grows soft and bleeds. Kindred Vitae rots in the veins.

Effect

Dramatic Failure: The Osite’s own energies are thrown out of balance. He loses Vitae equal to his Blood Potency.
Failure: The power has no effect on the chosen victim.
Success: The Osite sends a wave of death and decay through the victim. Mortals and living supernatural creatures suffer a point of lethal damage per success scored. Kindred and ghouls lose one Vitae per success scored, or one point of lethal damage per success scored when their Vitae is gone.
Exceptional Success: No additional effect beyond the staggering damage done.

Applied Restriction

An Osite must be able to see his victim directly to activate Necrosis. A victim spied through glass is susceptible, but one seen through a CCTV system is not. The damaging effects of this power make the body seem rotten or old-aged, but the appearance gradually returns to normal if the damage is healed.
