••••• Stars in Alignment
Lorna claimed that no will or action was necessary for her phenomenal good fortune, but this power puts lie to that. It requires the vampire to spend as much as several hours in Meditation, but after that, everything she does seems to succeed, bad luck doesn’t touch her and her enemies are welladvised to leave her alone. This power is exhausting, however. Even Lorna doesn’t use it every night.
Effect
Dramatic Failure: Events are decidedly not going to go the character’s way tonight. Every roll the player makes for that night suffers a –3 penalty. The player can make a Wits + Composure roll (subject to that penalty) to notice that things have gone horribly awry and that it would be a good idea for the character to simply stay in her Haven, but if this roll fails, she has no idea that the power failed.
Failure: No progress is made toward the goal.
Success: The character makes progress toward her goal. If the player achieves 10 successes, the character has found her rhythm, so to speak, for the night. All actions she undertakes receive a +3 modifier, as do any resistance traits even if they aren’t rolled (including Defense). She cannot, however, regain Willpower during this night or for the following night.
Exceptional Success: Significant progress is made toward the goal. As per a normal success, though the character may regain Willpower as normal.

Applied Restriction
The character can enact this power at any time during the night, but must remain in deep Meditation the entire time. If she is interrupted, all successes are forfeited and the attempt is considered a failure. She can break off the attempt at any time and simply does not enjoy the benefits. Only one attempt at this power can be made in a given night.
