Blood Beacon
Auspex •••, Linagem •••••
This Devotion expands the capability of a Corajoso to use blood as a marking device. The vampire can smear any object with a small amount of Vitae, and then ever after, even if the blood is washed away, he can view the area surrounding that object. He can also use such “marked” objects as relay points for the Distant Mastery power (see above), just as if they were blood bound individuals.
Effect
Once the mark is in place, the effect is permanent. The character can view the area surrounding the marker when within 50 miles of it, or more, subject to the rules for Distant Mastery. To view a marker’s area, the player rolls Wits + Occult + Linagem.
Dramatic Failure: The blood on the object boils to the surface and then evaporates. The effect is broken, and the character cannot use that object as a Blood Beacon without marking it again.
Failure: The character cannot see the Beacon’s surroundings.
Success: The character can see the Beacon’s surroundings. This sight lasts for one turn per success, and the character can change his “angle” from the object as he sees fit.
Exceptional Success: The character can see from the Beacon for the remainder of the scene.
