Cheat Death

Level-Five Vodoun Ritual

Vampire the Requiem - Ancient Bloodlines
Ghede is Lord of the Dead and keeper of the eternal gateways between life and death, and as such, he has final say over who dies and who lives. A houngan of Ghede may call upon his patron loa to shield him from Final Death. A houngan who performs the ritual Cheat Death is protected by Ghede from Final Death for one hour after the ritual is performed. No matter how hard his foe may try, the houngan simply will not die when under the protection of his patron loa.
Cheat Death may only be performed once a night. After the initial ritual is completed, a houngan can activate the effects of Cheat Death as an instant action at any time within the course of a night. When the effects of Cheat Death have been successfully activated, the vampire is under the protection of the ritual for one hour.
The rightmost Health box cannot be filled with any kind of damage while a character is protected by Cheat Death. If the vampire enters frenzy, however, the ritual is dissolved, and the character may be killed. Wound penalties apply normally to a character protected by this ritual.
Pre-requisite: only available to patrons of Ghede
