Child of the Night
Beast Sense, Animalism •
The primeval vampires of Belial's Brood are known for their intuitive understanding of the more primal aspects of existence, and this power is a natural extension of that understanding. With Child of the Night, a Forsworn can draw upon the acuity of his own Beast to sense the presence of all “low animals” in his vicinity.
Effect
Each success on the activation roll allows the user to increase the range of his Perception. With one success, he can sense the presence of certain animal life in his immediate vicinity — defined as roughly 100 yards. Each success thereafter increases the range by a further 100 yards. A dramatic failure indicates that the vampire cannot get an accurate sense of nearby animal life forthe remainder of the scene. Only “low animals” can be detected by means of this power, a category that includes arachnids, bats, rats, reptiles, wolves and insects of allvarieties. (Apart from this list, the Storyteller is the final arbiter of what constitutes a “low animal” for the purposes of this Devotion.) The Forsworn detects the presence and approximate number of animals of each type, but he cannot pinpoint their exact location. This power does detect supernatural creatures who have assumed the shape of one of the aforementioned creatures, but it doesn’t distinguish them from any normal animal of the same type (unless it’s a vampire in animal form, in which case the Forsworn detects the vampire’s presence).
