Hands of the Beast

Vampire the Requiem - Covenant - Belial's Brood

Forsworn who give their flesh over to the Beast understand that the Adversary hungers for the blood of the living. Empowered with dark Vitae, a vampire’s fists take on a bruised and blackened appearance. By channeling sarx-stained blood into his hands, a vampire whets his Beast’s appetite for violence, allowing his brawling attacks to tear through flesh and bone with frightening ease.

Effect

Until the beginning of the vampire’s next turn after activating this Investment, all his brawl attacks inflict lethal damage. In addition, they also benefit from a +2 bonus to damage against living opponents during this time, while vampires wounded by the Hands of the Beast take a –2 penalty on frenzy and Rötschreck rolls as long as the wounds inflicted by this power remain. If the Forsworn activates this power while he is himself in frenzy (and he may), the benefits last for the duration of the frenzy.
