Immutable Mind
Dominate •, Resilience •
The moment a Ventrue learns that it’s possible to scrub clean memories with Dominate, he almost always has an uncomfortable realization: “That could have been used on me!” This is unacceptable, and in the typical Carthian can-do spirit, a Devotion has been developed to cope with it.
Effect
While a character is protected by Immutable Mind, attempts to use Dominate on the character are hindered by the character’s own mastery of Dominate. If the roll is contested, the defender with Immutable Mind gets to add his rating in Dominate to his attempts to resist.
Example: Travis has Dominate •• and has activated Immutable Mind. When a rival for Carthian office attempts to Mesmerize him, the contested pool is the rival’s Intelligence + Expression + Dominate. Usually, Travis would resist with Resolve + Blood Potency, but Immutable Mind allows him to roll Resolve + Blood Potency + Dominate.
