Mantle of the Adversary

Vampire the Requiem - Covenant - Belial's Brood

Infusing her body with the power of the Beast, the Forsworn causes her flesh to bloat and harden with dead blood. In this monstrous form she is unnaturally large and inured to all but the most extreme pain. Despite the vampire’s increased girth and stature, the telltale signs of her undead nature are exacerbated while this Investment is active, often producing striking supernatural clues, such as a foul grave stench or an especially unnatural pallor to the skin.

Effect

The vampire receives a +1 bonus to Size, a +2 bonus to Armor rating and ignores all wound penalties until her last Health box is filled with a lethal or aggravated wound, at which point the usual affects apply. In addition, all of the vampire’s social dice pools not relating to Intimidation are at a –2 penalty for so long as she maintains the Mantle of the Adversary. The mantle can be dismissed by silent act of will of the vampire.
