Master’s Will

Vampire the Requiem - Covenant - Belial's Brood

Many Forsworn hold that the Beast itself knows no fear, and that it is just the remnant of mortal thought that fills vampires with the memory of fear. To become the master of himself, a vampire must become the predator, and forget the prey. Master’s Will allows the Forsworn to use the eminence of his Beast to steel himself against the frantic pleas of his own mortal mind.
