Medusa’s Scales

Amphivena •••, Resilience •••

Vampire the Requiem - Covenant - Circle of the Crone

With this power, a Gorgon can transform her flesh into firm, shining scales sturdy enough to protect her from harm. These scales grant temporary armor, shedding and flaking away soon after they form.

Effect

If the roll is successful, the Gorgon grows scales over the course of her turn. They rise up and break free of her flesh like a peeling burn, hardened and crusted with blood. These scales grant the Gorgon armor (Rating: 3, Defense: –1) against all physical attacks except fire. Each success of fire damage destroys one point of the armor’s Rating in addition to damaging the Gorgon as usual (the armor is a part of her, after all).
This power can only be activated once per scene.
