Seek the Brahmin
Auspex ••, Dominate • OR Animalism •
While they might not know it, the Canda Bhanu made their place in Indian Kindred society by usurping that of an existing bloodline. This Devotion, part of their culture even during that usurpation, helped make it possible. With a glance, the vampire becomes aware of the pecking order of a group of people or animals, determining who the wisest, strongest and most respected member of that group is. The vampire can then put that information to whatever use he wishes.
Effect
Once activated, this Devotion lasts for a scene. The information that the character gains is somewhat subjective (the official leader of a group might not be the wisest member), but the character can usually learn who the most capable individual is within the group’s raison d’être. For instance, in a coterie of kshatriya vampires, the character learns who the best warrior is, while in a group of scholars, he discovers who is most learned. Successful use of this Devotion allows the character to utilize his Auspex as a bonus to Politics, Socialize and Subterfuge rolls within that group.
When directed at animals, the Devotion simply identifies the “alpha” of the group, and obviously is only useful with social animals such as wolves.
