Sleepwalker
Dominate ••, Insomnium •••
Kindred who practice the Dominate Discipline enjoy use of secret triggers that force victims to perform unusual behaviors. Combined with the Insomnium Discipline, such triggers work on the sleeping mind, being used to impose commands while a subject slumbers.
Effect
The Alucinor can impart a command for later use, as with the Mesmerize power of the Dominate Discipline, but causes it to occur while the subject is asleep. (Establishing the command requires eye contact as with other Dominate powers; it cannot be established while a subject sleeps.) The subject’s sleeping mind can obey only very simple tasks, so the order cannot be more complicated than a simple noun-verb combination such as “Get up and open the door” or “Unlock your window.” The trigger can be the moment the subject falls asleep, when the subject first dreams, or when the subject hears some outside noise, voice or speech (remaining asleep all while). The subject does not undertake any act that would be dangerous or fatal (such as a vampire going outside in daylight). Nor can a subject undertake complex actions that require intricate thought (such as assembling an item and mailing it, or hunting down a particular person and attacking him). This command may be overridden by normal uses of Mesmerize, and can potentially be unearthed with Telepathy. The subject has no memory of the command or of performing the required action. The activity is performed only once per application of this devotion, and no more than one trigger and command can apply to a subject at one time.
If the power is applied to a vampire with whom the user has a blood tie, a +2 bonus is gained on the activation roll.
