Syncope

(Dominate ••, Auspex ••••)

Vampire the Requiem - Bloodlines the Chosen
Through the use of this Devotion, an Agoniste forces a vampire to experience a brief moment of torpor-like fog, stunning the target and sometimes leaving her thoughts muddled. The Agoniste must make eye contact with the target to use this power.

Effect

Success stuns the target for one turn. During this time, the target slips into a momentary Fugue, utterly unaware of his surroundings. Any aggressive action taken toward the subject jerks him out of the effect immediately, and he is free to defend himself normally.
Observant Kindred who are affected by this power notice that they experience a brief flash of nightmarish imagery, exactly like the type that spools and repeats throughout Torpor. Some Agonistes use this power as a means to demonstrate the sleep that awaits an elder who does not employ their assistance.
