Veil of Flame
With enough understanding of sarx, a vampire’s flesh can sidestep even the most timeless of banes. Warmed by the inner fire of the Adversary, the Forsworn’s skin becomes inured to the mundane flames of the material world.
Effect
With the reflexive expenditure of but one Vitae, the vampire can render his flesh more resistant to the harmful effects of fire. For the duration of the scene, any and all fire damage inflicted upon the vampire is automatically downgraded from aggravated to bashing damage. As this power is entirely reflexive, a Forsworn may declare its use in response to suffering a fire-based attack (and thereby assuage the attack’s severity), so long as he has not reached his Blood Potency-based per-turn limit in Vitae expenditure at the moment of the attack. This Investment offers no protection from the harmful effects of sunlight or other damage types, and does not downgrade fire-based damage suffered prior to its activation.
