Psychic Drain
Auspex • Level 6
Legends speak of psychic vampires who feed on the energy of their targets, devouring it as hungrily as vitae, leaving their targets empty shells of their former selves. With this ability, you can harvest the will of your victims and use it to fuel your supernatural powers. Some vampires who possess Psychic Drain claim that, immediately upon using the power, they taste the blood of their prey.
Cost
1 Blood
System
Spend 1 point of Blood and a standard action to attack your opponent’s mind. Make an opposed challenge against your target using the Auspex test pool. If you succeed, your victim loses 2 points of Willpower; however, her Willpower cannot be reduced below zero. For the remainder of the turn, you may spend the points of Willpower you removed from your opponent as if they were your own, though they do not count toward your defensive pools. If you do not use these Willpower points before the turn expires, you lose them at the end of the turn. A character attacked by a Psychic Drain immediately knows where the attack originated from and who the attacker was if there is more than one individual in that location. You can use Psychic Drain on subsequent actions against the same target even if you lose the opposed challenge; this is an exception to the rule that prohibits a character from using a power on the same target immediately after failing.
Exceptional Success
The Willpower points you gain from Psychic Drain are lost at the end of the scene instead of at the end of the turn. In addition, your target may not regain Willpower for the next hour.
