MET LARP SRD

To utilize Tyrant’s Gaze, spend 1 Blood, expend your standard action, and make an opposed challenge against your target, using the Dominate test pool. If you succeed, you can select one of the target’s powers. This power becomes locked away in the victim’s blood and cannot be accessed or used for the next hour. If the power is already active, it immediately ends, even if that power would otherwise be automatic or always active. Tyrant’s Gaze can be used multiple times in order to rob a target of more than one power, so long as you pay this power’s cost separately for each use. If you choose to strip a power the victim does not possess, Tyrant’s Gaze has no effect.

When you declare that you are stripping a target’s supernatural speed, endurance, or strength (Celerity, Fortitude, or Potence) you remove the target’s highest-level power in the targeted discipline (including elder powers). If the target has more than one elder power, you choose which one is lost.

Tyrant’s Gaze can be used to lock down a discipline power, elder power, technique, or ritual. It can even strip a power native to another creature type, such as werewolves, fae, or mages. In order to strip a power in this fashion, you don’t need to know the power’s name, but you must be aware of the power or have personally seen it used.

You do not need to speak to use Tyrant’s Gaze, but you must have your target’s focus (see Gaze and Focus). The victim of this power immediately identifies the individual who has affected her with Tyrant’s Gaze, and she is also aware which power she has lost. Tyrant’s Gaze cannot reverse permanent physical alterations. For example, Tyrant’s Gaze may be used to rob a target of the ability to use Heart of Darkness or Fleshcraft, but it cannot undo existing instances of Fleshcraft or return a removed heart.
