Shepherd’s Watch

Level 4

Obeah • Level 4

Like a shepherd guarding her flock from wolves and other predators, those who seek your protection can find peace and shelter in your presence. An aura of gentle vigilance surrounds you, lending a sense of hope and calmness to those who remain close by.

Cost

1 Blood

Focus

Wits

Characters protected by your Shepherd’s Watch also gain a + 3 bonus to Dodge- and Survival-based defense test pools.

System

Spend 1 Blood and use your standard action to activate Shepherd’s Watch. Shepherd’s Watch protects you and all individuals you choose, including creatures and people, so long as they are within two steps of you. While this power is active, no one with hostile intent can come within five steps of you or those you choose to guard. If an individual standing within five steps chooses to attack or use a hostile power targeting you or those you are guarding, the attempt automatically fails. The attacker is immediately and automatically pushed five steps away from her target as though by a gentle, supernatural hand.

Shepherd’s Watch does not prevent individuals using ranged weapons or powers from attacking you or those you protect. If an individual protected by your Shepherd’s Watch attacks or targets someone with a hostile power (whether targeting an individual inside or outside of your aura), she immediately loses the protection of Shepherd’s Watch. Such a character cannot be protected by the power for the next hour.

Once Shepherd’s Watch is activated, and you have chosen the individuals you are protecting with this power, you cannot add other individuals to that protection unless you reactivate Shepherd’s Watch. There is no limit to the number of individuals you can protect with this power, so long as they remain within five steps of your physical form.

Every turn after the first, you must spend 1 point of Blood to keep Shepherd’s Watch active. If you stop spending Blood, or take any action other than speech or simple movement, this power immediately ends.
