Potence
All vampires are capable of short bursts of preternatural strength, simply through the expenditure of blood. Practitioners of the Potence discipline have tapped into the primal quality of their blood in order to make such strength permanent. The inhuman might of Potence is incredible and clearly supernatural. With this discipline, a vampire can easily break bones or shatter stone. Armor is meaningless to her, as are obstacles. Anything in her way will simply be demolished or hurled aside.
Each dot of Potence represents an additional increase to a character’s physical strength, and each dot stacks with all other mechanical bonuses granted by other dots of this discipline. If your character has Vigor (Potence •••), she also has the bonuses granted by Prowess (Potence •) and Might (Potence ••), which she must possess to reach Vigor.
Potence powers are always active, and do not normally require Blood to activate. Some techniques and elder powers may require Blood or an action to activate; refer to each power for specifics. The Potence powers cannot be used outside of hand-to-hand and melee combat range, unless the power specifies that you can do so.
“Son, I’ll punch you so hard that when someone pulls you out of the ground, they’ll have to crown him King of England.” — Vance St. Benedict, Cardinal of the Sabbat
