MET LARP SRD

(2013 BNS MET System)

Dread Gaze

Level 2

Presence • Level 2

A vampire’s Beast is a terrifying thing, feral and predatory. Using Dread Gaze allows the Beast to surface, focusing its rage on another individual. A vampire’s bloodthirsty nature is apparent in her features as the Beast hisses or roars in dark, primal wrath. Those targeted by this fearsome power often quail before it, fleeing in terror from the fury of the Beast.

Focus

Manipulation

You can expose the fury of your Beast without revealing your vampiric nature. Instead of bearing your fangs and hissing, you glare at your target. Your eyes seem bright and piercing, brows knitted and features writ in anger; your motions are predatory — but your visage is not a breach of the Masquerade. Observers will notice that you appear aggressive toward your opponent, but they will have no reason to think you are a vampire.

System

Expend a standard action as your character bares her fangs and hisses or roars at her target, and then make an opposed challenge against your target. If you are successful, she is overcome by fear. She will not willingly come within five steps of you for the next five minutes, and actively seeks to avoid your presence and your anger.

A character who has been affected by your Dread Gaze will not attack you unless she has no other option. If forced into a confined place with you, the victim may fight you in order to escape, but will move away and stop fighting at the earliest opportunity.

Exceptional Success

For the rest of the evening, if you make any aggressive movement towards the individual who has been subjected to your successful Dread Gaze, this power will re-exert itself, and your victim will be forced to back away, suffering the effect of Dread Gaze for another five minutes.
