MET LARP SRD
(2013 BNS MET System)
Summon
Presence • Level 4
Your powers of persuasion are so strong that you can mystically compel others to come when you beckon, even if they are miles away. The mere memory of your beauty and inspiring personality haunts them, and they feel the soft, insistent call of your spirit summoning them to your side.
Cost
1 Blood
Focus
Manipulation
You can Summon your Retainers, ghouls, and individuals who are blood bound to you without expending Blood or a standard action. You can use this aspect of Summon even when you are staked or in torpor. This is an exception to the rule that prevents powers from being used while staked or in torpor.
System
To Summon another individual, spend 1 point of Blood and expend a standard action. Make an opposed challenge against a familiar target.
Once you have begun a Summons, you cannot leave the area where you initiated the power, or the Summons will immediately end. If you succeed, the target of your Summons automatically realizes she has been affected by the use of a power, as well as the identity of the individual performing the Summons, and the location where she is to meet with you. If your target doesn’t trust you, she can spend a brief period of time, up to 10 minutes, taking precautions before answering your Summons.
A summoned target will come as quickly and directly as possible, but she also retains her survival instincts. The target will not walk off a cliff or enter a situation that she realizes may be an ambush.
If it is not possible for a character to present herself to you physically without entering a dangerous situation, the target must come as close as possible and contact you in some other way, such as via a phone call, forcing a human to deliver a note, or sending an animal messenger. If the target is not aware of an overt risk to her safety, she will respond to your Summon in person, even if you have sinister plans.
Summoned mortals will continue following your call across any distance, no matter how much time it takes to reach your side, so long as you remain on the premises where you initiated the Summon. They will eventually present themselves to you, even if they have to travel for days. Supernatural creatures travel as far as possible until they reach you or until the next sunrise, whichever comes first.
Exceptional Success
The target of your Summons doesn’t know the power has been used, and, therefore, also cannot sense the identity of the individual summoning her. She will move to present herself at your location without realizing why — or where she’s headed. Your Summon still ends if the target can’t approach you without walking into an obviously dangerous situation.
