MET LARP SRD
(2013 BNS MET System)
Erosion
Quietus • Level 7
The potency of toxins and venoms created throughout the animal kingdom vary in strength and intensity. Some are used to discourage attackers and others to weaken otherwise powerful prey. By calling upon the potency of vitae and invoking your clan’s mandate to punish the wicked, you purify your vitae into a deadly weapon to overwhelm a target’s resolve, diminishing her strength and crippling her attacks against you and your allies.

1 Blood
System
When activating Scorpion’s Touch, you may spend an additional point of Blood to enact Erosion. The poisons you generate with Erosion are extremely potent and capable of devastating harm over time. Whenever your target is struck by your application of Erosion, she receives a -2 penalty to her Physical attribute instead of just her Physical attack pools. A character’s test pool cannot be reduced below 1 in this way. In addition, your applications of this power are now cumulative with other applications of this power, either by you or from another vampire. For example, if after striking your opponent once with a weapon coated by your Scorpion’s Touch you strike her a second time, your opponent’s penalty to her Physical attribute changes from -2 to -4.
Track any applications of the penalty inflicted by Erosion separately from any normal applications of Scorpion’s Touch for both penalty and duration. For example, if you strike someone who is already afflicted by Scorpion’s Touch, your target now has a -2 penalty to her Physical attribute and a -2 penalty to her Physical attack pools. Both the effects of Scorpion’s Touch and Erosion have a 5-minute duration.
You may utilize this power when using Scorpion’s Touch through the Quietus power Taste of Death.
