MET LARP SRD

Your Silence of Death can extend up to five steps. Additionally, you can invoke Silence of Death on a static location rather than having the power’s barrier surround you. Once you have created a static Silence of Death, the barrier remains stationary, even if you placed the Silence of Death on an object which is then moved.

Spend 1 point of Blood and use a simple action to create an area of absolute silence. The area affected by Silence of Death is a sphere surrounding your physical form. This sphere extends a maximum of three steps in every direction, though you may choose to make the sphere of effect smaller, if you wish. Once created, you can shrink the size of the sphere by spending a simple action, but you cannot extend it to exceed the three-step maximum.

Sounds originating within the sphere of your Silence of Death are completely silenced. Powers that rely on sound can be blocked by Silence of Death. This might mean such powers fail at origin, because the user is within the silence, or it might mean that these powers fail because the target of such a power is within the sound-dampening sphere. This includes effects such as the Melpominee power Death of the Drum and the Dominate powers Mesmerism or Command (though Dominate powers can be utilized without sound, and such applications succeed).

Note that some uses of blood magic, such as Thaumaturgy or Necromancy , require the caster to speak. However, those powers do not require their target be able to hear the words spoken. Thus, such powers are not hampered by Silence of Death, even if the user of those powers is within the globe.

Silence of Death lasts for a maximum of 10 minutes, unless you end the power early by spending a simple action.
