MET LARP SRD
(2013 BNS MET System)
Heart Thief
Serpentis • Level 7
Some believe that the heart is the seat of the soul and that in death, when material wealth is claimed by the state and the earth reclaims the body, it is the heart that remains the last bastion of human memory. Your power supersedes these mortal trappings, giving you the ability to seize the most precious of organs. With an invocation and a twist of the wrist you can extract the heart from a victim’s chest, bypassing the need for ritual or lunar timing.

2 Blood
System
Upon learning this power, you gain the ability to remove the hearts of your victims. To do so, your target must be on the Incapacitated wound track and you must succeed in a Brawl attack. If you succeed in the opposed challenge, you may spend 2 points of Blood to reach into the body of your victim for their heart. This power instantly kills mortals and ghouls but can remove the hearts of vampires. Thereafter, the removed heart functions as if it had been removed through the Serpentis power Heart of Darkness, and can be likewise damaged, destroyed, or replaced. This power may be used during Celerity rounds. Targets who are immune to the Pierce the Heart combat maneuver due to armor with the Chest Plate quality or other effects are likewise immune to this power unless you have the Armor Piercing quality. Characters with the Bonecraft Modification Transformed Biology are not immune to this power, as this power intuitively guides your hand to the correct area. Creatures aside from mortals, ghouls, and vampires cannot be affected by this power. Characters whose hearts have already been removed are not affected by this power.
