The Path of Grief • Level 5

For every living and unliving being, death is an inevitable truth. As the final stage of grief, acceptance is the realization of that truth – a state of release where the psyche is freed from the ego and prepares itself for what lies beyond. Some have described this state of mind as immensely liberating; a blissful window of clarity wherein they were finally able to find themselves.

Cost

1 Blood

Focus

Manipulation

The Storyteller will inform you which of the options your target has chosen. You may inquire discreetly through the Storyteller so that your target does not know that you are aware of her choice.

Test Pool

Social attribute + Occult skill versus target’s Social attribute + Willpower.

System

Spend a point of Blood and your standard action as you inform your target of her imminent demise. You must have your target’s Gaze and Focus to use this power. If you succeed in an opposed challenge, for the next 10 minutes your target’s psyche is overcome with the certainty that her life is about to end and must choose the circumstances as to how she will perish. She must select from one of the following restrictions and inform the Storyteller privately of her choice (inform her she should not tell you which restriction she has chosen). Should she be attacked or become threatened, the chosen restriction will apply.

While the player may choose freely, this is not a conscious choice for her character. Therefore, she cannot be coerced into a specific option through the use of Dominate or other powers. However, once she has chosen, she will immediately suspect her life is at risk. She will know what her restriction is, and may act in advance of being directly threatened to preserve her life.

A character under the effects of this power may not relent to powers which might compel her to act against her restriction, such as Dominate or Dread Gaze, but she is affected by them normally. In the event of a stalemate, such as if the target wishes to fight but her opponents remain out of reach and visible, she is not obliged to take any action and can act freely until circumstances change.

Exceptional Success

You may eliminate one of the three options as a choice for your target. She may only choose from the remaining two options.
