MET LARP SRD

Shroud of Night calls on a small portion of the Abyss to manifest in the physical world. Using the properties of smoke and ash, practitioners of Abyss Mysticism can draw on their deep connection to the Abyss to bolster a Shroud’s power causing it to turn back even the fiercest of opponents with its impenetrable defense. 

In order to cast Adornment of Ashes, you must first burn a small quantity of black hardwood, such as ebony or African blackwood, to ash. Thereafter, you may spend 1 point of Blood to infuse the ash with supernatural power, and use the ash to draw a visible rune, openly displayed somewhere on your body. Lasombra familiar with Catholicism often choose the forehead for this sigil, displaying their strength to all who view them.

After casting this ritual, and for the remainder of the night, whenever you use Shroud of Night and remain in its area of effect you cannot be targeted by powers that require Gaze and Focus, even if your opponents’ attempt to use the Blind Fighting combat maneuver or employ supernaturally enhanced vision, such as that provided by Heightened Senses or Eyes of the Beast. You, however, can still target others with your own powers that require Gaze and Focus. 

If the ashen rune drawn is significantly marred, the effects of Adornment of Ashes immediately end. An opponent in combat may attempt to disrupt the rune by successfully using the Disarm combat maneuver to target it.
