Escape Clause

Prerequisites

Daimoinon 2
Dominate 4

Description

Fools and weaklings claim that infernalism means sacrificing one’s freedom, yet they’re the ones bound by petty morality and the power structures to which they bow. Access to power – true power – is the only way to achieve real freedom, and you’ve cut a deal to ensure you’ll never be controlled again

System

This power allows you to draw on a demonic pact to thwart the effects of hostile powers that limit your free will. Whenever a power’s effect compels you to do something you wish to avoid, such as Dominate, Dread Gaze, Majesty, or a Blood Contract, you may activate this power without spending an action to do so. When you do, a demon or infernal entity issues you an irresistible compulsion that circumvents the triggering effect for a single turn. The triggering effect immediately resumes after the turn is over, but you do not suffer consequences for having acted against it. However, this service is not free. Each activation of this power inflicts 1 point of normal damage that cannot be reduced or negated, plus 1 additional point of damage that cannot be reduced or negated for each previous time you’ve used this power that game session. For example, if you activate this power for the third time in a game session, you suffer a total of 3 points of damage. Using this power can cause your character to enter torpor if you lose exactly all of your remaining health levels. If you activate this power and the damage it inflicts exceeds your remaining health levels, you enter torpor and your soul is immediately ripped from your body and brought before your demonic master. Whether you return from such an encounter is up to the Storyteller’s discretion, as are the conditions of your return. This power only works against a single effect at a time. Should you wish to avoid multiple effects at once, you must activate Escape Clause multiple times. This power does not work if you attempt to use it against any infernal entity you serve, or its designated subordinates, if it desires.
