Harbinger of Grace

Prerequisites

Obeah 4
Obfuscate 3

Description

Those scattered few Healers remaining are divided as to their purpose in this world. Some believe their existence is transitory: a finite span to be spent in contemplation of Golconda’s mysteries, while others wonder if they may yet have a role to play. With this power, you can assume the bearing of a divine messenger: a relic of a time when Healers intervened more directly in the world’s affairs.

System

Spend 1 point of Blood and use your simple action to assume the appearance of a divine embodiment of mercy from a culture with which you’re familiar. For example, you may choose to appear as a merciful angel, a djinn, or a kindly animal spirit. For the next 10 minutes, all who observe you believe you to truly be a genuine manifestation of the creature you selected. While you have this power active, Stock NPCs of rating 4 or lower cannot attack or interfere with you. Even if they are not religious, they believe that you are serving a divine purpose. In addition, you may beatify a target by spending a simple action to make a noticeable gesture of blessing toward her. Thereafter, for as long as you have this power active, you do not have to spend Blood to activate beneficial powers that target her, such as Corpore Sano or Shepherd’s Watch. You can only affect one target with Harbinger of Grace at a given time. Should you target another character with this power, the effects of this power on a previous target end immediately. When selecting your form, you cannot appear as a named entity or specific deity, but you may attempt to pass as one of a deity’s unnamed servants. You may take on additional features, such as wings or additional arms, but they are not functional. If you have the appropriate Lore skill specialization, you may choose to appear as a spirit or other creature relevant to another supernatural creature type. Anyone who sees you activate this power retains their former awareness of your nature. Others may attempt to pierce this illusion using Auspex or similar powers (see MET: VTM, Auspex And Obfuscate/ Chimerstry). Stock NPCs that pierce the illusion may act normally. If a target you have beatified pierces your illusion, you may still use the other benefits of Harbinger of Grace, such as using beneficial powers on that target at reduced cost.
