MET LARP SRD

Of all the emotions, fear is perhaps closest to one’s psyche at any given time: a primordial relic to ensure vigilance against predators. It is unsurprising, therefore, that vampires have two disciplines that readily manipulate it. You have perfected the ability to incite a flight response in your victims, sending them into a panicked state. Archons and Templars favor this power, relishing the ability to drive their quarry into a panicked state before the kill.

Whenever you target someone with the Presence power Dread Gaze, you may choose to announce your use of Mortal Terror. If you succeed in the opposed challenge to activate Dread Gaze, in addition to the normal effects of that power, your target also responds to rage, fire, and hunger as though she had 2 additional Beast traits above her current level. For example, a vampire with 1 Beast trait responds to rage, fire, and hunger as if she had 3 Beast traits. While this power may prompt a target to commit acts during frenzy that lower her Humanity score, the effects of Mortal Terror do not apply when determining Humanity loss. For example, if a vampire has 3 or 4 Beast traits, she does not automatically lose a point of Humanity for reaching 5 or more Beast traits due to Mortal Terror. She does, however, make degeneration challenges and tests to resist frenzy including the penalty from Mortal Terror in addition to her current number of Beast traits. In addition, your target must attempt to resist frenzy if her new Beast trait total causes her to meet the conditions for a frenzy check. For example, if a target of Mortal Terror is considered to have 3 Beast traits and she is also in the presence of a large flame, she must test to resist fear frenzy. Likewise, if her total number of Blood points is less than half of her total Blood pool, or if she receives 2 or more points of damage in a single blow, she must test to resist frenzy as well. Mortal Terror augments Dread Gaze. Other powers that affect the use of Dread Gaze, such as Pavis of the Foul Presence or Tyrant’s Gaze, affect this technique also, including any attribute focus effects or when re-exerting the power as part of an exceptional success. This power may be used in conjunction with Fearful Blow or other powers that augment Dread Gaze. A target can only be affected by a single application of this power at a given time; multiple applications are not cumulative.
