MET LARP SRD

Even among the most cooperative predators, there exists a hierarchy. Everyone, from the strongest to the weakest, knows their strength relative to the others. Typically, this knowledge is gained by participating a series of subtle tests taking the form of anything from a direct challenge to simple horseplay. Using this power, you are able to test the mettle of those around you, finding their strength relative to yours. Pulse of Undeath is a favorite power of Brujah, who often use it as an implicit threat. Test Pool Mental attribute + Investigation skill or Physical attribute + Athletics skill versus target’s Mental attribute + Willpower

Spend 1 point of Blood and expend your standard action to glare at your target and make a simple show of force. This act could take the form of growling softly, brandishing of a weapon, or pounding your fist into your open hand. If you succeed in an opposed challenge, your target becomes instantly aware that she is the object of your attention, as well as a potential target. If you are concealed by a supernatural power, such as the Obfuscate power Unseen Presence, you immediately become visible when you activate Pulse of Undeath. You immediately learn if your target has fewer, equal or more dots than you currently possess of the following Physical disciplines: Celerity, Fortitude, and Potence. For the purpose of this comparison, possessing any elder power equates to a 6th dot of a discipline, and a luminary power equates to a 7th dot of that discipline. This power does not reveal if your target has any techniques using the listed Physical disciplines, nor can you determine the relative quantity of elder powers she possesses. In addition, you automatically gain your target’s Gaze and Focus for five minutes, as long as your target is able to see you. (See MET: VTM: Chapter Four: Disciplines: Gaze and Focus.) It is impossible to hide the use of this technique with the Subterfuge skill.
