Carry The Mountain’s Burden
Combination Discipline · Vampire · “Carry The Mountain’s Burden (Visceratika ••••, Fortitude •••)”
Gargoyles who master the Armor of Terra (V20, p. 476) can make themselves even tougher by using it in conjunction with their Fortitude. These Disciplines work together to make the Gargoyle into an unstoppable brute that requires a miracle to take down. For obvious reasons, this is a favorite choice of Sentinel Gargoyles.
System: The Gargoyle spends a point of Willpower to enhance their Armor of Terra strategically with the supernatural toughness of Fortitude. All bonuses and penalties for the Armor of Terra double for the remainder of the combat scene. The Gargoyle receives two extra soak dice for aggravated and lethal soak dice pools. It also gains four dice to soak bashing wounds, ignores two levels of wound penalties, and reduces any fire-based damage pools to a quarter (round down) of their original size. All touch-based Perception-rolled have a difficulty of +4 (maximum of 9) because the Gargoyle’s skin becomes even tougher.
This power costs 21 experience points to learn.
