Temptation
Discipline Power · Vampire · Level 6
This power lets a Setite tempt the victim into some action that she normally wouldn’t do. This is usually some sinful action, but Temptation works just as well to provoke unwanted generosity as greed, or chastity as well as lust.
The Setite must talk to the victim for at least a minute and allude to the action she wants the victim to perform.
System: To goad the victim, the character must make a successful Manipulation + Leadership roll (difficulty of the target’s Humanity or Path of Enlightenment rating). A simple success results in a change to the victim’s personality and goals for a scene. If the number of successes exceeds the victim’s Conscience or Conviction rating, the change lasts indefinitely (although the victim may overcome it with time and expenditure of Willpower, like a Derangement).
The Setites have created many variations on this power. The player chooses which variation at the time of purchasing this power. Sample variations include:
Obsession: The victim suffers an overpowering lust for a certain substance, action, or condition. She may fly into a rage (the victim receives a frenzy check) if she cannot possess or experience the object of her desire before her next sleep.
True Will: This persuades the victim, for a time, to act on any passing desire, or according to his Nature, without self-restraint.
