Everything

When a Kindred invokes the Vengeance of the Martyr’s Legacy, she sends a surge of blood-rage through her bloodline, causing all those descended from her to enter frenzy at that moment, no matter where they are or what they’re doing. Even those Kindred on opposite side of the world succumb to this frenzy, even if they’ve entered their daily slumber. It is outmoded in a similar manner to Scourging the Instinct, above, but such are the realities of the earliest nights of the Movement.

This is a dangerous power to use, for few Kindred (and even fewer Anarchs) know where all their childer, grand-childer, and others are located at any given time or what they might be doing. As such, some Kindred believe that the powerful patron of a small and localized brood developed Legacy of Frenzy, likely in preparation for them to wreak havoc upon the moment of his betrayal or some other situation in which such a death-trigger would prove useful.

System

This power comes in two variants. The impulse variant (Presence 6) costs 1 Willpower to invoke and causes the Kindred’s descendants to make a Self-Control roll against a difficulty of 8, wherever they are. The mandate variant (Presence 7) costs 1 Willpower to activate and provokes the frenzy in all of the Kindred’s descendants without requiring a roll (though the frenzying Kindred may briefly subvert the frenzy with Willpower as normal). For more information on frenzy and Willpower, see pp. 297-299 of V20.
