Everything

This power is largely a relic of the days before the Tremere Curse. While many Assamite elders still know it, Draught of the Soul is useless to those who cannot drink the blood of other Cainites. The antitribu can still make use of it, however, and if the Tremere Curse is ever lifted, all Assamites will have the potential to drink the memories of their victims instead of just their souls.

System: This power can only be used when an Assamite commits diablerie. The player spends a number of Willpower points equal to the victim’s Intelligence and then rolls Willpower (difficulty equal to the victim’s permanent Willpower plus one for every Derangement she had; maximum 9).

If the roll is successful, the player gains one experience point for every Skill in which the victim’s rating was equal to or greater than that of the character. The bonus experience points can only be spent to improve Skills in which the victim’s rating equaled or exceeded that of the Assamite. These experience points should be kept in a separate pool. At the Storyteller’s discretion, the character may also be able to access specific memories of the victim, usually while in a dreamlike state. If the player’s roll botches, the character gains a permanent derangement, usually one previously held by the victim if appropriate.

This power costs 27 experience points.
