Discipline Power · Vampire · Level 8
The True Brujah usually use this power to confirm historical events, but many find it useful to discover the secrets of their peers and their enemies. When this power is used, it appears as if time is moving backwards at the character’s command. But in truth the True Brujah is only seeing images of what has happened here before. The ability only works in the area the character is in, and cannot show anything happening through walls. Ghostly images of what occurred in the area can be seen as far as anyone can normally see. So they can look out of the window and see what happened outside, but not see past a wall, even if it wasn’t built until recently. Nothing is taken away, only added to. However, if you made a hole in wall you could see what was on the other side of it through the hole.
System: To activate this power the True Brujah needs to make a Stamina + Occult roll (difficulty 9) and spend a blood point. The result of the roll shows the maximum time they can rewind their view to.
| Successes | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 success | One week |
| 2 successes | One month |
| 3 successes | One year |
| 4 successes | One century |
| 5 successes | One millennia |
Within this limit, they can look at any time they like, but they have to focus on a particular and specific time to go back to. If they don’t know when they are looking for they will have to watch the images as they flash past and make a Wits + Alertness roll. The difficulty is equal to 5 + the amount of successes. It takes an hour to review every ten years, and after an hour, the character must spend another blood point to maintain the power. To conserve blood when looking into the deep past, the True Brujah might shift their view back 50 years, for instance, before starting to make Wits + Awareness rolls as they know what they want to see happened 50-100 years ago. In this way, visions of the ancient past might take several attempts before the True Brujah finds the right area of time to focus on.
