'''Resisting'''
Supernatural creatures, such as other Kindred, can be cursed, but if they are aware of it they can resist it with a roll of Temporary WillpowerResolve + Composure. If the target has Premonition, Clairvoyance or a similar power providing great knowledge or prescience, they may add half of their substitute one Attribute for Auspex (or equivalent power rating) to this roll at the Storyteller’s discretion. They need not roll to resist as soon as they become aware of the curse, choosing instead to recover their Willpower if needed, but can only roll to resist the curse once. If failed, they cannot roll to resist again. The difficulty of resisting the curse is the original number of successes rolled.
