Tongue of the Asp

Protean ••

■Prerequisite: Eyes of the Serpent (Serpentis)

The vampire may lengthen her tongue at will, splitting it into a fork like that of a serpent. The tongue may reach 18 inches or half a meter, and makes a terrifyingly effective weapon in close combat.

■Cost: One Rouse Check

■System: The lash of the tongue’s razor fork causes +2 aggravated Brawl damage to Mortals and unhalved superficial Brawl damage to Kindred and other Supernatuals. If the Kindred wounds her enemy, she may drink blood from the target on the next turn as though she had sunk her fangs into the victim’s neck. Horrifying though it is, the tongue’s caress is very like the Kiss, and strikes mortal victims helpless with fear and ecstasy. Additionally, the tongue is highly sensitive to vibrations, enabling the vampire to function effectively in the darkness the Clan prefers. By flicking his tongue in and out of his mouth, the vampire gains a +1 bonus to Wits + Awareness (taste) checks

■Duration: One Scene.
