Repulsion

Presence •••

• Amalgam: Dominate 3, Presence 3

This disgusting power has been developed by a 400-year old Russian Elder Zhabroedov, whose name translates as Gill-Eater. The vampire projects unpleasant imagery into another's head (originally, victims of Zhabroedov's power tried to analyze his name, creating imagery of eating gills or with gills or both in their minds). Mortals expunge the contents of their stomachs, and if those are empty -- their innards, while Kindred throw up blood, embarassing themselves in front of the power's user.

• Cost: 1 Rouse check.
• Dice Pool: Charisma+Presence vs. Composure+Resolve
• System: The vampire chooses one single target that they can use Dominate and Presence against and enter a contest. Unprepared mortals automatically fail, receiving superficial damage equal to the user's Presence and Dominate levels combined. If the user succeeds in a contest against a prepared mortal or another vampire, the target feels a strong compulsion to vomit. They can withstand this effect for an amount of rounds equal to their Stamina rating (in a social setting, consider a round to be 6 seconds). One can also spend a Willpower point per turn in order to hold out longer. The target still appears visually troubled and unwell. After they can no longer keep it in, they expunge the contents of their stomachs or blood, receiving superficial health (if mortal) or willpower (if Kindred) damage equal to the margin of success. Vampires also have their Hunger increase by 2. On a critical success, the target vomits immediately. All the resulting effects apply as usual.
• Duration: Until the target vomits.
