Scorching Wrath

Celerity ••••

• Amalgam: Potence 4

Clan Brujah might be said to embody many different concepts - rebellion, upheaval, wrath, yet the most universal and accurate would probably be “destruction”.
After a moment of focusing her strength the Vampire can, for a brief period, push her physical prowess far beyond what lesser vampires may think possible, decimating every adversary standing in her way, yet scorching herself from within in the process.

• Cost: 2 Rouse Checks, can be used only once per scene
• Dice Pool: None
• System:
  

First turn:
Power must be activated at the start of the turn. The Vampire spends the first turn concentrating. She can still take actions as normal, but suffers a -2 penalty to all rolls during this turn. The air around her begins to shimmer, like in a heat mirage.

Second Turn:
The Vampire gains following effects for this turn:

• can take two actions and activate two powers
• all learned Celerity and Potence powers providing continuous benefits, such as Fleetness (Corebook p. 253), Uncanny Grip (Corebook p.265) or Prowess (Corebook p.264) are active for this turn
• Rouse Checks can be made only for blood surges or to activate single-use Celerity and Potence powers, such as Blink (Corebook p. 253). When activating these powers, receive a point of aggravated damage for each rouse check made.

Receive 1 point of Aggravated damage at the end of this turn.

The Vampire exits the power visibly charred and bruised, severity depending on the amount of sustained damage.

A Frenzying vampire can benefit from the power on the same turn it was activated, but this increases the damage upon exiting to 3 points.

• Duration: One turn

Optional balance tweaks:

• * choose 3 continuous disciplines to activate for the single turn
• * only powers of level 3 or lower can be activated when using this power
• * a -2 exhaustion penalty for one turn after exiting the power, decreasing to -1 on next turn
• * replace "take two actions" with "add +6 dice for split action pools, no pool can exceed original pool"
• * level 5 power, prevents stacking with lightning strike
