Blissfulltry

By Sean J. Young (sjyoung@nyc.pipeline.com) for the Bloodline of Bliss.

Description

This is the current form of Blissfulltry used by the Bloodline of Bliss. The discipline changes as social situations and illicit drugs change. (For example in the 1920's, LSD did not exist). There are other components of this discipline, but these are the most utilized and taught at the moment. A Bliss member who learns both the newer and older powers has a huge arsenal to choose from.

* Erotic Dream

You are able to make another to suddenly remember the most instense sex she had during her life, not mattering if that was two centuries ago or if she has completely forgotten the event. The effect is so strong that the victim becomes enchanted with the memory and ignores her surroundings for the duration. Only a physical attack will get her attention and even then her actions are at a three die penalty while the dream is still in effect. If the victim has had no sexual experiences while alive, someone she found/finds attractive is seen in the dream.

System: The character must make a Charisma + Subterfuge roll vs. target's Willpower. The number of successes determines the duration of the dream:

1	Two turns
2	One scene (or ten minutes, which ever is longer)
3	Half an hour
4	One full hour
5	The entire evening

Use of a Willpower point will stop the effect, however the target must make a Willpower roll (difficulty of six) to even tap into her Willpower because a part of her wants the dream to continue. If used on human's this may cause an actual orgasm.

** Mommy's/Daddy's Little Masochist

You have the ability to make people experience great pleasure while they are being injured. Even if the target knows that she is being badly damaged, she will feel an overwhelming pleasure as she loses each health level. This fact has a huge effect on her soak roll.

System: The character must make a Manipulation + Empathy roll vs. target's Willpower. Each success allows for two of the target's soak rolls to be affected: the target now needs a eight to soak damage as opposed to a six and both her stamina and fortitude is considered one point less when soaking. This affects lasts the entire night until the successes have run their course. The character may to use the power on herself at anytime. In this case, her soak roll is unaffected, however she may ignore wound penalties.

Example: Polly Poppy uses Mommy's Little Masochist on Spike, a Brujah who has insulted her. She rolls 3 successes. Anytime during the coarse of the night, Spike will need to roll a nine to soak his next six wounds as well as have his pool lowered. Polly considers seducing the Gruff the Gangrel into attacking him...

*** Love Tap

With a touch you can may make a victim experience such sudden and unbelievable pleasure that her body can not endure it and is actually damaged.

System: The Blisser must touch the target and spend one blood point to allow for two such hits. Misses are not counted. Instantly the target will feel an unnaturally sudden, powerful jolt of pleasure that fries her nerves and causes some blood vessels to pop. Some targets' hair have been known to stand on end as if jolted with electricity. Damage is the Blisser's Appearance rating and is aggravated.

**** Acid Trip

You may force a terrible psychedelic experience onto a person. This leaves the person disoriented and confused until the effects ends.

System: Character can affect two people for each point of manipulation she possesses. The targets need only be in eyesight and be within an eight foot circle. Character rolls Manipulation + Intimidation vs. targets Willpowers and consults the "Erotic Dream" table for duration. The targets suddenly see, hear, smell, touch and even taste things in a distorted fashion. Colors swirls and sounds becoming strangely curious. Targets may not spend Willpower for any reason while under its effects and all Abilities are lowered by three (never dropping below one).

***** Kaleidoscopic Form

You may transform your physical body into a column of multi-colored, shifting, pulsating lights resembling a laser show. You can float in any direction at walking speed and are not affected by physical attacks. You may slip through cracks or pass through glass or plastic like normal light.

System: No roll is required, but the transformation requires one blood point and three rounds to complete. If three blood points are spent, the transformation is instantaneous.

****** Aura of Bacchus

The Blisser gives off an aura that changes the moods of those immediately around her. Combined with Majesty, the Blisser becomes very formidable.

System: No rolls are required and the power may be shut on and off at will. Anyone within a 10 ft. circle around the Blisser must make a Conscience roll vs. difficulty 8. If the roll is failed both Demeanor and Nature becomes Bon-Vivant as long as they remain in the Blisser's presence. If a target fails the roll, leaves the 10 ft. radius and then returns, the effect is automatic. Targets who make their rolls need not make them again for the night (vs. that Bliss member).

******* Improved Kaleidoscopic Form

You have gained much more control over your "light show" form.

System: You are so dazzling that you now have a Majesty-like effect. You may also now fly at the speed of sound, leaving a rainbow like trail behind you briefly.

******* Le Petite Morte (The Little Death)

Named after the French term for having an orgasm. This is the dangerous improvement on the "Erotic Dream" discipline that slowly kills the target.

System: The Blisser must use the "Erotic Dream" discipline as well as expend one blood point for each target to be effected (she affect up to her Charisma rating). The duration chart is not used. A crimson, sweet smelling mist leaves the character and surrounds the target. In the target's mind they are embraced by a former lover and remain totally enchanted and unmoving, while in her minds eye she is making love. The mist slowly drains two blood point per turn as well as does aggravated damage equal to the Blisser's Charisma. This continous until the target is dead (or in torpor if she is kindred). After the first turn, the target must attempt to make a Willpower roll (difficulty of 8) per turn or remain entranced as her life is drained away. Others may move the target, however the mist remains around her until and attacks until she "snaps out of it" or is killed. If the target succeeds in her Willpower roll the mist disperses, however her blood loss and wounds remain.
