Bovinism

By f_estema@alcor.concordia.ca

* Murder Moo

Allows Malkowvian to attract prey to it by mooing. Requires charisma + leadership (difficulty 6).

** Dung of Death

Allows the vampire cow to defecate dung whose smell will cause 1 pt aggravated damage in non-bovines who inhale the scent within a range of 10 ft.

*** Mask of Beef

This power lets the vampire cow look like a juicy slab of beef.

**** Cowmentation

This power makes the target think he or she is a cow.

Requires Manipulation + Acting.

Successes	Effect
1	Target will moo instead of speaking (and will not notice)
2	Target will want to get on all fours and eat grass.
3	Target will actually think of itself as a cow.
4	If the vampire cow desires, the target will think of itself as a vampire cow.

***** Moon Vaulting

With a willpower roll of difficulty 7, the vampire cow may make viewers believe that they have just seen it jump over the moon.

This power may not be used on moonless nights.

Three successes will make all viewers frenzy.

****** Milk

Female cowpires may regain the ability to secrete milk with this level of Bovinism. This is not normal milk, however; rather it is mutated vampiric blood which retains blood-bonding power. Unlike normal vitae it cannot create ghouls. (Normal blood-bound servants, yes. Immortal blood-bound servants, no.)

The widespread consumption of cowpire milk is one of the major sources of modern Malkavian power (and of human neuroses). Another instance of Malkavian insight beating reason and good taste hands down.

******* Old McDonald

This level allows the cowpire to telepathically Dominate any man or animal within hearing range of the cowpire's mooing who are blood-bound to it, usually the farmer who is the supposed proprietor of the "animal."

Ancient memories of the horrors caused by the the use of this level of Bovinism inspired the song Old McDonald, with its haunting chorus ("EEYAY! EEYAY! OH!") warning future generations of the tragic results of cowpire dominated farms. This meaning, unfortunately, has been lost through time.

Thankfully, the human population is fighting back as there have been recent attempts to eliminate the incidence of mad cows.
