Copperfield

By Angel Morrigan (ashensire@yahoo.com)

Description

Copperfield is a discipline based on magic, hideously perverted and twisted in a way that makes you feel all warm and bubbly inside. It was discovered by a Malkavian, Joey "Boogeyman" Sikes, trying to mix stage magic with Thaumaturgy. Tragically, poor Boogeyman had an accident while juggling flaming Sabbat, and is no longer with us -- but his sickening legacy lives on.

* Pick A Card, Any Card

With this ability, an ordinary deck of cards becomes fun for the whole family! The target Kindred must roll Willpower (diff.6) or be forced to pick a card. Roll 1d10 to determine the card and effect.

1-2	Joker: The card laughs at the Kindred, causing the target to continue laughing uncontrollably until the card is replaced, or a successful Willpower roll (diff 6) is made.
3	Random card: The Malkavian hits the target repeatedly over the head until the card is replaced, or upon the death of the Malk.
4	Queen of Hearts: The Target gets -1 against the Malkavian's Charisma for the remainder of the session.
5-6	Jack of Clubs: The target looks confused as the Malkavian hits her over the head with a sock full of dung. -2 to target's Charisma until washed off.
7-8	King of Diamonds: The target is showered in "Monopoly" money.
9	Ace of Hearts: The "Barney" theme plays over and over, very loudly, in the target's ears for the remainder of the scene.
10	Ace of Spades: Refills 2 of the target's blood points, at the cost of the target's underwear and/or socks.

** Rabbit Out Of The Hat

This ability allows the Malkavian to pull a rabbit out of his hat/pants/bodily orifice/whatever. Upon release, the cuddly little bunny hops toward the target, shortly before bursting like a fuzzy, gory balloon. Up to 2 pts. of damage, plus any psychological damage the target and any onlookers might incur.

*** The Old Sawing-In-Half Trick

The Malkavian produces a chainsaw from out of nowhere, with which he will chase down any unwitting Kindred he chooses to be his "assistant."

**** Escape Artist

The Malkavian's body gains the consistency of gelatin, allowing her to stretch, bend, and ooze out of or into any confining space or situation.

***** Houdini

The Malkavian disappears from sight, only to reappear up to 25 yards away from his original location moments later, grinning disturbingly.
