Head Crush

By Andrew Hess (a-hess@onu.edu

Description

This meta discipline requires Auspex 4 and Potence of at least 2 (but more helps). It was developed by warrior Malkavians in order to attack their enemies from a distance without being obvious. The Malkavian picks a target and rolls Wits plus Brawl. He then places his forefinger and thumb about an inch apart, and holds them where the target's head would appear between the digits. The Malkavian proceeds to squeeze his fingers and chants "I'm crushing your head!" in a childish voice, causing Str +1 damage (lethal) to the target's head. More successes than can be soaked result in the head squeezing together, and if the target is killed, his head is considered crushed together, but not removed. If the target is a Malkavian with this ability he can resist by putting his hands, palms facing each other, in front of his head and pulling against the attacker.
