Phobius

By dhendrix@dexter.net for the Frighteners bloodline.

* Mind Games

The vampire is able to induce hallucinations within the victim's peripheral vision. The victim sees them only for a few seconds out of the corners of their eyes. The effects occur sporadically but mostly at night.

System: The vampire rolls his Manipulation + Subterfuge (difficulty equal to the victim's Perception + Self-Control or Instincts).

Successes	Duration
1	One Night
2	Two Nights
3	One Week
4	One Month
5	Three Months

** Freakout

The exhibition of full vampiric powers can cause great fear in mortals. This is usually done by baring fangs and claws while hissing loudly. You can frighten mortals into submission or flight with snarl.

System: The vampire rolls Charisma + Intimidation (difficulty is the victim's Wits + 3). Any success indicates that the victim is cowed, while three or more indicates that she runs away in terror.

**** Form of Fear

The Frightner is able to become the victim's worst nightmare. Note that this does not give the vampire the ability to find out what the worst fear is; that is done with Level 3.

Systems: No roll is required, but the change does require a blood point and three turns to transform. Any special abilities are to be determined by the Storyteller.
