Pyros

By Frank Torkel

Description

This discipline, created by the foul magicks of the demon who aided Ignis, gives the Flammae Ignis the power to control fire. Deadly to nearly all Kindred, Pyros is greatly treasured by the bloodline, taught to no one outside the line.

* Firesuit

A glowing red membrane-like aura surrounds the Kindred, keeping him relatively safe from fire.

System: Survival + Stamina (+ Fortitude), difficulty six on a fire soak roll. This equals the suit's absorbance roll per turn for one scene. Only fire and sunlight may be soaked with this fire.

** Control Fire

The Kindred may now control fire, forcing it to grow, move, or die out.

System: Manipulation + Leadership, difficulty six. One cubic foot of fire may be controlled per success.

*** Remove Rotrschreck

Rotschreck may now be removed in others and in the Flammae Ignis herself.

System: Manipulation + Subterfuge, difficulty equals Willpower +3.

**** Summon Fire

The Flammae Ignis may now summon fire out of thin air, affecting anything from wood to people.

System: Strength + Leadership, difficulty seven. One cubic foot of fire may be summoned per success.

***** Charge Self

The Kindred may now cover his body in fire, making him virtually invincible to other Kindred.

System: After forming Firesuit, the Kindred must spend one bloodpoint per charge of fire. The body cannot hold more charges than successes on the firesuit however. Each limb is covered in fire for every bloodpoint spent, the body needing two. These charges may be dropped or thrown as fireballs. Otherwise, anything the Kindred touches is set ablaze. Note that dropped charges cannot be rejoined to the body.

****** Summon Fire Elemental

A great fire being may be summoned whose fire cannot go out by normal means. Whether a powerful spirit or a Sol (see Daemon) is summoned, although not always friendly, they are extremely fatal to other Kindred.

System: Leadership + Subterfuge, difficulty eight.

******* Reflect Sun's Blaze

Twisted as it may sound, the Flammae Ignis channels the fires of the sun and reflects them in the moon's surface, targeting a specific person or place no larger than a man.

System: Pyros, difficulty 10. As long as the Flammae Ignis can see the victim, sunlight will strike him, doing sunlight damage to Kindred and fire damage to non-Kindred. Unless the victim is hidden from the Flammae Ignis' view, the sunlight will chase him through alleys, buildings, etc.
