Requiem

By By C. Spence Roberts (candc@wolfenet.com) for the Delicti bloodline.

* Unshroud ghost

The vampire touches the dead body of a person. If the person is now a wraith, the vampire gains the power to see and hear the wraith. It as if the Shroud did not exist between the vampire and that one wraith. For the vampire to see or hear the wraith, it must be nearby in the Shadowlands, and within range of the vampire's senses.

System: This lasts one day for Requiem one possessors, two for Requiem two possessors, a week for Requiem three possessors, a month for Requiem four possessors, and one additional week for each dot in Requiem after that. A Perception + Occult roll must be made for this power to be successful. (Diff 6)

** Visit Death

While in the Skinlands, the vampire can touch a dead body and attempt to experience the events that lead to the person's death. The vampire will experience the events as if they were happening to himself; the thoughts and emotions of the victim are felt. The vampire will see, hear, smell, and feel everthing the victim could (including pain).

System: A Perception + Empathy (Diff 7) roll is needed. The more successes, the more information is gleamed.

*** Show Death

This power allows the vampire to project into another living being (or vampire) all the events he experienced while using Visit Death on a body. The target of Show Death, will experience the events as if they were happening directly to him.

System: No roll is needed; only a blood point must be spent.

**** Death Walk

A Skinland power similar to the power of Psychic Projection, but the vampire's astral body appears in the Shadowlands next to his Physical body. The astral body functions much the same as a wraith's corpus, and is limited to traveling through the Shadowlands as a wraith without Arcanoi. The vampire is still connected to his body by a silver cord. If the cord is broken, the mind remains with the astral body. The physcial body enters torpor until the astral body returns and re-enters by touching it.

System: The vampire must spend two blood points for this power to be activated.

***** Haunted House

The vampire can lower the Shroud thickness within a structure the size of a small house. This allows the wraiths who remain in the Shadowland's projection of the house to communicate across the Shroud more easily.

System: A Strength + Wraith Lore (Diff 8) roll must be made. For each success the Shroud thins by one point. Within an hour, the Shroud returns to normal.
