The Liar's Tongue

3 Point Merit

Description

Originally possessed by a Giovanni with a penchant for manipulation, his tongue was removed by a Tremere antitribu when said Giovanni faced Final Death. After a long ritual the Liar's Tongue was created.

When not bound to an individual, the object looks like a piece of old leather. To bind it the user must first rip out his/her own tongue and then replace it with the object. This act causes an Aggravated Wound but is easy enough to heal during downtime.

Once activated the Tongue allows the user to lie at will. Activation cost is one (1) Willpower Trait for the entire evening and then a (1) Mental Trait every time a lie is spoken. Telepathy, Aura Perception, and Subterfuge do not break this spell. Sins such as Diablerie will still be visible, as is the pale aura of vampirism, but lies will all be masked provided the cost is paid.
