The Hands of Destruction

Created by Sabbat Tremere, the painful powers of the Hands of Destruction deliver agony and decrepitude upon its victims. Some Tremere refuse to learn it due to rumors that it is fell thaumaturgy, created with the assistance of demons.

The Kindred can transmute a trait of his blood into a powerful acid. He can use this acid to melt through anything as hard as steel or less, or he can punch a target with it. If the Kindred wishes to use the acid in combat it deals one Ag and becomes inert after the strike.

⚫⚫⚫⚫ Atrophy

The Kindred reaches forward and summon the powers of time and decay to ruin one of his target’s limbs. With a successful Brawl attack Physicals (Brawl) vs Physicals (Defense), the Thaumaturge and ruin one of his opponents limbs for a round. He may target either the arms or legs.

For Kindred these changes last for only a round, but for mortals they last for a scene.

• Arms: The target cannot use any two-handed weapons on the following round.
• Legs: the targets “step” count is halved (round down) on his next action.

⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫ Turn to Dust

Challenge: N/A Cost:One Willpower, One Blood Duration: Reflexive

The user of this path bends time to his will, and ages a target immensely. With a simple touch, the target sees their life flash before their eyes. With a successful Brawl attack Physicals (Brawl) vs Physicals (Defense), the Thaumaturge can age his target up to one hundred years in the blink of an eye. Mortals collapse into dust, but the power has no effect on Vampires, Wraiths, Spirits, Constructs or other timeless entities. WereWolves, Mages, and Fae may spend two permanent Willpower to negate the effects of this ability.
