StormCaller

⚫ Mastery of the Elements

Challenge: N/A Cost: 1 Blood, 1 Wp Duration: Action

By invoking the spirits bound centuries ago by one of Tremere's earliest kindred apprentices, the Kindred is able to show their dominance over the mundane effects of the weather. By spending a blood they may cause any one of these effects to occur. Only one may be active by the caster. If level 5(great storm) of this power is active, instead of having only 1 effect they may each turn by spending a blood, activate one of the four effects, without an action, to a maximium of all 4 effects. Only 1 instance of storm effects can be in a scene at a given time.

  • Fog - Cause a thick fog to roll into the area. The fog is thick enough to block out the sun for 3 rounds before it dissipates and it inflicts a -2 trait penalty to sight based Awareness/ Investigate tests. (Can be used indoors)
  • Precipitation - Cause it to start raining or snowing. All Drive and Firearm tests are made at a -2 trait penalty. Any non magical fire is put out. All fire based entities take a level of lethal each round. (Can not be used indoors)
  • Winds - Cause gusts of wind start blowing through the area, hard enough to blow trash cans away and fell dead trees. This power causes everyone in the scene to move 1 step in any direction, chosen by the caster. This effect triggers at the top of the next round and can not be used more than once in the scene. (Can not be used indoors)
  • Storm - Cause a thunderstorm to move into the area. Anyone wearing armor or wielding a weapon takes 1L (Aggravated to any living being) in the Explosives tick. Wooden weapons are immune to this effect. (Can not be used indoors)
  • Misc - The caster can also choose to cause any natural weather phenomenon that occurs regularly in the area. These will not have any systemic benefits.

⚫⚫ Torrential Downpour

Challenge: N/A Cost: 1 Blood for solo cast, no cost for upgrade Duration: 1 Scene

Upgrade: This power upgrades the effects of Precipitation. Making a Firearms or Atheltics (Thrown) attack requires the attacker to burn a retest before making an attempt. Also any Fire based powers take an extra resource [Blood, Gnosis, Pyros to activate]. Anyone currently under the effects of fire based transformations must make a simple chop, if they lose, their transformation ends.

This precipitation is so extreme that in many cities it would cause flooding, but Florida is uniquely suited to handling applications of this power.

Solo Cast: Alternatively, the character can create a localized rain storm to put out a fire even indoors.

⚫⚫⚫ Gale Force Winds

Challenge: N/A Cost: 1 Blood for solo cost, no cost for upgrade Duration: instant

Upgrade This power upgrades the effects of Winds. The steps inflicted by the Caster increase from 1 to 3 and as long as the caster is not torpored they may spend an additional Blood to continue the effect until the scene ends. Moving 1 step costs 2 steps for the duration of the power. After this power is finished, the scene is now destroyed as absurdly powerful winds have ripped through the area, tearing roofs off homes and knocking trash cans into the next county.

Solo Cast Alternately, The caster send a message on the winds to another who is in the same city. They may make 5 exchanges before another blood must be spent, the solo cast may be used indoors.


⚫⚫⚫⚫ Call forth the Lightning

Challenge: N/A Cost: One Blood for solo cast, no cost for upgrade Duration: 1 Scene

Upgrade: This power upgrades the effects of Storm. The base damage of the Storm is upgraded to 2L (Aggravated to any living being), and they no longer take damage from their own lightning.

Solo cast The caster may overcharge any piece of technology for the scene, causing into function without electricity or other powers(gas, steam etc) after which it will cease to function unless repaired, this can be used indoors.
