It is said that the Deathknights can steal the hearts of the unwary - often literally. When this charm is activated, the Abyssal rolls Wits + Larceny, adding his Essence in automatic successes and opposed by the target's Perception + Awareness, also adding the target's Essence as automatic successes. If the Solar is successful, he gains a number of points of temporary willpower equal to the number of successes rolled, to a maximum of his normal maximum willpower. The target of the charm likewise loses the same number of willpower points.
Stealth
Cloak of the Shadowed Blood Technique
Cost: 4m
Type: Reflexive (Step 10)
Keyword: Counterattack, Obvious
Duration: One Scene
Minimum Stealth: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisites: Any Stealth Excellency
Deathknights are made for war, but their battles are best fought in shadow. When an attack successfully damages a Deathknight, he may activate this charm as a Counterattack, transmuting the blood spilled by the attack into an inky black fog that pervades an area equal to his Essence in yards. Anyone within this area - or attempting to fire into this area from outside - takes an external penalty to all actions equal to the wound penalty the Abyssal suffered on the attack + 1 (so a -0 health level would be a -1, -1 would be -2, etc.) This charm can be used multiple times, and the effects stack, to a maximum total applied penalty equal to the Abyssal's Stealth.
