Editing All That Glitters Is Red:Licencieux (section)

=Intimé=
There are moments when one catches just the slightest hint of a scent, or hears a faint sound in which forgotten memories drift closer to the present. Though rarely clear, they offer a sense of the familiar: the safe warmth of a childhood moment or the creeping dread of a forgotten fear. With but a glance, the Duchagne may inspire this feeling.

These memories need not be known to the Kindred although he must decide which emotion he wishes to inspire. With a successful application of this power, the target automatically associates a sound, smell or other sense with a past memory tied to the determined emotion. While some Duchagne use this to manipulate the emotions of their protégées towards their own perverse enjoyment, many others find that the emotions inspired with Intimé gives Vitae an added spice.

'''Cost:''' —

'''Dice Pool:''' Wits + Expression + Majesty - target’s Resolve + Blood Potency

'''Action:''' Instant

'''Dramatic Failure:''' The vampire using this becomes reminded of some potent loss in his own past, suffering a –1 die penalty to actions for the rest of the scene. The Duchagne may also not use this power against the target for the rest of the night.

'''Failure:''' The target feels nothing.

'''Success:''' The target has a momentary flash of memory, either good or bad, inspiring the desired association. This adds a +1 die modifier in any roll to manipulate the target for the scene, but only in a manner befitting the type of memory stirred.

'''Exceptional Success:''' The target has a flash of memory so intense that it momentarily distracts him. The effect takes place as above, and any action the victim attempts on the next turn suffers a –2 dice penalty (except defending against incoming attack).
