Nightmare 4: It states that it affect every sense, so also the tact

The hallucination of a wall will stop someone trying to pass trough?
When someone fall trough such wall does it resolve the hallucination or she still would see the wall?
If I create the hallucination of a wall can I hide behind? If not How could I justify this to a player trying to do it?

The hallucination to be on fire will procure pain? How long does it will last?

So what are the conditions to resolve the hallucination?

[Marcus]

That's a good point. Thank you ...

As I said:

Vinculum and order the king to retire its army

Dominate 3: accept the compromise with the roman ambassy when they will come.

Dominate 4: changing its memory letting him belive that he had agreed the compromise in exchange of a great reward. Or changing the memory in other infinite ways.


Just for example....

Hello,

I'm carring on Fall of the Camarilla Chronicles. I'm at the point where of the Barbarian Invasion.
The problem is that the PCs will be aware of the incoming army and about the delegation sent to parly with the barbarian king and I'm wondering how this event (a central one for the entire chronicle that MUST happpens) couldn't be stopped or prevented by a characters intervent.
I mean: probably characters would like to intercept the army (obfuscated, as animals and so on), meet the king in its tent and blood bond, dominate him or simply kill him or a lot of other...

[Marcus]

No, Auspex 3 is free....

[Marcus]

Same problem in mine

[Marcus]

Auspex 3 on a square: which direction took mr. X leaving this place? Could provide an answer?
And going on, place by place, asking the same question everytime, could allow the mekhet to spot the place where mr. X is gone?

[Marcus]

Well I always misunderstood it. Thanks for the clarification. It seemed to mee too powerful in that way....

[Marcus]

No sure but, by applying Auspex 2 questions after known the killer identity through Auspex 3. I mean: what is the point of use auspex 2 question with Auspex 3 if you can't uncover secrets of the target?
I just would like to understand because probably I miss something

[Marcus]

About 3. The power states that you can ask also the questiona related to Ausoex 1 and 2. Are not the real intentions of a killer a "secret" that could be uncovered by auspex 2?...

[Marcus]

So according to you, auspex 3 used on a crime scene asking:
1) who killed mr X.
2) which supernatural power has been used here
3) what were the intentions of the killer while killing mr. X

Are legit or too specific?...

[Marcus]

Yes, Auspex is the discipline that give me more problems
It's hard to define what is legit to ask and what is not.

[Marcus]

Yes but summoning has a complete different effect from Majesty or Dominate 4.
I'm fine with devotions based on just a discipline but not with devotions that have the same effect of an existing discipline....

[Marcus]

Hi all,

the core states:



so it seems that this power should affect also place like building or room allowing questions like:
- Who is the last unnatural being came here
- Have Vidal ever been here? When?
- Who is died here?/Who killed him?/Why?


Now, if the above question fit with this power, what is the difference with: ANNALS OF DEATH (Auspex 3 devotion in 1000 years of night)?

Why shouldn't common Auspex 3 answer the same sample question of that devotion?

Could anyone clarify me how these...

[Marcus]

Quite every power, according to this view, is "break power". Majesty same or even worst as dominate; Auspex reveals quite every secrets; Obfuscate allows you to disappear, deal ambush and so on.

The point is that these powers exist and also the other can use theirs own. And anyway they are situational:

In combat, for example, someone could be aware of this power and hit his friends to let him wake up.

Make some specific example in order to help us to give ours advices.

[Marcus]

I agree. Also in the 1ed there was devotions linked to BP like dark decree if I'm not wrong. I expected something more honestly.

[Marcus]

This is my personal view according with book and movie:

Devotion:

Force of Nature

[Marcus]

No, they are normal vampire with no particular mechanics or ability and even no so powerful. So that it let me a little disappointed.
Also the devotions are not so epic. In the core book there are devotions far more powerful (see Juggernaut Gait, force of Nature...)
