Dominate

Command Exerting your will against a single individual, you can give a simple command and demand obedience. A single word, even one embedded in a sentence and stressed lightly, becomes an imperative command to your victim. You need only meet your victim's gaze. AS long as your victim sees your eyes and hears your voice, your command carries the authority of your blood. The command must be simple and easily understood..."Sleep", "Scream", "Follow" and "Silence" are all acceptable examples. The command cannot be blatantly harmful or self-destructive.

Mesmerism Like a hypnotist, you can impart commands to your subjects, even keying them on specific trigger events. If you can meet your subject's gaze and speak aloud your commands, you can force the subject to obey your will. Unsuspecting victims can even be given commands that they must carry out. Only one such command may be implanted in a victim at a time.

Forgetful Mind Your considerable powers of mental manipulation allow you to exert your influence in the very memories of your victims. By meeting your target's gaze, you can draw out answers to questions and even alter the subject's memory. You can erase entire blocks of the victim's past, or replace mental recollections with those of your own making.

Conditioning The depths of your mental influence are frightful and pervasive. With time, you can strip away the defenses of the most determined mind, even removing your victims personality and free will. You must have unrestricted access to your subject for several nights. Should you manage to tear down the victims resistance, the victim's will is shattered and their mind becomes completely bendable to your will.

Possession No mortal mind can resist the power of your will. With but a touch, you can move your consciousness into a mortal body, taking complete control of the shell and suppressing the victim's mind. For the duration of this possession, your own body lies comatose, while the mortal's mind is unconscious and unaware of what transpires.During the coarse of Possession, you experience everything that happens to the mortal body as you guide its actions. Your Vampire form also suffers any damage sustained by the mortal body. If the mortal body dies before your consciousness can flee, you immediately collapse into torpor.

Loyalty With this discipline in effect, the elder's Dominate is so strong that other Vampires find it almost impossible to break with their own commands. Despite the name, Loyalty instills no special feeling in the victim - the Vampire's commands are simply implanted far more deeply than normal. In other words meaning that the Vampire's command are tougher for most to break free from. Those whom the Vampire has Dominated are made resistant to Dominate attempts by others.

Obedience While most Kindred must employ Dominate through eye contact, some powerful elders may command loyalty with the lightest brush of the hand. AKA: Touch and Dominate!

Tranquility The vampire may bring another vampire out of frenzy. If she fails, the target vampire will attcak her.

Mob Rule This discipline allow the Vampire to attempt to Dominate more than one person at a time. For every extra success over the amount needed to Dominate the first victim, the Vampire can Dominate one other person. This discipline does not require eye contact after the first target has been Dominated.

Far Mastery Allows the use of Dominate on any subject that the Vampire is familiar with, at any time, over any distance. If the elder knows where his target is, he may issue commands as if he were standing face-to-face with the victim.

Best Intentions The vampire can make a victim act in her interests, without further command, and the victim will automatically know what constitutes the vampire’s interests.

Puppet Master The Vampire is able to Dominate another so completely that the victim will act as if he is the Vampire, taking actions just as the character would. The victim has in fact become the Dominator, and his personality has been infused with that of his master. A link is maintained between the two; thus, the puppet is intuitively aware of what the Master needs and desires.
