Condicionamiento

(Dominate ••••)

Over a period of weeks, the vampire pushes on her victim’s will, forcing him to repeat the same tasks over and over until he cannot resist her voice. She slowly builds up control over her victim to the point where he can barely manifest his own thoughts or feelings. Instead he’s an empty shell, waiting for his mistress’ next command.

Cost: None
Dice Pool: Wits + Subterfuge + Dominate vs. Resolve + Blood Potency
Requirement: The vampire must have inflicted the Mesmerized Condition on the victim. Conditioning can only be used on the same victim once every two nights.
Action: Instant

Roll Results

Dramatic Failure: The victim reasserts his will in a dramatic fashion. He resolves the Mesmerized Condition; he keeps the bonus to resist further Mesmerize attempts for the next week.

Failure: The vampire cannot get her victim to repeat exactly the same tasks for now.

Success: The victim’s will bends before the vampire. He gains the Subservient Condition (p. 306).

Exceptional Success: The victim’s will bends like grass before the storm of the vampire’s commands. Mark an extra cross when applying the Subservient Condition.

Each time the vampire inflicts the Subservient Condition on a character, his player should put a cross or other mark above one of his Willpower dots, starting from the left. Each dot can only have one mark. If the Subservient Condition is allowed to fade naturally, remove the rightmost cross. When each of the character’s Willpower dots has a mark above it, he exchanges the Subservient Condition for the Enslaved Condition (p. 303).
