Vigilancia de Gárgola

(Auspex •, Resilience ••)

This Devotion grants a patient and vigilant vampire the ability to oversee her haven with immense clarity. She becomes completely aware of every single inch, and can respond at a moment’s notice. When she moves against a trespasser, nothing can stop her. Her Resilience affords her senses a stoic patience, so she can divide her attention throughout her resting place.

Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: Reflexive

This Devotion requires the vampire to remain completely still, in a location reflected by the Safe Place Merit (see p. 123). She has to be stationary for at least ten minutes before this Devotion offers its benefits. While stationary, she has full use of her Auspex abilities, centered on any single spot of her choosing within the haven. Having full awareness, she may change the spot at will. She receives +5 to any rolls to detect intruders.

If she decides to move against an intruder, she gains +5 to her Initiative for the scene. As well, she does not need to spend Vitae to activate her Resilience.

With a point of Willpower, this Devotion may be used while the vampire slumbers.

This Devotion costs 1 Experiences to learn. An advanced version of this Devotion exists, utilizing Protean 5, costing 4 Experiences. This version allows the vampire to become a statue, immune to fire and sunlight while remaining stationary.
