Custom Sabbat Ritae

Due to the dangers of the massive mortal population of New York; members of the cities clergy developed this ritae off the effects of the Palla Grande Ritae.  The Sabbat priest burns brazers similar to those during the High Holiday to spread a fine pink reddish mist throughout and area.  Mortals in that area will find their minds effected when vampires reveal themselves.  The vast majority of which will react in fear or panic when the Masquerade is broken in front of them but will forget the event later.  Only the strongest willed of mortals can act normally and fully remember the events of the Masquerade breech.

System:  To perform this ritae the priest must burn the bones of a fallen sabbat member with the blood of a vampire in a brazer.  As the reddish pink mist leaves the brazers it will fill an area.  Any mortal in the area will react to any breaches of the Masquerade for the next scene or hour in the following ways depending on their willpower scores:

4                                        Yes                                        The human attacks, be it firing a gun (he won’t have enough presence of mind to reload, however), throwing crockery, or even leaping at the “monster

5                                        Yes                                         Much like panic, except with rational thought. The human is able to think enough to lock doors behind him or to get in a car and flee

9                                          No                                          This human refuses to take anymore. She is afraid but angry, and she will remember the Vampire and probably even try to hunt it down;

10                                        No                                          The human is not the slightest bit afraid or bothered by the Vampire. Even Ghouls aren’t this stoic, so Vampires tend to be very suspicious of such folks
