Ward Versus Cathayans (Unique Advanced Ritual)
This ritual is similar to Ward Versus Ghouls, and provides the Kindred with some
protection against their rivals. Like the ritual upon which it is based, the ward causes
great pain and injury to any Kuei-jin who comes into contact with the warded object.
The material components required are a trait of freshly drawn, still-warm, human
blood and a trait of cold blood from a human body that has been dead for four hours
or longer. Using blood from a supernatural creature, even a ghoul, causes the ritual to
fail. The caster mixes the blood together with metal shavings and wood shavings before
pouring it over the object in question (see Ward Versus Ghouls for size limits), while
reciting the appropriate incantation.
On a final note, this ward is considered unique and different from the Ward
Versus Cathayans published in San Francisco by Night, and is therefore not affected by a
Writ Of Protected Passage.
System: Kuei-jin who touch a warded object suffer one level of Lethal
damage. They must also check for Wave Soul each turn they continue to do so. If they
enter Wave Soul, they must flee from the warded object as quickly as possible.
