MET Mechanics:

The user must spend a blood and defeat her target in a Path Rating test (compare path ratings, in case of a tie compare Conscience/Conviction ratings) with Meditate as the appropriate retest. If successful the target's path and virtue ratings become equal to that of the challenger.  The effects of this power last for one scene or hour, whichever is longer.  During this time, the affected character must spend a Willpower for each action he wishes to take that violates the Path Rating.  If he cannot spend the Willpower, he is unable to take the action.
The Character on the same path as the user of this Discipline only needs to make path checks for sins which violate his actual Path Rating.  If the power is used on a Character following a different path, they need not make any path checks for violations of their actual path while under the effect of Beatitude.
If the Kindred attempts to use this power on someone with a higher rating on the same path as herself, the power fails and the Kindred loses a Willpower and may not initiate any challenges for the next round as she is overcome at her own feelings of inadequacy and guilt of judging one who is more advanced than herself.
The character cannot use this Discipline more than twice as many times per night as her Path rating.  The power may also be used on mortals, ghouls, and supernatural creatures without Path ratings at ST discretion, but the effects are generally more subtle.
NOTE: This power is not dependent upon Generation.  
ROLEPLAYING NOTES:
Some characters affected by this power may be overcome with guilt over past actions, while others experience moments of truth and tranquility.  While they may react differently, the conversion is truly a genuine shift in perspective and values.  Furthermore, although the player may know that the effects last only a short time, the character does not. Players should be encouraged to role play the conversion accordingly.
