ST Vault – Combo Discipline Compilation pp. 20
The vampire has learned to channel her sight into a gaze so deadly that it turns a person into an actual statue like the Gorgons of myth.
System: The user spends 1 Blood Point, risks between 1 and 5 Social Traits and makes a Social Challenge vs. the targets Willpower, retest with Intimidation. If the user succeeds, the victim finds their body frozen and turned to stone. The victim is unable to move but can still take any normal mental actions. Powers or abilities that require eye sight are unable to function since the body is outwardly turned to stone. The victim is unable to alter their form in any way while trapped in the stone.
The duration of the power is dependent on the number of Social Traits spent. 1 Trait = 1 Round, 2 Traits = 1 Minute, 3 Traits = 1 Hour, 4 Traits = 1 Day, 5 Traits = 1 Year*
The user may end the power early at any time, even if they are not within line of sight to the statue. Any vampire with Medusa’s Gaze who also has a higher rank in either Mytherceria or Serpentis may also break another vampire’s use of this power.
If the statue would be damaged in any way, the victim trapped within will suffer half the damage that was dealt as Lethal damage. If the statue is dealt 10 Lethal or Aggravated damage, the victim is freed but will still need to soak the damage as previously mentioned.
The victim may spend a temporary Willpower Trait to act normally for a number of rounds equal to their stamina-related Physical Traits.
If the user fails, the victim is immune to the effects of this power for the next 24 hours.
*Note: If the user bids 5 Social Traits against a mortal and succeeds, the victim is permanently incased in stone unless the user wills the victim to be free. If the user dies, the victim remains in stone forever, unless another ends the effect.
