Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of cainites?  Only one whom has plumbed the very depths of the unholy themselves, and emerged still whole.  From those righteous souls forged in hellish flames, no sin can be hidden.  They can see the marks of corruption lurking beneath as surely as they have once felt it on their own flesh.

System: To use this power, the cainite must spend a round staring at their victim.  This is not a casual glance, your eyes are very clearly (but not literally) burning into your target, and that much is obvious to any onlookers.  You must then bid a number of traits and engage the target in a Social Challenge, nudging their will and drawing forth what the sins they conceal within.

For one Trait you may learn a Negative Trait the target possesses, or perhaps the circumstances of a Morality Check they have made recently.  With two Traits risked you may assess the strength of their Morality Path, and which Path or Road it is that they follow.  For three Traits, you push deeper into their inner heart, and may learn a Derangement they possess or a crime of their society that they have committed.  For Four traits their entire soul is laid bare and you may become aware of truly monumental sins they have committed, that their very lives depend on keeping secret.

Note that this power requires the assistance of a Storyteller to use, both to ensure that the information received matches the severity of the risk, and that it is presented allegorically to the user of this power rather than literally.  Against Elders or beings of power above and beyond PC level, the effectiveness of this power is entirely at the Storyteller's discretion.
