Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Developed as a joint venture between the Brujah and the Lasombra, this combination discipline merges the supernatural speed of the Celerity with the otherworldly powers of Obtenebration. The vampire concentrates for a brief moment, assuming the Tenebrous Form and stepping into an adjacent, only to emerge a moment later from another shadow nearby their victim. Only victims expecting for such an attack have any hope of getting out of the way in time. Those that do not find themselves unable to react in time to avoid an attack from the Cainite.

System: The character spends 3 Blood Traits to activate this power, then makes a Brawl or Melee attack against their victim. The defender may not attempt to dodge the attack, or spend the Dodge Ability for a retest in the Challenge. There is one exception to this limitation. The defender may announce at the beginning of the turn that they are dedicating all of their actions towards dodging the incoming strike. If they do, then they may attempt to dodge the attack, though the aggressor still benefits from an additional retest. A victim of Nightfall's Reach can always attempt to soak an attack made with this power. Even if the attack itself prevents the victim from soaking the strike or it's damage, they may attempt to do so normally.
