MET Mechanics:

Description: By infusing her strength into an area as a barrier, the Nosferatu can create a space that resists any form of physical entry. However, this barrier is illusionary and all in the mind of the target. The area might be cloaked or not, as the Nosferatu decides. However, leaving the area requires anyone else to have to push through an apparent invisible force. The vampire can release individuals from this power simply by touch and a thought.
Player Fluff: This power was created to prevent targets from leaving his presence and restricting movement. This power was created as an inverse of Forbidden Zone and draws upon the same abilities that fuel the mentioned power. As the song, "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."
System: The vampire makes a Physical Challenge with Subterfuge as the retest at a difficulty of 10 and spends a blood point. If successful, the character makes an extended challenge and for each success may maintain the zone for one hour, although once set up she need not remain nearby. The vampire can create a zone of any size up to a radius of six feet/ two meters for each point of Potence and Obfuscate she has. So a vampire with Obfuscate 5 and Potence 3 could create a zone with a radius of up to 48 feet/16 meters. For anyone except the vampire to leave the zone requires a Challenge of Mental against Mental against the creator. The zone is actually a mental barrier and not a physical one. As it is an enforcement of will, the user of the power may use Willpower as a Retest. Characters already outside the zone may enter it without any problem, but must make the Mental Challenge to leave. The vampire can touch any character and with a thought exclude them from the effects of this power at no cost. Levels of Obfuscate and Auspex cannot be used in this challenge.
