MET Mechanics:

As much as the beast is dangerous, it is also powerful. When focused properly, a vampire's beast is capable of extraordinary feats, including cowing the will of others into doing what it says, no matter the strength of the target's blood. As a kindred who spent centuries learning to walk beside their beast the Gangrel known as Kell found ways to focus the power of one's beast in miraculous ways. Kell's studies of the power of the beast helped him develop many combinations that draw upon that power.

System: Spend a temporary Willpower and make a self-control/Instinct challenge, retest Animal Ken, versus a difficulty of 5 traits. If successful the vampire using this power may take a temporary -1 to -3 to their self-control/instinct to draw upon the overwhelming strength of the beast, temporarily gaining the ability to meet or beat the normal generational limitations of Dominate or any other power that bases success off of the generation of a target. For purposes of comparing generations, defensively or offensively, the user of this power is considered to be a number of generations lower equal to the minus they took to their self-control/instinct. If the self-control/instinct challenge is lost, the vampire using this power automatically enters frenzy, if able to do so. A vampire that does not have access to their beast, for instance one that has used Drawing Out the Beast to force their beast into someone else, may not use this power, nor may they take a minus to their self-control/instinct that would take that virtue lower than 1. This power lasts one scene or an hour and may not allow the user to bypass the generation requirement against a vampire which has a true generation of 4th or lower.
