Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

This discipline is an advanced version of Scalpel Tongue which incorporates Telepathy to increase the stunned response. This is a role-play power triggered off a cutting remark. You must make such a remark before using this discipline. Once the remark is made, engage the target in a social challenge declaring the use of Greater Scalpel Tongue. Leadership is the appropriate ability for both the user and target of this power and, as it is a social power, Awe is also applicable. The target may also spend a Temporary Willpower to gain a final retest.

If the challenge is successful, the remark stuns the target into silence and the target is unable to initiate a mental challenge for 5 minutes (2 minutes if the target is a Toreador), 2 rounds during combat, or the end of the scene, whichever comes first. Targets under the effect of this power may still defend against mental challenges normally.
