MET Mechanics:

The Toreador are well known for their ability to turn foe into friend with just their artistic performance.  The clan of the rose is legendary for brining even cold hearted Kindred to tears with soulful displays of their art.  Some toreador have developed this power to reinforce this legend.  When giving a performance of their chosen art (music, acting, poetry, etc) they may attempt to influence a crowd with their presence and projected heightened feelings.  With this the Toreador can win over swaths of fans during the performance and even after the performance convince those moved by it to help them out or become close friends with the Toreador, willing to do major favors in a exchange for a chance of seeing the art once more.

System: If someone is a fan of your Performance or turned into a fan via other uses of Presence from the performance, you may make a contested Social Challenge against a single target retested with Performance.  If you succeed the fan will do a major favor for you.  Major favors include putting a good word in for them, commit a minor crime for the character; shoplift, help out in a fight etc for the next scene or an hour.  The power lasts until you take an action that would break it and turn the target against you (especially combat).

You may also attempt to use this power on a large group during an active performance to turn the group watching into fans of yours.  This use of the power is a Static Social challenge retested with Performance at a starting difficulty of 10 +1 for every 50 people (to a max difficulty of 20).  If you succeed you turn the crowd into fans though they will not perform major favors for you as in the previous use of this power (you would need to then talk to them after the performance and use this power again on them individually while talking to them).  Though they will react positive to you. This power costs 1 willpower per use to activate.
