Dominate

These powers are available only to those with access to the Dominate Discipline.
If the character possesses 1-2 dots in Dominate than he adds 1 Bonus Point to any non-supernatural rolls involving Manipulation.
If the character possesses 3-4 dots in Dominate than he adds 2 Bonus Points to any non-supernatural rolls involving Manipulation.
If the character possesses 5 dots in Dominate than he adds 3 Bonus Points to any non-supernatural rolls involving Manipulation.
Dominate powers cannot force a target to go against one of the targets core tenants, will put the target in a situation where they will almost certainly die or make them hurt those closest to them (family, lovers, lifelong friends). There are ways to circumvent this with powers such as Terminus Decree but until those are purchased this rule stands.
Also note that repetitively using the power of Dominate on the same individuals can cause Derangements to manifest (at the storytellers discrection).

Level 1

Command

Dominate opens many doors for a Vampire, especially when those guarding them can do nothing but open them for you.
The Vampire can issue single word command to a target. The command must be executed immediately.

• Type: Power
• Tag: Mental
• Range & Targets: A single individual within Vocal and Visual Range.
• Cost: 1 Action
• Conditions: Must make Eye Contact and the order must be clearly understood.
• Risk: After everything is said and done a target will wonder why it followed the Vampire’s command. An onlooker will wonder about the strange exchange the Vampire had with a target, especially if he knows the target.
• Test: Dominate + Manipulation (2)
• Resistance Roll: Wits + Resolve (unless trained, mortals cannot resist this ability)
• Duration: 1 Scene or until the order is performed.

Compel

• Cost: None
• Conditions: None
• Risk: None
• Test: None

Cloud Memory

Clans with access to Dominate might not always be the figureheads but they are almost certainly the power behind the throne. By having access to this ability even young neonates can make themselves indispensable to the local Prince.
By issuing the phrase “Forget” the Vampire can make the target forget all events up to the last 15 minutes. No new memories are created, instead the victim is left with a simple void in their memory.

• Tag: Mental
• Range & Targets: A single individual within Vocal and Visual Range.
• Cost: 1 Action

• Test: Dominate + Manipulation (1)
• Resistance Roll: Wits + Resolve (unless trained, mortals cannot resist this ability)
• Duration: 1 Action

Domitor’s Favour

The Vampire can extend an almost unprecedent level of control over those who are blood bonded to him.
When a Kindred, who is Blood Bonded to you, tries to ignore a command you have given it by performing an opposing Willpower test than double the dice pool you would normally have in the opposing roll.

• Range & Targets: Targets any Blood Bonded servant who is resisting the Vampires commands.
• Cost: None
• Conditions: None
• Risk: None
• Test: None

Loyalty

The Vampire enjoys his ability to manipulate his victims and is spiteful when others attempt to impose similar influences on his playthings.
If an individual, who is currently carrying out a command, which you made through the use of a Dominate power, is being targeted by a third part with a mental ability that involves controlling the actions of said individual. Then the third party suffers a 2 Point Penalty for any tests or opposing rolls involved in manifesting their abilities.

• Cost: None
• Conditions: None

Level 2

Mesmerize

As the Vampire becomes more used to having others follow his beckon call, he can issue complex commands to a victim as long as they have the subjects gaze and relative quiet.
The Vampire can issue a command which is several sentences long. The command must be carried out immediately and cannot be conditional.

• Tag: Mental
• Range & Targets: A single individual within Vocal and Visual Range.
• Cost: 1 Rouse Check + 1 Action

• Resistance Roll: Wits + Resolve (mortals and enhanced mortals cannot resist this power)
• Duration: 1 Scene or until the order is performed.

Slavish Devotion

Those who understand the power of Dominate know full well that the greatest enemy comes not from without but within. Due to this they take extra precautions in making sure their servants are strengthened against others possessing the same abilities.
Any enemy attempting to mentally manipulate one of the Vampire’s Dominated victims, Blood Bonded Kindred or his Ghouls suffers a 2 Point Penalty on any tests or opposing rolls. This is culminated with any similar existing abilities the Vampire currently possess (such as Loyalty for instance).

Memory Block

The Vampire prevents the victim from speaking about an event even though they remember it as clear as day.
The target is unable to talk or write down a memory even though they are able to fully recount the events.

Repression of the Obvious

The Vampire hates those who lie to him and omit the truth. This power allows him to cut to the heart of the matter in an instant.
By issuing the command "Speak" the target will blurt out loud what its most prominent surface thoughts are.

Level 3

The Forgetful Mind

Getting a deeper understanding of the value of secrecy the Vampire can rewrite whole swathes of his victim’s memory.
For every 2 successes, the Vampire can rewrite an additional 24 hours of the target’s memory. The Vampire can also simply erase certain memories. The power does not allow a Vampire to read minds so the Vampire must know prior to manifesting the power as to which memory to change or get rid of.

• Type: Power
• Tag: Mental
• Range & Targets: A single individual in Visual and Vocal range.
• Cost: 1 Rouse Check + 1 Turn
• Conditions: Must make Eye Contact and the description of the new memories must be clearly understood.
• Risk: Using this power more than once in 24 hours on a single target can cause a derangement to manifest either temporarily or permanently.
• Test: Dominate + Manipulation (2)
• Resistance Roll: Wits + Resolve (mortals and enhanced mortals cannot resist this power)
• Duration: 1 Turn for the power to be properly manifested after which the effects are permanent.

Submerged Directive

Sometimes a more delayed action is needed to get results. Those who are masters of courtly intrigue use this ability to deadly effect.
The Vampire implants a post hypnotic suggestion allowing a command to remain dormant until a specific stimulus occurs, these cannot be repetitive commands. Otherwise, the nature of the command follows all the same rules as Mesmerize.

• Type: Power
• Tag: Mental
• Range & Targets: A single individual within Vocal and Visual Range.
• Cost: 1 Rouse Check + 1 Action
• Conditions: Must make Eye Contact with the target and the order must be clearly understood. Must establish the stimulus in the command (Example: When you hear the word, Blackbird trigger the bomb).
• Risk: The target might find the phrases the Vampire uses strange until it comes to terrible fruition.
• Test: Dominate + Manipulation (4)
• Resistance Roll: Wits + Resolve (mortals and enhanced mortals cannot resist this power)
• Duration: Until the order is performed or the Vampire dies.

Implant Opinion

Sometimes instead of directly commanding a more subtle approach is needed.
The Vampire implants an opinion the victim will believe is their own. The opinion must be related to an event that is currently occurring around the victim. The higher the result the more extreme the targets’ reaction will be.

• Type: Power
• Tag: Mental
• Range & Targets: A single individual within Visual Range.
• Cost: 1 Rouse Check + 1 Action
• Conditions: Must make Eye Contact.
• Risk: None
• Test: Dominate + Manipulation (4)
• Resistance Roll: Wits + Resolve (mortals and enhanced mortals cannot resist this power)
• Duration: The power takes 1 Action to manifest after which the targets opinion will remain modified for the next 24 hours.

Level 4 

Rationalize

To be able to give a victim a good lullaby is great, to have the target provide one for themselves is even better.
The Vampire’s victims now believe that anything they did under the effects of Dominate was a result of their own free will and will rationalize it as such, however absurd.

• Type: Upgrade
• Tag: Physical
• Range & Targets: Targets anyone the Vampire is influencing via Dominated.
• Cost: None
• Conditions: None
• Risk: None
• Test: None
• Resistance Roll: None
• Duration: Permanent

Command Obedience

The power of the Vampires voice is now sufficient to trigger the powers of Dominate.
You no longer need to be within Visual Range or make Eye Contact with the target(s) of your Dominate powers, instead the target only needs to be in Vocal Range. For Dominate powers that include only a Visual component you may now chose to either manifest the power simply through Vocal means or still use just the Visual component.

• Type: Upgrade
• Tag: Physical
• Range & Targets: Targets only the Vampire himself.
• Cost: None
• Conditions: None
• Risk: None
• Test: None
• Resistance Roll: None
• Duration: Permanent

Level 5 

Terminus Decree

The elders of clan Ventrue are said to be capable of making mothers drown their children, lovers kill one another and guards slaughter their charges whit but a whisper.
The Vampires’ can now issue Dominate commands that directly violate the targets core tenants or force them to attack their family, friends or loved ones. Natural preservation still kicks in, to a degree, so targets who are asked to outright kill themselves will still get their normal resistance bonuses.

• Type: Upgrade
• Tag: Physical
• Range & Targets: Targets anyone the Vampire is influencing via Dominated.
• Cost: None
• Conditions: None
• Risk: None
• Test: None
• Resistance Roll: None
