•••• Breath of Death
The monster breathes out a cloud of acrid, deadly gas that settles over the immediate area. Any living creature in the area risks terrible pain and possibly death.
Effect
Dramatic Failure: The character fails completely to create the poison cloud — worse, he suffers some of the ill-effects himself. His skin blisters and cracks and he coughs, once,
vomiting a small amount of blood. He loses another Vitae and suffers two points of lethal damage.
Failure: The character breathes out the gas, but it dissipates almost immediately.
Success: The character exhales a cloud of greenish gas that smells a little of chlorine, a little of horseradish and a little of cut grass. Anyone who comes into contact with the affected area must roll to avoid damage, as described above.
The cloud of gas persists for a length of time that depends on the number of successes rolled:
Successes | Duration
1 success | One turn
2 successes | Two turns
3 successes | Four turns
4 successes | Until the end of the scene
5+ | successes Until sunrise
Exceptional Success: The gas fills twice the usual area.
