Amphivena is the signature power of the Gorgons bloodline.


Body of the Gorgon – 5

Due to the fact that this as written, could get ridiculous really quick, we’ve house ruled parts of this power to make it seem realistic for a power of it's level.


The cost stays the same as written in the book, the same with the transformation timing as well as the lack-of-ability-to-move during this time as well.


The abilities granted by this power have changed slightly:

  • Form: As per the book.
  • Spraying Venom: As per the book.
  • Amplification of Dominate: We’ve changed this section to read as the following:

“The most profound aspect of the Body of the Gorgon, however, is doubtless its ability to amplify the powers of Dominate through a great and terrible mystic radiance. On her turn, a vampire transmogrified by the Body of the Gorgon can spend one Vitae to activate the Command or Mesmerize powers of Dominate against one target that is viewing her, reflexively. This reflexive use of Dominate puts the onus on subjects to look away from the Gorgon, rather than tasking her with achieving eye contact. The Gorgon must issue a single instruction to the individual, though the victim can contest the action on his own, as usual.


Onlookers must be able to see the Gorgon directly. Reflections and broadcasts do not carry her power, but simple filters like sunglasses offer no protection. Characters wishing to look away from a Gorgon using the Body of the Gorgon must spend a willpower point and then succeed on a Resolve roll, which allows them to look away from the Gorgon. However, if they decide to look once again at the Gorgon using this power, they are once again enraptured (or horrified, as it may be) and must re-roll once again. At the Storyteller’s discretion, substantial visual interference between the onlooker and the Gorgon such as smoke or a waterfall can grant as much as a +5 bonus to the onlooker’s contested roll to resist these powers.”
