Draugr don’t always cooperate, but sometimes a kind of pack instinct takes over. This Devotion allows a draugr to call out to any others of its kind in the vicinity. This Devotion is mercifully rare, because it constitutes a terrible danger the Masquerade (not to mention anyone standing near the draugr employing it).
Cost: 1 Willpower + 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Presence + Persuasion + Majesty
Action: Instant
The draugr lets out an unearthly howl. This hideous sound carries farther than it should—the draugr’s Beast reaches out to the Beasts of any other Kindred in the area, and they respond.
Roll Results
Dramatic Failure:
Any draugr or Larvae within a quarter mile respond, but the pitiful, mewling cry for help enrages them, and they attack the draugr (that has no idea the Devotion backfired).
Failure:
The howl carries, but the mystical summons does not. The attempt fails.
Success:
The howl rings out and carries with it a mystical summons to any vampiric Beast in the area. All draugr and Larvae within a half-mile per success respond to the summons. They aren’t necessarily under the vampire’s command when they arrive, but they attack mortals and non-draugr first.
Exceptional Success:
The call affects normal Kindred in Frenzy, as well.
