The Rejected Malady

Dévotion de Order of Sir Martin

9 XP

The character becomes a master of her body, learning to reject that which would sicken her. Through this power she may completely eliminate all natural diseases and toxins from her body. In doing so, she vomits forth a thick, acrimonious black bile.

Cost: 1 Vitae and 1 Willpower
Dice Pool: Resolve + Medicine + Vigor
Action: Instant

If the invocation roll is successful, the character immediately banishes any diseases, poisons or other deleterious substances or toxins from her system. She spends the turn in which she uses this power curled over and vomiting. She may take no other action and does not benefit from her Defense, even through the use of Celerity or other supernatural powers, though armor still applies. After the power has been used, she no longer suffers any ill effects from the foreign substance, nor can she pass a disease on to another being. (Leper Knights occasionally seek out specific diseases to spread to other Kindred or mortals, knowing that they can reject the disease afterwards.) This power has no effect on supernatural diseases or poisons (though natural diseases exacerbated through supernatural means, such as the Discipline of Cachexy, are affected) and cannot remove the effects of consuming the blood of other supernatural entities, such as werewolves.
