Storytellerus

• FIRST BASIC: Clerical Error
  
  By expending a blood trait, you can make your opponent's character sheet be slightly off kilter. For the duration of the scene, your victim is down one Physical, Social or Mental Trait (your choice).
  
  
• SECOND BASIC: Rules Call
  
  With a mental challenge, the purveyor of Storytellerus can alter slightly the house interpretation of any rule. For example, Susie's game says that Aura Perception can not be used as a spontaneous lie detector test, but requires one minute of concentration. Susie uses her Rules Call ability, succeeds in her static mental challenge, and cna now spontanenously know if Bobby Brujah is full of crap. If you carry copies of house rules from other games, each one can be used as a retest.
  
  
• FIRST INTERMEDIATE: The Unlearning
  
  Functionally similar to the Basic power of Clerical Error, The Unlearning instead effects your opponent's Disciplines. Expend a mental trait, and make a Mental Challenge against your oppponent. Win, and remove one level of Discipline from their in-clans, or two from an Out of Clan Discipline. This effect lasts for the duration of the evening, or until cancelled by another Storytellerus effect.
  
  
• SECOND INTERMEDIATE: Spontaneous Mentor
  
  This power, while not always as immediately gratifying as the others, has great consequences. Expend up to 5 mental traits, and throw a Simple Mental Static. On a win, you now have a mentor of a value equal to the number of mental traits spent. Expend a temporary willpower to choose which clan this mentor is from. On a tie, the mentor's value is half of the traits you expended, rounded up.
  
  
• ADVANCED: RetCon
  
  This power is quite powerful in the hands of the creative. Expend a permanent willpower and bid one trait (Social or Mental for most, Physical traits vs. Brujah) against everyone participating in the scene with you. If you defeat more than half of the assembled players in this challenge (retest with Subterfuge, Stealth, or Whinesalot), you can retcon the scene you are presently in, back as far as the beginning of gameplay that evening.
