The power to create a protective barrier.
Used by Lilith (Lily) Weider, Created by TheSuperChrisb.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see Blood Play.You must actively and obviously be using up 1 Liter of Blood.)

In a flash, Lilith knits freestanding blood into a structure of pulsing veins suspended around her target, protecting them from all damage. As long as she concentrates, a circle of blood remains around her target as she focuses, splashing up to intercept any further incoming attacks


Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction to activate. Select a Animate target within 20 feet. You must use up 1 Liter of Blood in order to activate this Effect. Make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect. Roll Charisma + Occult (10 dice) at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a Barrier around your target, which absorbs the next Outcome + 2 Damage. The Damage reduction from the Barrier is applied before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The Barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of damage. When a Barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds. As long as it does not fall, the barrier regenerates back to full strength at the end of each Round of combat.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Blood Play.

  • If you use this Effect as a Reaction to dodge, you still need to make a roll to dodge. The Effect will occur regardless of the Outcome of this roll, but if you fail you will be hit by the relevant attack prior to the Effect occurring.
