A type of supernatural toughness and vigor which allows Kindred extra advantages in reisiting the harm to which their kind is especially vulnerable. All vampires have a powerful constitution , and are able to shrug off the injury inflicted by guns and weapons of all sorts. However, most are very susceptable to sunlight and fire, and are easily harmed by them. Those with Fortitude are not easily bowed by even these elemental forces, and are even more resistant to "normal" injuries.
System: Fortitude provides the ability to resist sunlight and fire to those who possesses it. For each level of Fortitude a character possesses, he may roll one die to soak aggrivated, lethal or bashing damage.
6 - Personal Armour
With the expenditure of two bloodpoints
the vampire may add an eerie hardness to his flesh. Every time an attack
is made of the Kindred using Personal Armour (that he doesn't dodge), his
player rolls Fortitude (difficulty 8). If the roll grants more successes
than the attack rolled, then the weapon shatters against the vampire's
flesh. (Fetishes, klavies and "magical" swords may be resistant to this
effect) The vampire still takes normal damage from the attack, but this
may be soaked as normal. If the attack roll botches any normal weapon is
instantly smashed. On a miss of a hand-to-hand attack, the attacker takes
one level of bashing damage.
7 - Shared Strength
Roll:Sta. + Survival, difficulty 8, 9 if
the target is not a normal mortal.
Shared strength transfers a portion ofa
vamp's Fortitude to another being. (One dot for every point transferred).
Furthermore, the character must spend one willpower point and press some
of his blood into the target's forehead which will remain as long as the
power is in effect.
