The Shadow Lord may deliver a blow so merciless and terible that it strikes fear into the hearts of those around her. Anyone witnessing the Dolorous Stroke becomes faint of heart, and finds it difficulty to oppose the Shadow Lord capable of such a strike. This Gift is taught by a Death spirit.
System
The player spends a Gnosis point and then rolls to hit; she may take no other action this turn. If she misses, the Gift is ineffectual. But if she hits, she gains two bonus dice to her damage pool. If she does at least three levels of damage (after soak) to her target, any onlookers are dismayed by the brutal expertise of the Shadow Lord's attack, and suffer a one-die penalty to any rolls made against the Shadow Lord for the remainder of the scene.
