Shadow Cutting

Category

The Shadow Lord can wound a foe by striking at his very shadow. This form of attack is difficult to dodge, and it can be a most convenient attack form in some conditions - such as sundown. This Gift is taught by a night-spirit.

System

The character spits into his opponent's shadow. The player spends a Gnosis point. For the remainder of the scene, the character may strike at his foe's shadow to wound him. The character may only use fetish weapons or natural weaponry such as claws to attack in this fashion; more mundane attacks do not carry any impact. The victim has two fewer dice to dodge attacks targeted at his shadow, and he cannot parry said attacks at all. The Storyteller may even opt to give the attacker extra dice in situations in which the shadow presents an even more convenient target. For example, if the target is standing in an alleyway out of reach, but his shadow still falls at the character's feet, the target is fair game.
