Obeah
(replaces high level Auspex)
The Salubri are shunned for being soul-stealers and Diablerists. The existence of Obeah is almost contradictory to this claim, yet appears to be the root of such a rumour. The Cyclopses are well acquainted with emotional and physical turmoil. Even the damned hate them for the most part, and they are attacked wherever they go. So intimate is their understanding of pain, that they can soothe it in others, at the price of taking it unto themselves for a time. Through this power, they can calm the rage in a Brujah, quell the orgasmic ecstasy of a revelrous Minister, or excise the sadness of a catatonic Toreador: all at the cost of experiencing it firsthand. This of course removes the feeling from the target, and as such it is a most surreal and unnerving experience for the unprepared.
[ System: The Salubri approaches a person experiencing intense emotion, and spends an appropriate amount of time talking to them in an attempt to resolve, silence, or steal the emotion.
Via negotiation, the Player makes clear to the Target that they are removing an emotion that they are experiencing, and replacing it with a void. After this negotiation, the target reacts accordingly, and the Player is now experiencing what was taken. This effect lasts for 10 minutes for the target, and until the Salubri uses this power again for the User.]
