Incite emotion

[Khayne]

Hey guys,

I have a white court virgin template character in my campaign, and i was wondering how you guys would judge the Incite Emotion ability he has.

There are 3 main houses of the white court and they seem to possess different talents. Some feed on despair, some fear and some lust. Should this limit or prohibit the Incite Emotion ability when used to incite emotion fear in someone when you are of a house that feeds on lust?

I cant say i remember any reference of the Raith family inciting fear for instance (my memory sucks though). Except ofc the fear anyone would get when faced with a vampire letting loose.

I was thinking that you get a penalty when you try to incite an emotion that is not what your house excels at.

If you spend the refresh to gain an extra emotion you should be able to use it as well as any of the other emotions, Madrigal Wraithe fed on two types of emotion thought that was due to his mixed heritage.

Ahh, so thats the deal. You buy Incite Emotion: Fear for instance. Its not a generic all round power you can use to incite any kind of emotion. Thanks, that clarifies a bit for me

Right. Incite Emotion lets you incite one type of emotion, Additional Emotions are all available for extra refresh.

I know Madrigal Raith learned how to feed on fear based on his close association with House Malvora, but I'm not 100% that he learned how to Incite that particular emotion. This indicates that it doesn't matter what blood line they are born into, they can learn to survive on a particular fare, but the houses do seem to have their favorites.

According to his write-up he certainly did learn to incite it.
