Shedding the Snake’s Skin

The Dark Father has taught you the secrets of shedding your skin, allowing you to be reborn anew and fool the soulless minions of the Aeons. Expend a standard action to rip the outer layer of skin from your face. Afterward, your body renews, and you automatically heal 3 points of damage, starting with aggravated damage first. The effects of any powers active on you when you use Shedding the Snake’s Skin, such as Summon, Clairvoyance, or the Thaumaturgy ritual Blood Contract, immediately end, canceling them. The user of any powers broken in this manner know that her hold over you has been rebuked by Set’s glory. This power resets any previous Familiarity others have established with you (see MET: VTM: Familiarity with Target, page 114). Just as a snake infrequently sheds its skin, you are likewise limited to using this power only once per game session, and afterwards your maximum Willpower pool is reduced by 1 for 30 days or two game sessions, whichever is shorter.
