The Call

The Call is a term used by Malkavians to describe a discipline power exclusive to their bloodline.

Overview
Although many clan gatherings happen spontaneously, the Call arising from a general subconscious need shared by a city’s Malkavian population, it is possible to send the Call deliberately. Both Auspex and Dementation offer the ability to send the Call, although it’s a much easier art to perform when expressed through Dementation.

The Call as broadcasted is not a verbal thing; it merely conveys an impression of a place and a time. There is no sense of purpose, nor even the name of the gathering point; still, neither is really necessary. The Call is so instinctive that if an American Malkavian who didn’t speak a word of French were visiting Paris, and heard the Call, he’d be able to follow his impressions and visions to the gathering place as readily as any native Lunatic.

System
The vampire using the call must be a Malkavian who has mastered Auspex Level 8 or Dementation level 6. To send the Call, the Malkavian rolls Perception + Empathy, difficulty 6. As always, other clan members will hear (and attend if they so choose) only if they make their Malkavian Time rolls.
