True Faith

True Faith is a power held by the truly devout. With True Faith, for example, a brandished cross can have an effect on a Vampire, Fallen, Mage, Werewolf, Wraith or Changeling instead of being merely an empty symbol of faith. Faith can come from beliefs other than Christianity; Islam and Judaism have long histories of divine favor, and even virtuous pagans can resist the lure of darkness.

Mortals
Mortals with True Faith are sometimes, but not necessarily, Hunters (not necessarily the Imbued hunters of Hunter: The Reckoning or the Shih, the demon hunters of Asia). It also allows an individual to use a number of miracles. Members of the Society of Leopold (the modern face of the Inquisition) are so well trained in using True Faith as a weapon that some of them can destroy nearly any supernatural entity they encounter.

Vampires
As unholy creatures and abominations in the eyes of God, True Faith has been know to repel, stun, and even injure vampires. If someone with True Faith, such as a priest, were to touch a vampire's flesh, the vampire would recoil in pain as the touch would scorch their cursed skin.

Some very rare Kindred have True Faith. It is the case of Cardinal Ambrosio Luis Monçada, Anatole and some Nosferatu.

Werewolves
True Faith forces werewolves to revert to human form.

Mages
True Faith disrupts magical attacks.

Wraiths
Wraiths are so susceptible to it that even a person without True Faith can exorcise them out of a person or a place and ward the area against further entry.

Demons
True Faith is far different from the Faith that fuels demonic powers. Demonic Faith is the self-assurance that a demon has within itself as well as the devotion and belief of its followers. True Faith is Faith that directed towards God and against the Fallen. True Faith has double its normal effect on infernal powers. A character with True Faith can inflict one die of aggravated damage for every point of True Faith he or she possesses. Demons with moderate- or high-Torment are affected by True Faith much in the same way as vampires; they cannot set foot on holy ground, are repelled by holy symbols, and are susceptible to exorcism.

Demons with low-Torment are immune to True Faith; able to enter holy ground and touch holy items without harm.
