Sometimes the shift into animal (or otherwise inhuman) form simply takes too long. Developed by the Gangrel, Instantaneous Transformation allows such a shift to take place, not over the span of seconds, but literally in the blink of an eye.
- Cost: 1 Vitae (in addition to other costs required by the transformation)
- Dice Pool: Stamina + Survival + Protean
- Action: Reflexive
Success on the activation roll indicates that the character transforms into an alternate shape instantly — so fast, in fact, that he may still take a normal action in that turn. If the roll fails, the character still transforms normally for the Protean Discipline used (in the space of one turn). He simply loses the one Vitae for this Devotion, and any other points must still be spent for the change itself. If a dramatic failure occurs, the character cannot change at all this turn, and he loses one Vitae to the wasted Devotion.
Note that this Devotion is most useful to those vampires who can exhaust multiple Vitae in a single turn.
