Will of the Dynasty

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

Effect: This Merit reflects the degree to which identities begin to merge when Kindred become part of a cyclical dynasty. Telling (or forcing) the Kindred to do anything that would harm or betray a member of his House is tantamount to asking him to perform that same action against himself. Telling him to kill a member of his House is equivalent to telling him to commit suicide, for example.

All rolls to compel the Kindred to take an action that threatens or endangers his House allies (through Skills, Disciplines, magic or any other means) are automatically modified as though the character had spent a Willpower point. That is, either the character’s dice pool to resist such compulsions gets a +3 bonus or the character’s Resistance Trait is temporarily increased by 2. Likewise, the character gains these bonuses when a member

of his House attempts to betray, mislead or lie to him.
