This power lets you reach a more advanced level with your Dominate powers, placing a subliminal command into a target’s mind that will activate exactly when you want it to. 

Cost: Free

Prerequisite: Cloud Memory, Compel, or Mesmerize 

System:  Any time you utilize the powers of Cloud Memory, Compel, or Mesmerism, you may allow your commands to remain dormant until a specific stimulus occurs. This trigger can be almost anything, such as a date or time, encountering a specific person, or hearing a certain phrase. 

For example, you might direct a target to drink mortal blood if she hears the word “vagrant.” If your target hears the word, and there is a source of mortal blood nearby, she will attempt to do so. 

These dormant effects remain until triggered and should be logged with your Storyteller. You may only have one active Submerged Directive in effect on a single character at a time. A character may have multiple Submerged Directives lying dormant from multiple different characters. If the dormant effect is triggered during combat, Submerged Directive works normally.

Duration: Until triggered
