Use of Willpower for Automatic Successes

The use of temporary Willpower points to augment successes is allowed with the following caveats:

• It is no small thing to tap into a character's inner strength. In the post before the roll, the reason for the willpower use must be explained. Willpower should not be used for frivolous reasons, and as such, the Vampire/Kindred/Cainite should have a compelling reason for needing that roll to succeed.
• If you wish to spend a Willpower point for an automatic success on a roll, an ST must give approval for the Willpower point to be spent after justification is made and before you are given a difficulty to the roll.
• In the case of Iron Will: Willpower may be used to augment your roll with an automatic success. However, a person Iron Will is notoriously difficult to bend. To reflect this, Staff has decided that to succeed on a roll where Iron Will applies and to reflect the power of the merit, the character rolling against the character with Iron Will must get success equal to half the defending character's willpower roll rounded up.
