Art notes: a long haired woman striking her opponent's hand or gun and changing the trajectory of the gun shot against her

World of Darkness reference: none

How does this card address a compelling game need?: gives a non preventing clan (like toreador or osebo) chances of preventing some kind of damage with a plausible roleplay explanation. Besides, this enhances and incentivates the melee weapon using.

I would use:

dodge.
Strike: Prevent all damage from guns this round. This minion cannot gain any additional strikes.[/b]

I believe there is a Preternatural Evasion - or something like that - metadiscipline on the Guide to Camarilla wich fits this card very well.

preternetural evasion already exists in vtes.

My intention with this card is to create a "prevent" card with auspex / celerity and melee weapon to enhance and incentivate melee weapon using.

Next stop: making good melee weapons.

I mean they are ok, and I played some decks with them, and 1 deck based on bundi, but without the "lethal" and "non-lethal" damage clauses from the RPG, we can't put them side by side with the guns. And with the restriction of "non ranged" you're not fortifing the melee at all. It could be "prevent 2 damage" and "SUP prevent and make an aditional strike, only with melee weapons"

thinking more about this, I would do this card slightly different

Prevent 2 damage. This is considered an equipment prevention.
dodge with an additional strike, only usable with a melee weapon.
