Art Notes: A fist balled up like it is about to punch the front the frame of the picture.

World of Darkness reference: In the original Mind's Eye theater rules, vampires had Beast Traits. These traits had conditions which would cause the vampire that had them to frenzy. Bullheaded was particularly nasty beast trait that usually only vampires that were physically strong or had potence possessed. Specifically, if the character was controlled mentally or socially, they would immediately frenzy and attack the source. Strangely, it was a very popular beast trait as I know an entire group of LARPers that played Anarchs which had this beast trait on their characters. The Thanatosis effect was a common use of Putrefaction meant to delay and weaken an opposing vampire (and usually make them think twice before continuing their original action).

How does this card address a compelling game need?: This allows vampires with potence to deal with bleed reduction and bounce effects. It promotes cross deck use with Giovanni and Samedi. It also an extremely thematic mechanic.

Here is text from the last update

This is the card I am most surprised about not getting a comment on. The basic Thanatosis text was too weak. The basic Potence was the heart of the card but the superior Potence doesn't really add anything to the card. And more importantly Thanatosis needs this card more than Potence which already had a similar card in the form of Shadow Boxing. So I have flipped this card to be Thanatosis primary card.
