The OP probably didn't see it because he's still suffering amnesia from the terrible car wreck he caused that night he drove drunk.

Gaslighting is when you are having a conversation and typing at the same time and then you accidentally say the word you are typing.

••• Gaslighting
Furthering the illusion that Dementation actually spreads Malkavia, is this power. When a Malkavian
has mastered this ability, she is able to plague a victim with a lingering madness that withers
one's poise and self-control. A short while after being exposed to this power, victims start to
wonder if they're going crazy. Later, they become certain that they are.

With Gaslighting, a Malkavian twists the victim's own mind into questioning itself, doubting its
own perceptions and knowledge, and rotting its own stability through anxiety. It starts with
something as subtle as being unable to find one's keys, and progresses through the kind of creeping
doubt that makes one wonder things like, "Didn't this room used to be
red? I'm sure it was red," and, "I didn't leave that out – who's
been in here?" Eventually, the victim may not be sure if he is being haunted, going crazy, or just
being hosed with, but he will have no doubt that something is very wrong.

Cost: 1 or more Vitae

Dice Pool: Presence + Intimidation + Dementation

Action: Extended. The target number of successes is equal to the target’s Willpower dots. Each roll
represents ten minutes of watching the target, studying him, and projecting the user’s malevolent
will.

Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The Malkavian cannot be sure if she is suffering the effects of her own power, or
someone else’s. She suffers a –2 penalty to Composure for the rest of the night, and cannot use
this power again for the remainder of the scene.

Failure: The target escapes the Malkavian’s attention before she is able to overcome his Willpower.
Her time is wasted, but she loses no Vitae.

Success: Once the Malkavian has accrued a number of suc- cesses equal to or greater than the
target’s Willpower, she spends one Vitae to begin his suffering. Within a few minutes, the target’s
derangement (if any) is triggered by his own imagina- tion – he thinks someone on the subway is
being intentionally rude to him, or he imagines his superior is angry at him, for example. If the
target has no derangement, he does when he next wakes up.

Beginning when the victim next wakes, he begins a reflexive extended action to overcome the effects
of Gaslighting. Roll In- telligence or Wits (as decided by the Malkavian when the power is invoked)
+ Resolve versus a target number of successes equal to the user’s Manipulation + Intimidation. The
user can raise this target number by +2 for each additional Vitae she spends on the turn when the
power is activated, up to a maximum target number of 20.

The victim is not aware of this struggle going on in his own psyche – his efforts to regain his
stability are happening in the back of his mind, outside his conscious control. (Yet the victim’s
player may be aware of it, and can spend Willpower on the character’s behalf.)

The length of time represented by each roll depends on the penalty accepted by the Malkavian when
this power was invoked (see below).

Every roll the character makes to attempt to overcome the ef- fects of Gaslighting, whether it is a
success or failure, reduces his Composure by one dot. If Composure is exhausted, subsequent rolls
reduce Resolve by one dot per roll. If Resolve is exhausted, no further damage is accrued. This
Attribute damage is healed as if it were lethal damage, with one point recovered every two days
(see the World of Darkness Rulebook, p. 167).

Until the victim completes the extended action to overcome this power, he continues to suffer the
effects of his derange- ments. A victim can be subject to only one instance of this power at a
time. Should a victim be targeted by several Malkavians, the most powerful instance of Gaslighting
is effective. This power affects mortals, ghouls and Kindred alike.

Exceptional Success: If the user achieves five successes over
and above the target’s Willpower dots, the victim suffers the effects of an additional mild
derangement of the Malkavian player’s choosing, or the effects of a more severe case of an existing
derangement.

Suggested Modifiers Modifier Situation
–2
Each roll of the victim’s extended action represents one day.
–4
Each roll of the victim’s extended action represents twelve hours.
–2
Power is turned on a target with no de- rangements.
–2
Power is turned on a target of Humanity 7 or higher.
+1
Power is turned on a target who has failed a degeneration roll in the past 72 hours.
+2
Power is turned on a target of Humanity 1 or 2.
+2 Power is turned on a target with whom
the user has a blood tie.
