Not surprisingly, Kindred who use Dominate were often willful, controlling individuals in mortal life. Still, some simple orders may be made with signs - for example, a pointed finger and forceful expression to indicate "Go!" If the subject doesn't understand the vampire (she doesn't speak the same language, the order doesn't make sense, she cannot hear his words), she won't comply with the directive, no matter how mighty the Kindred's supernatural will. Commands must be issued verbally after all, direct mind-to-mind contact is the purview of Auspex.

While truly potent, Dominate powers can be exacting to perform. The extent of this control depends on the particular power being applied. Use of Dominate requires that the Kindred capture his victim's eye as such, it may be used against only one subject at a time. This Discipline involves influencing the very thoughts and actions of others through the vampire's own force of will.
