It's unclear how this will factor into the game, or if it will be replaced with a new Bane. In the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop game, a Toreador will lose dice on rolls if they find themselves in less than beautiful surroundings. The website for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 does not reveal how the Toreador clan Bane will work in the game. Presence makes the user unnaturally attractive, which manifests in two powers - Awe (everyone who sees the vampire is frozen on the spot), and Entrance (the ability to control an entire group of people and use them against an enemy.) If the player takes on the bloodline of the Toreador, then they will gain access to the Celerity and Presence disciplines. Celerity increases the speed of the user, which manifests in two powers - Unseen Storm (the ability to dash in order to approach or dodge an enemy) and Accelerate (the ability to slow down time).
