Cacophony Savvy 000
*Getting Up 0: Character can use Intelligence + Streetwise to identify secret messages of Underground Vampires.

Backpacker 00: In a week of coming to town, the user may learn the favored feeding grounds, common aliases, etc., about most vampires.

Wearing a Hat 000: Character embodies honor amongst thieves. Nothing happens without their knowledge, and once per chapter, can roll Wits + Politics to answer one of the following…
Who is on the way up?
Who is on the way out?
Where in the city is the Masquerade thinnest?
What mortal is closest to uncovering Kindred?
Where’s the best feeding in town?
When acting on the answer, consider all rolls exceptional successes on three successes instead of five.

Feeding Grounds (Tower of London) 00000
Add +5 to any hunting rolls (see pg. 95). In addition, add the dot rating to any predatory aura conflicts on their territory.

Status, City: 000 (p. 123)

Area of Expertise, Storytelling: +2 for specialization instead of +1

Fleet of Foot 000
Prerequisite: Athletics 00
Effect: Character is remarkably quick and runs far faster than frame suggests. Character gains +1 speed per dot (3) and anyone pursuing suffers -1 per dot (3) for foot chase rolls.

Safe Place: 000 (Secret room in Tower of London)

DISCIPLINES
DOMINATE 0000
*Mesmerize 0
Dice Pool: Intelligence + Expression + Dominate vs. Resolve + Blood Potency
Cost: None
Action: Instant
Success: Vampire holds victim’s eyes for a minute in order to inflict the Mesmerized Condition (p.305).
*Iron Edit 00
Cost: 1 Vitae or 0 if victim is in Vinculum w/ user
Dice Pool: None
Requirements: The vampire must have inflicted the Mesmerized Condition on the victim
Action: Instant
Success: The command takes two turns per sentence to convey. The command relies on the victim’s interpretation. The victim takes the Dominated Condition (p. 302) and will follow the vampire’s commands as soon as she finishes speaking them. They continue to follow the order until the task is completed or until sun rise. Many kindred use Iron Edit to issue simple commands such as “Obey my direct instructions when I give them to you,” which effectively gives them control over the minion until the sun comes up, though it doesn’t extend the duration of the Mesmerized condition.

*Entombed Command 000
Cost: None, uses other Dominate powers
Dice Pool: Intelligence + Subterfuge + Dominate – victim’s Resolve
Requirements: Victim must be currently Mesmerized by the user
Action: Instant
Duration: One week per success or one month with Vinculum victim.
Success: The kindred can implant a number of subconscious triggers equal to the number of successes rolled to trigger specific effects of other Dominate powers. They must pay any Vitae cost for these powers as normal. These triggers remain for one week, or one month per success if victim is already in a stage of Vinculum.

*Lying Mind 0000
Cost: 2 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Requirements: victim must already be mesmerized, and must be given one of the user’s vitae.
Action: Instant to activate (but must explain new memories which takes time)
Duration: Permanent
Success: Victim’s memories can be completely reworked. Creating complicated memories, like replacing someone’s wife’s face with their own, requires a minute.

CELERITY 00000
*Persistent: Add vampire’s dots in Celerity to their Defense or Dodge roll when actively defending.
*Active: Costs 1 Vitae per ability
Power 1: Move to the top of the round. If someone else does this as well, they enter a Clash of Wills (p.125).
Power 2: Interrupt a character’s action with a single action of your own (move or attack, but not both).
Power 3: Multiply their speed by dots in Celerity +1.

OBFUSCATE 000
*Face in the Crowd 0
Cost: None
Dice Pool: None
Action: Instant
Duration: Scene
For the rest of the scene, people’s eyes just slide off the vampire. They know someone is there, but don’t remember what they look like (“some guy”). If doing something that would draw attention, they must make a Wits + Composure roll to notice commotion, penalized by the user’s Obfuscate dots.

*Touch of Shadow 00
Cost: 1 Vitae
Requirement: Must touch the object they want to hide. In the caste of an unwilling victim, the vampire must roll to touch his opponent (p.177). The target’s size can not be greater than the user’s size.
Dice Pool: Wits + Larceny + Obfuscate
Action: Reflexive
Duration: Scene
Success: For the rest of the scene, people’s eyes slide off the object. Since people have a hard time noticing occluded objects they must succeed at a reflexive Wits + Composure penalized by user’s Obfuscate dots.

*Cloak of Night 000
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: None (can spend a point of Vitae to vanish completely)
Action: None
Used w/ Cloak of Night, Touch of Shadow can now affect other people, making the object vanish with the target (mostly to feed on). The normal rules for piercing Touch of Shadow apply. The kindred doesn’t just fade, but vanishes entirely, leaving no scent and making no sound. Completely vanishing costs a point of Vitae.

RESILIANCE 00
*Persistent: Add vampire’s dots in Resilience to their Stmina.
*Active: Costs 1 Vitae per effect
Dicepool: None
Action: Reflexive
Power 1 : Spending point of Vitae allows vampire to dismiss grievous wounds, even those from banes. Subtract Resilience dots plus one from all non-bane sources of damage. Mechanically, this is similar to armor, but does nothing to reduce the visual signs of injury.
Power 2: Subtract Resilience dots from all damage from fire or other acquired banes.

*Character gains the 8-again feature when invoking “Competitive Beast”. However, character does not get the 10-again feature when invoking the “Seductive Beast”.

Haven, Tower of London: 0000
*Add Rating to Humanity rolls to notice danger while sleeping, and any Stamina + Resolve rolls to remain awake. As well, add it to any Kindred senses (p.90) when rolling within.

Kindred Status, City: 000

Kindred Dueling 00000
*Hamstring: 0
With a well-placed tendon strike, you can briefly cripple a vampire’s ability to augment their physical prowess with Vitae. By targeting a limb (and taking -2 for doing so), your successful strike denies that limb from the benefits of “Physical Intensity” (p 91) for a turn.

*Taunt: 00
You know the way the Beast works, and how to taunt it with shallow swipes. Before you roll, remove a number of dice from your pool no greater than your Weaponry Dots. Make your roll. If the attack succeeds, the victim must roll to resist frenzy with a penalty equal to the number of dice you removed.

*Carving: 000
When you strike, you curve the blade hard to pull flesh apart, making it harder to heal. When Carving, your weapon’s damage rating deals lethal to Kindred instead of bashing.

*Pincushion: 0000
You hit deep, intending to lodge your weapon in a victim. If you choose to leave your weapon in the victim on a successful strike, the victim cannot heal the wound with Viate. You may remove it as a reflexive action. If anyone else wishes to remove it, they can attempt a Strength + Stamina roll, minus the damage caused as an instant action.

*Spray: 00000
You cut mass from the body, pouring blood. Sacrafice your defense for the turn to use this maneuver. On a successful attack roll, you can choose to remove Vitae from your opponent instead of Health levels. You can divide the Health levels of damage and Vitae in any combination after the roll.

*Area of Expertise: Swords (Resolve 00, one Skill Specialty)
You gain +2 for the specialization instead of +1

*Fleet of Foot 000
+1 to Speed per dot and anyone pursuing them suffers a -1 die penalty per dot during foot chase rolls.

*Indomitable 00 (Resolve 000)
Your character possesses unyielding will. Any time a supernatural creature uses a power to influence your thoughts or emotions, add +2 bonus. If the roll is contested, -2 die penalty from the monster’s dice pool.

*Iron Will 00 (Resolve 0000)
Your resolve is unwavering. When spending Willpower to contest or resist in Social interactions, you may substitute your character’s Resolve for the usual Willpower bonus. If the roll is contested, roll with 8-again.

*Trained Observer 000 (Wits 000 or Composure 000)
Whenever making a Perception roll (Wits + Composure), you benefit from 8-again.

Alternate Identity 000 (William the Conqueror)
Your character has established an alternate identity. At 3 dots, gain +2 die bonus to Subterfuge rolls to defend the identity.

----------- ----------------------------------------------- -----------------

DISCIPLINES
Celerity: 00000
Persistent: Add vampire’s dots in Celerity to their Defense or Dodge roll. Even Firearms attacks must apply this penalty.

Active (Cost 1 Vitae)
-Immediately move to the head of Initiative.
-Interrupt the action of another character with a brief action of their own. This could be an attack, making it possible to disable an opponent in mid-action. It could also be an instant action like a discipline or dodging.
-Multiply their speed by dots in Celerity + 1.

Majesty 000

*Awe 0
Cost: none
Dice Pool: None
Action: Instant
Duration: Scene
All eyes fall on vampire and nobody cares what he’s doing. They suffer no penalties to Social rolls from actions or appearance. As center of attention, they add Majesty dots to any Presence rolls when talking to people around them. Anyone talking to them also minuses Majesty dots to any Wits + Composure rolls to notice anything other than the vampire.

Confidant 00
Cost: none
Requirements: Must have awed victim
Dice Pool: Presence + Empathy + Majesty vs Resolve + Blood Pontency
Action: Contested: resistance is reflexive
Success: The vampire successfully charms their victim. The victim gains the Charmed Condition (p. 301).

Green Eyes 000
Cost: 1 Vitae
Requirements: Vampire must have inflicted the Charmed or Enthralled Condition on Target
Dice Pool: None
Action: Reflexive
Duration: Scene
Effect: Victim is now thoroughly obsessed with the vampire. Can send anyone into a violent rage (or even frenzy) or make them so depressed that they feel hollow without the vampire. Each shift costs 1 point of Vitae, but they can instill the same emotion in any number of victims at once. Vampire can ask one of his Charmed minions to do something in such a way that they feel an obsessive need to accomplish it. They could ask them to kill someone, give money or perform debased or degrading acts for amusement. Damage or a breaking point can break the condition.

Resilience 00000
Persistent: Add vampire’s dots to his Stamina. Whenever dealt aggravated damage, for each dot of Resilience, downgrade one point of aggravated damage to lethal. This applies to fire and banes but not sunlight.

Active (1 Vitae per effect)
*Subtract Resilience dots plus one from all non-bane sources of damage. Mechanically, this is similar to Armor, but does not reduce visual signs of injury.
*If an injury specifically removes a limb, eye or so on, the vampire does suffer logical impairments from the injuries. This makes it more difficult to stake a vampire.
*Subtract Resilience dots from all damage from fire or other acquired banes. Sunlight still is beyond this power’s protection. The wounds still show.

Vigor 00000
Persistent: Add vampire’s dots in Vigor to their Strength. This can reaise their Strength above the normal limits imposed by Blood Potency. Additionally, the vampire may make a Strength + Athletics roll to jump. The yards (meters) jumped are equal to the amount of successes x Vigor dots + 1 (6).

Active (1 Vitae)
*Add dots in Vigor as a weapon bonus to all Athletics, Brawl and Weaponry attacks made this turn. This puts enormous train on weapons, especially those not intended for heavy hitting. Improvised weapons take one point of damage for every dot of Vigor over the tool’s durability whenever they are used in this manner.
*Lift and hurl objects normally far too unwieldy to use as weapons such as boulders, cars or other people. Any object they can lift, with Size no greater than their Strength, can be used as an improved melee or throwing weapon. Improvised weapons have a weapon bonus equal to the lower of their Size or durability. Objects with Size greater than 5 deal lethal damage to mortals, while those with Size 10 or more deal lethal even to vampires.

Devotions
Body of Will (Resilience 000, Vigor 0)
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Stamina + Survival + Resilience
Action: Reflexive
For one turn per success, the character suffers no wound penalties. As well, during any turn where he takes damage, he does not need to spend Vitae to activate one effect of Vigor.

Juggernaut’s Gait (Resilience 00000, Vigor 000)
Cost: 5 Vitae per turn
Dice Pool: None
Action: Reflexive
During this time all bashing, lethal, aggravated (fire or sun) is absorbed inot a coat of blood on their skin. They take no damage from any source.

Acute Senses 0
*Effect: Vampire can see, smell and hear at twice the distance. Add Blood Potency to any roll to use her senses. This includes rolls to remember and identify sensory details.
Drawbacks: Sometimes senses can overwhelm them. Anytime you roll an exceptional success on a roll related to senses, gain the Obsession Condition for the stimulus, but instead of being Persistent, it lasts a number of nights equal to the successes.

Bloodhound 00 (Wits 000)
*Your character can discern blood, detecting or tracking it by smelling a blood source instead of tasting it.

Claws of the Unholy 0 (Protean 0000)

Etiquette 00
*Bless His Heart 0
Your character’s words are carefully considered. No matter how vile, you may opt to use your Socialize score instead of the lower of Resolve or Composure for opening doors.
*Losing Your Religion 00
When letting loose an insult, you leave mouths agape. When tearing down a target verbally, use 8-again, and take +2 die bonus to the roll. Afterwards, move the interaction one step down on the impression chart.

Striking Looks 00
Character is stunning and charming. Social rolls increase by +2.

Taste 0 (Crafts 00, specialization in Crafts or Expression)
Effect: Wits + Craft Roll can pick out obscure details. For each success, ask one of the following questions or take +1 die bonus to social rolls when talking about it.
-What is the hidden meaning in this?
What was the creator feeling during its creation?
What’s its weakest point?
What other witness is most moved by the piece?
How should one best appreciate this piece?

Effect: When you spend a point of Willpower, Obfuscate and Nightmare do not function on you for the rest of the scene. You also see through similar illusions created by other Disciplines or supernatural powers.
Drawbacks: Seeing the truth in a way no other person does leads to breaking points. If you are ghouled or turned into a vampire, the ephermal gift vanishes.  

Protected 00 (Ghoul or Human)
Effect: if your character is in danger, her regnant senses it, and can spend a Willpower point to coincidentally arrive on the scene in time to save you.

Empowered to Speak 0

Beast Whispers 00 (Ghoul or Human)
Effect: Your character can talk any Kindred down from frenzy as if he were the Kindred’s Touchstone (p. 87). Because he does not necessarily have the same connection to the Kindred as her Touchstone, if things go poorly, they may go very poorly for your character directly depending on what the Beast wants.

Watch Dog 00 (Ghoul, Regnant has Auspex)
Effect: During the day, your Regnant can give up her ability to use her Auspex Discipline. If she does, you may use it as though you had it an whatever level she possesses.

Trained Observer 000 (Wits 000, Composure 000)

Relic •••
Character has a special relic (Skiver, the Skyfall Impaler)

Heavy Weapons (• to •••••; Style)
Prerequisites: Stamina •••, Strength •••, Athletics ••, Weaponry ••
Effect: Your character is trained with heavy weapons which require strength, wide range, and follow through more than direct speed and accuracy. This Style may be used with a two-handed weapon such as a claymore, chainsaw, pike, or an uprooted street sign.

Sure Strike (•): Your character doesn’t always hit the hardest or the most frequently, but she guarantees a deadly strike when she does hit. You can reflexively remove three dice from any attack dice pool (to a minimum of zero) to add one to your character’s weapon damage rating for the turn. These dice must be removed after calculating any penalties from the environment or the opponent’s Defense.
Threat Range (••): Your character’s weapon is immense and keeps opponents at bay. If you opt not to move or Dodge during your turn, any character moving into your character’s proximity suffers one lethal damage and a penalty to their Defense equal to your character’s weapon damage rating. This penalty only lasts for one turn. This cannot be used in a turn the character is Dodging.
Bring the Pain (•••): Your character’s strikes stun and incapacitate as well as causing massive trauma to the body. Sacrifice your character’s Defense to use Bring the Pain. Make a standard attack roll. Any damage you score with Bring the Pain counts as a penalty to all actions the victim takes during their next turn. So, if you cause four lethal damage, the opponent is at -4 on their next attack.
Warding Stance (••••): Your character holds her weapon in such a way as to make attacks much harder. If her weapon’s drawn, spend a point of Willpower reflexively to add her weapon’s damage rating as armor for the turn. This will not protect against firearms.
Rending (•••••): Your character’s cuts leave crippling, permanent wounds. By spending a Willpower point before making an attack roll, her successful attacks cause one level of aggravated damage in addition to her weapon’s damage rating. This Willpower point does not add to the attack roll.

----------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Disciplines

Celerity 00000
*Persistent: Add Celerity to Defense or Dodge roll when defending actively (even w/ firearms)
*Active
Cost: 1 Vitae
-Allow burst of speed that allows user to move to the head of initiative (1 turn)
-Can interrupt the action of another character with a brief action of their own (instant action only)

Flight 000
Too heavy to fly by natural means, the stony Gargoyles must use this discipline to take to the air.  At 3 dots, the vampire can carry their weight and has a maximum speed of x3 from their ground movement.  

Obfuscate 000
*Face in the Crowd 0
Cost: None
Dice Pool: None
Action: Instant
Duration: Scene
People’s eyes slide off the vampire, and he’s just seen as “some guy” of average height and build. If the character is doing something that would draw attention, including but not limited to being violent, everyone in sight gets a reflexive Wits + Composure roll minus the user’s Obfuscate dots. Even the preadotry aura seemingly disappears so that other kindred can’t see it.

*Touch of Shadow 00
Cost: 1 Vitae
Requirement: Must touch the object he/she wants to hide. In the case of an unwilling victim, the vampire must roll to touch his opponent (see p. 177). The target cannot have a Size greater than the vampire’s own without penalty (-1 per increase in size).
Dice Pool: Wits + Larceny + Obfuscate
Action: Reflexive
Duration: Scene
Success: For the rest of the scene, people’s eyes slide off of the object. Since people have a hard time noticing occluded objects, the vampire can hide behind an object affected. In order to notice the occluded object, observers must succeed at a reflexive Wits + Composure check, penalized by the vampire’s Obfuscate dots (5).

*Cloak of Night 000
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
The user can now affect other people. The normal rules for piercing Touch of Shadow apply. The vampire can also spend a point of Vitae when activating Face in the Crowd to vanish completely. Rather than being overlooked, the vampire disappears from perception of everyone around them. If the vampire attacks someone or cries out, Cloak of Night continues to obscure him, adding Obfuscate to the surprise roll. Only the struck victim can perceive the vampire. If Auspex shatters the Obfuscate, all Obfuscate powers cancel. The vampire can be tracked by indirect clues. Observers roll Wits + Resolve – Obfuscate. A vampire observer can apply the Blood Potency bonus from Kindred senses. Each roll takes one turn, and the observer must roll more successes than the vampire’s Wits + Stealth + Obfuscate.  Teamwork may be applied.

Resilience 00000
*Persistent: Add vampire’s dots to their Stamina.  Whenever dealt aggravated damage, for each dot, downgrade one point of aggravated damage to lethal. This applies to fire and banes, but not sunlight.
*Active
Cost: 1 Vitae
Action: Reflexive
-Subtract Resilience dots plus 1 from all non-bane sources of damage. Mechanically, this is similar to Armor but does not reduce the visual signs of gore and blood.
-If injury specifically removes a limb, eye or so on, the vampire doesn’t suffer logical impairments from the injury.  
-Subtract Resilience dots from all damage from fire or other acquired banes. Sunlight still is beyond this power’s protection. Any wounds still show.

Vigor 00000
*Persistent: Add vampire’s dots in Vigor to Strength. Additionally, vampire can make Strength + Athletics rolls to jump. The yards (meters) jumped are equal to successes x Vigor Dots +1.
Active
Cost: 1 Vitae
Action: Reflexive
Add dots in Vigor as a weapon bonus to all Athletics, Brawl and Weaponry attacks made this turn. This strains the weapon, making it take a point of damage for every dot of Vigor over the tool’s durability whenever they are used in this manner.
*Lift and hurl objects normally far too unwieldy to use as weapons such as boulders, cars, and people. Any object they can lift, with Size no greater than their Strength, can be used as an improvised melee or throwing weapon. Improvised weapons have a weapon bonus equal to the lower of their Size or Durability. Objects with Size greater than 5 deal lethal damage to mortals, while those with Size 10 or more deal lethal to even vampires.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- -------------

Devotions

Body of Will (Resilience 000, Vigor 0)
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Stamina + Survival + Resilience
Action: Reflexive
For one turn per success, the character suffers no wound penalties. As well, during any turn where he takes damage, he does not need to spend Vitae to activate one effect of Vigor.

Stone Skin (Vigor, Clan Gargoyle) {Custom}
Cost: None
Dicepool: None
Action: Persistent
This allows the gargoyle’s Active Resilience ability of using their Resilience rating +1 as armor for a round to be a Persistent effect that is always active without costing the gargoyle any vitae to activate.

Cost: None
Dice Pool: None
Action: Instant
Duration: Scene
People’s eyes slide off the vampire, and he’s just seen as “some guy” of average height and build. If the character is doing something that would draw attention, including but not limited to being violent, everyone in sight gets a reflexive Wits + Composure roll minus the user’s Obfuscate dots. Even the preadotry aura seemingly disappears so that other kindred can’t see it.

*Touch of Shadow 00
Cost: 1 Vitae
Requirement: Must touch the object he/she wants to hide. In the case of an unwilling victim, the vampire must roll to touch his opponent (see p. 177). The target cannot have a Size greater than the vampire’s own without penalty (-1 per increase in size).
Dice Pool: Wits + Larceny + Obfuscate
Action: Reflexive
Duration: Scene
Success: For the rest of the scene, people’s eyes slide off of the object. Since people have a hard time noticing occluded objects, the vampire can hide behind an object affected. In order to notice the occluded object, observers must succeed at a reflexive Wits + Composure check, penalized by the vampire’s Obfuscate dots (5).

*Cloak of Night 000
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
The user can now affect other people. The normal rules for piercing Touch of Shadow apply. The vampire can also spend a point of Vitae when activating Face in the Crowd to vanish completely. Rather than being overlooked, the vampire disappears from perception of everyone around them. If the vampire attacks someone or cries out, Cloak of Night continues to obscure him, adding Obfuscate to the surprise roll. Only the struck victim can perceive the vampire. If Auspex shatters the Obfuscate, all Obfuscate powers cancel. The vampire can be tracked by indirect clues. Observers roll Wits + Resolve – Obfuscate. A vampire observer can apply the Blood Potency bonus from Kindred senses. Each roll takes one turn, and the observer must roll more successes than the vampire’s Wits + Stealth + Obfuscate.  Teamwork may be applied.

The Familiar Stranger 0000
Cost: 2 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
When using Face in the Crowd or affecting a person with Touch of Shadow, the vampire can spend the Vitae required to activate this power. She can specify a particular image she wants to project, either a subject or a person (p.138).

Oubliette 00000
Cost: 3-9 Vitae and 1 Willpower
The vampire marks an area with blood, the vampire makes the marked territory a maze of illusions where they can use Touch of Shadow, Cloak of Night and the Familiar Stranger at any distance without cost. They can affect multiple different people or objects with just a single activation of this power.

Resilience 00000
*Persistent: Add vampire’s dots to their Stamina.  Whenever dealt aggravated damage, for each dot, downgrade one point of aggravated damage to lethal. This applies to fire and banes, but not sunlight.
*Active
Cost: 1 Vitae
Action: Reflexive
-Subtract Resilience dots plus 1 from all non-bane sources of damage. Mechanically, this is similar to Armor but does not reduce the visual signs of gore and blood.
-If injury specifically removes a limb, eye or so on, the vampire doesn’t suffer logical impairments from the injury.  
-Subtract Resilience dots from all damage from fire or other acquired banes. Sunlight still is beyond this power’s protection. Any wounds still show.

Vigor 00000
*Persistent: Add vampire’s dots in Vigor to Strength. Additionally, vampire can make Strength + Athletics rolls to jump. The yards (meters) jumped are equal to successes x Vigor Dots +1.
Active
Cost: 1 Vitae
Action: Reflexive
Add dots in Vigor as a weapon bonus to all Athletics, Brawl and Weaponry attacks made this turn. This strains the weapon, making it take a point of damage for every dot of Vigor over the tool’s durability whenever they are used in this manner.
*Lift and hurl objects normally far too unwieldy to use as weapons such as boulders, cars, and people. Any object they can lift, with Size no greater than their Strength, can be used as an improvised melee or throwing weapon. Improvised weapons have a weapon bonus equal to the lower of their Size or Durability. Objects with Size greater than 5 deal lethal damage to mortals, while those with Size 10 or more deal lethal to even vampires.

Devotions

Cult of Personality (Majesty 0000, Vigor 000)
Cost: 10 Vitae
Dice Pool: Presence + Socialize + Majesty
Action: Instant
If successful, this Devotion washes the effects of Loyalty over a crowd. It affects any character w/ fewer Composure + Blood Potency dots than the vampire has successes. Those afflicted gain the Enthralled Condition.

Enhancement (Majesty 0000, Obfuscate 00)
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Empathy + Majesty vs Composure + Blood Potency
Action: Contested, resistance is reflexive
If successful, this Devotion works as Loyalty, but the vampire can designate a source for the Enthralled Condition instead of focusing it on herself. All the other parameters remain the same, but the victim insists on defending and cherishing a different, person, place or thing. She has to somehow communicate the desired subject of the Enhancement to the victim for this Devotion to work.

Enfeebling Aura (Majesty 0, Resilience 0)
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Presence + Intimidation + Majesty vs. Composure + Blood Potency
Action: Contested, resistance is reflexive
If successful, this temporarily removes dots of the victim’s Celerity, Resilience and Vigor in whatever combination the user wishes. The vampire removes dots one-for-one along with her Majesty dots for the scene up to her successes as  a trade. For example she could sacrifice 3 dots of Majesty to take 2 dots of Vigor and 1 dot of Resilience away from a victim.

Summoning (Majesty 0000)
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Persuasion + Majesty vs Composure + Blood Potency
Action: Contested, resistance is reflexive
Duration: 1 night
Exceptional Success: The victim’s compulsion lasts throughout the day and for all of the next night as well, long enough for many international journeys- or at least for the victim to find a way to smuggle themselves over seas.
Modifiers
+1 Vampire knows exactly where victim is
-1 vampire has no idea where victim is, but knows they are within the same domain
-1 victim dislikes vampire and resents being summoned
-3 victim is over 500 miles away or despises the vampire
-5 victim is on the other side of the world

*Deflection of Wodden Doom 000
Target number of successes: 6
User wards themselves from having heart impaled. Al attempts to stake the user fail until the next sunrise.

*Touch of the Morrigan 000
Target number of successes: 6
User pours the consuming, tearing force of his Beat into his hands. He may attempt to strike an opponent with open palm (touching a target requires a DEX + Brawl roll in combat). The first time he does, the victim suffers the ritua’s Potency in lethal wounds. The ritual ends when it is first used, or at next sunrise, which ever comes first.

*Blood Price 0000
Target number of successes: 8
Contested by: Composure + Blood Potency
Ritualist claims blood consumed by his ritual’s subject. The subject must be a vampire or ghoul present for the casting. Every time the subject drinks blood, Vitae up to and equal to the ritual’s Potency is gained by the ritualist instead of the subject. If the subject drinks more than the ritual steals, she gains the balance. The effect of the ritual ends a the next sunrise.

*Willful Vitae 0000
Target number of successes: 7
The ritualist makes herself immune to Vinculum and blood addiction for the remainder of the night. The ritual does not counteract any addiction or Vinculum that the ritual already has.

*Blood Blight 0000
Target number of successes: 8
Contested by: Stamina + Blood Potency
User mystically destroys his victim’s blood. Mortals suffer the ritual’s Potency in lethal damage. Kindred, Strix and ghouls lose the Potency in Vitae. This usually provokes Frenzy checks.

*Feeding the Crone 0000
Target number of successes: 10
Ritualist transforms her fangs into a maw of wicked flesh tearing teeth. She gains no Vitae from feeding but her bite does +2 Aggravated Damage. This fades the next sunrise or if if she uses one Vitae to cancel it early, transforming herself back to normal.

*Blood Ward 00000
Target number of successes: 12
The Ritualist uses this to strengthen the secrecy of their Haven. Anyone attempting to use any mental, emotional or scrying powers from outside of the Haven receive the Blood Potency (5) as a penalty to the roll. A dramatic failure from the offender forces them to take the Potency of the ritual in lethal damage.

*Scourge of Intruders 00000
Target number of successes: 12
Anyone who attacks the user within their own domain suffers the Potency of the Ritual (5) in aggravated damage. This ritual only works for the first attack of each offender, but is constant so long as the Ritualist is alive (or un-alive).

*Predatory Aspect 00
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: Reflexive
Duration: Scene

Obtenebration 00000
*Night Sight
Allows the vampire to see in the dark for one scene. While the power is in effect, the vampire's pupils expand to fill their eyes from rim to rim. In extreme darkness (less than a candle's worth of light)the vampire can see any ghosts, spirits or other Twilight beings in the vicinity.

Cost: 1 Vitae

Dice Pool: No roll required


•• Shadow Play
The vampire can take control of nearby shadows. The shadows can be lightened or intensified, reshaped where they stand or even pulled from the walls and twisted into wholly unnatural shapes. The Khaibit can use this power to temporarily increase their stealth or intimidation, or to simply terrify mortals (or other supernaturals) who are not used to such otherworldly displays. Add obtentration to stealth checks.

Cost: 1 Vitae

Dice Pool: Wits + Intimidation + Obtenebration

••• Shroud of the Night
The vampire can now create darkness, either to conceal their own deeds, blind their enemies or to manipulate further through Shadow Play. The intensity of the darkness created depends on the amount of ambient light already in existence. Creating a cloud of inky blackness on an abandoned street would be comparitively easy, whereas it would be difficult to summon anything more than mood lighting in a well-lit parking garage.

Cost: 1 Vitae

Dice Pool: Intelligence + Crafts + Obtenebration

•••• Perambulum in Tenebris
The vampire can step into one shadow and emerge from another. only line of site to both shadows is necessary for the Khaibit to travel between them, meaning that vast distances can be covered very quickly. Suffice to say, the potential of this power for both escape and ambush has doubtless been responsable for many Khaibit victories.

Cost: 1 Vitae

Dice Pool: No roll required

•••••Shadow Form
The vampire can now transform into pure darkness. While in this form they are nigh-invulnerable, unable to be harmed by anything other than sunlight or certain magics. even fire cannot touch them. the vampire can also slip through any gap more than a few molecules wide, though like a normal shadow they must 'stick' to a wall or surface. An exceptional success on the activation roll allows the Khaibit to overcome this, as they can transform into a 3-dimensional column of living, fluid darkness. If the vampire is in an area so brightly lit that shadows can not exist, then they are unable to take on the Shadow Form.

ALTERNATE Staff Fighting (Style, • to •••••)
Tags: Pole Arms
Prerequisites: Strength 00, Dexterity 00, Athletics 00, Weaponry 00
Effect: After beating someone with your fists, the next oldest form of combat is beating on someone with a stick. While this originally lacked a certain elegance, techniques evolved over the years to make individuals trained in wielding a staff truly ferocious fighters. It is said that a classically-trained swordsman stands no chance against an individual with equal prowess in the staff.

Reach • – The first thing any practitioner of the staff learns is that it is a reach weapon. This reach allows the practitioner to keep opponents at bay while maintaining an offensive front. Most staff weapons already offer a +1 to defense against unarmed targets, or targets wielding weapons of size 1. For a practitioner of Staff Fighting, double the defense offered by the polearm for wielding it.

Feint •• – Most staff-type weapons are considered “double weapons” in that you can attack with either end of the stick. This versatility can be used to take advantage of an opponent wielding a single weapon. Make an attack against an unarmed opponent or an opponent using a single weapon. If that attack is successful, it does no damage. On the next turn, the opponent is denied her defense against your attack.

Sweep the Leg ••• – When someone hits the ground in melee combat, the fight is generally over very quickly thereafter as combat degrades into beating a cowering victim. Staff practitioners know this well and there are numerous techniques for getting your opponent on the ground and beating him to a pulp. Whenever the practitioner of this Style is wielding a polearm, she may spend 1 Willpower to grant the weapon the “Knock Down” special effect as described in the Knocked Down tilt.

Vortex •••• – Walking into the range of attack of a skilled staff wielder is a dangerous proposition. As soon as one end of the weapon passes you, the other is bound to follow close behind in a whirling vortex of doom. Closing distance is ill advised. As long as the practitioner has her defense and she is not dodging, any characters coming within the staff's reach take 1 Lethal damage. The character may spend 1 Willpower to double this to 2 Lethal.

Parry and Riposte ••••• – As stated before, the staff is a double weapon, making a truly skilled practitioner a master of exploiting that fact to the painful detriment of her opponents. This is the true reason a swordsman fears a staff wielder. After a single swing of the sword, the sword is knocked askew. A swordsman has no time to recover before that second end of the staff comes around with full force. With this level of mastery, a character may take a dodge action. If she successfully dodges, immediately make a counter-attack against the attacking opponent. Parry and Riposte can only be used once per turn.

Cheap Shot (••) Prerequisites: Street Fighting •••, Subterfuge ••
Effect: Your character is a master at the bait and switch. She can look off in an odd direction and prompt her opponent to do the same, or she might step on his toes to distract him. She fights dirty. Make a Dexterity + Subterfuge roll as a reflexive action. The opponent’s player contests with Wits + Composure. If you score more successes, the opponent loses his Defense for the next turn. Each time a character uses this maneuver in a scene, it levies a cumulative -2 penalty to further uses since the opposition gets used to the tricks.

Heavy Weapons (• to •••••; Style)
Prerequisites: Stamina •••, Strength •••, Athletics ••, Weaponry ••
Effect: Your character is trained with heavy weapons which require strength, wide range, and follow through more than direct speed and accuracy. This Style may be used with a two-handed weapon such as a claymore, chainsaw, pike, or an uprooted street sign.

Sure Strike (•): Your character doesn’t always hit the hardest or the most frequently, but she guarantees a deadly strike when she does hit. You can reflexively remove three dice from any attack dice pool (to a minimum of zero) to add one to your character’s weapon damage rating for the turn. These dice must be removed after calculating any penalties from the environment or the opponent’s Defense.

Threat Range (••): Your character’s weapon is immense and keeps opponents at bay. If you opt not to move or Dodge during your turn, any character moving into your character’s proximity suffers one lethal damage and a penalty to their Defense equal to your character’s weapon damage rating. This penalty only lasts for one turn. This cannot be used in a turn the character is Dodging.

Bring the Pain (•••): Your character’s strikes stun and incapacitate as well as causing massive trauma to the body. Sacrifice your character’s Defense to use Bring the Pain. Make a standard attack roll. Any damage you score with Bring the Pain counts as a penalty to all actions the victim takes during their next turn. So, if you cause four lethal damage, the opponent is at -4 on their next attack.

Warding Stance (••••): Your character holds her weapon in such a way as to make attacks much harder. If her weapon’s drawn, spend a point of Willpower reflexively to add her weapon’s damage rating as armor for the turn. This will not protect against firearms.

Rending (•••••): Your character’s cuts leave crippling, permanent wounds. By spending a Willpower point before making an attack roll, her successful attacks cause one level of aggravated damage in addition to her weapon’s damage rating. This Willpower point does not add to the attack roll

Street Fighting (• to •••••; Style)
Prerequisites: Stamina •••, Composure •••, Brawl ••, Streetwise ••
Effect: Your character learned to fight on the mean streets. She may have had some degree of formal training, but the methodology came from the real world, in dangerous circumstances. Street Fighting isn’t about form and grace, it’s about staying alive. These maneuvers may only be used unarmed, or with weapons capable of using the Brawl Skill, such as punch daggers, or weapons concealed with the Shiv Merit (above).

Duck and Weave (•): Your character has been beaten all to hell more than a few times. Now she dodges on instinct, not on skill. You can reflexively take a one-die penalty to any actions this turn to use the higher of her Wits or Dexterity to calculate Defense. If you’ve already made a roll without penalty this turn, you cannot use Duck and Weave.
Knocking the Wind Out (••): Shots to the center mass can shake an opponent, and your character knows this well. When your character makes a successful unarmed attack, the opponent suffers a -1 to his next roll.  

Kick ‘Em While They’re Down (•••): The best enemy is one on the ground. Your character topples opponents, and keeps them down. Any time your successes on an attack roll exceed an opponent’s Stamina, you may choose to apply the Knocked Down Tilt (p. 285). Additionally, any time your character is close enough to strike when an opponent attempts to get up from a prone position, she can reflexively cause two bashing damage.

One-Two Punch (••••): Your character hits fast, and she follows through with every hit. Whenever she makes a successful attack, you can spend a point of Willpower to cause two extra points of bashing damage.

Last-Ditch Effort (•••••): In a street fight, every second could mean the loss of your life. A proficient street fighter is a remarkable survivalist. She bites, headbutts, trips, or does whatever it takes to prevent that last hit. Any time a character with this level of Street Fighting is about to take a hit or get overpowered when she’s already suffering wound penalties, she can reflexively spend a Willpower point and sacrifice her Defense for the turn to make an attack against her would-be assailant. This can occur even if she’s already acted in a turn, so long as she’s not already spent Willpower. Resolve this attack before the opponent’s action.

Inspiring (•••)
Prerequisite: Presence •••
Effect: Your character’s passion inspires those around her to greatness. With a few words, she can redouble a group’s confidence or move them to action. Make a Presence + Expression roll. A small group of listeners levies a -1 penalty, a small crowd a -2, and a large crowd a -3. Listeners gain the Inspired Condition. The character may not use this Merit on herself.

Cheap Shot (••)
Prerequisites: Street Fighting •••, Subterfuge ••
Effect: Your character is a master at the bait and switch. She can look off in an odd direction and prompt her opponent to do the same, or she might step on his toes to distract him. She fights dirty. Make a Dexterity + Subterfuge roll as a reflexive action. The opponent’s player contests with Wits + Composure. If you score more successes, the opponent loses his Defense for the next turn. Each time a character uses this maneuver in a scene, it levies a cumulative -2 penalty to further uses since the opposition gets used to the tricks.

DISCIPLINES

Animalism 1
Feral Whispers
To those she would command, a vampire must first make herself understood. So it is with beasts as well as men. A vampire using Feral Whispers overpowers the animal’s instinctive reactions and forces it to understand. She can ask questions of a creature and it must respond as best it can, and with a further slight nudge, she can compel it to obey her. A canny vampire can use magpies and crows to spy on her victims from above, or command a gangster’s mastiffs to savage their owner. The vampire talks to the animal, either using human words or, much more frequently, by making animal sounds of her own. She can command groups of animals, such as a flock of birds or a swarm of rats, as long as she is close enough that the animals can all hear her, and she can see all of them.

Cost: None
Dice Pool:  1 Manipulation + 3 Animal Ken + 1 Animalism =5 Dice for Sven
Action: Instant
Duration: Scene, command can persist up to a night.

Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The animal misunderstands the vampire’s command, giving false information when the vampire asks, or obeying a twisted version of the vampire’s command.
Failure: The animals fear the Beast, fleeing from a superior predator.
Success: The vampire can communicate with an animal, asking it what it has perceived. Most animals can remember what has happened over the last night. Animals relate what they have encountered through the lens of their own perceptions dogs answer in terms of smell and hearing, while birds relate what they could see. The vampire can also give the victim a simple command, equivalent to what the animal could do on its own, such as “attack him,” “follow her then return here,” “chew through these cables.” The command doesn’t normally persist for more than a night, but the vampire can add simple contingencies such as forcing the beast to go to ground if noticed, or to return once the command is complete.
Exceptional Success: The animal is exceptionally obedient to the vampire, improvising to follow the spirit of the Kindred’s command.



Dominate 1
Mesmerize
All a vampire has to do is meet her victim’s eye to catch him in her thrall. Her control isn’t obvious; she just asks him to do something and her victim acquiesces. He could unlock a door, pass her a gun or forget ever meeting her. Some cruel vampires mesmerize passers-by just to take the rap for their crimes.
Cost: None
Dice Pool: 2 Intelligence + 1 Expression +  1Dominate = 4 Dice Sven VS Resolve + Blood Potency
Action: Instant

Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The victim sees through the vampire’s attempt to control his mind; emboldened, he gains the Steadfast Condition (p. 306).
Failure: The vampire’s victim proves stronger-willed than she’d thought.
Success: The vampire holds her victim’s gaze for just a second, but it’s enough to inflict the Mesmerized Condition (p. 305).
Exceptional Success: The vampire’s control flows over the victim’s brain like water. They want to do whatever the vampire says. The vampire can issue a command in the same action as mesmerizing the victim.

Once she has inflicted the Mesmerized Condition, the vampire can command the victim as an instant action. Her commands can’t be longer than three or four words, and she has to be direct  her control doesn’t extend to issuing vague commands. “Follow me,” “Shoot your husband,” and “Repeat after me…” are all suitable commands, while “Forget,” “Submit,” and “Do my bidding” have too much room for interpretation. She can even mess with the victim’s memory, making one statement about the current scene that victim will remember as truth. While she can still only use simple and unambiguous commands, she can pack a lot of changes into four words: “You killed that man” and “I was not here” combine to frame the victim for murder.





           Resilience 1
The Kindred are walking corpses, free of the frailties of a mortal form. Their bodies are capable of great endurance, but Resilience harnesses the Beast to take that endurance beyond “great” and into “impossible.” With Resilience a vampire could continue to act even when his body has been reduced to little more than bone and tendon.

Cost: None or 1 Vitae per effect
Dice Pool: None
Action: None (for persistent effects) or Reflexive (for active effects)
Duration: Permanent (for persistent effects) or one turn (for active effects)
Like other physical Disciplines, Resilience has two kinds of effects: persistent and active. Persistent effects are always on, and have no cost. Active effects are Reflexive, and cost one Vitae per effect. Persistent: Add the vampire’s dots in Resilience to his Stamina. This may raise a character’s Stamina above the normal limits imposed by his Blood Potency. Whenever he is dealt aggravated damage, for each dot of Resilience he possesses, downgrade one point of aggravated damage to lethal. This applies to damage from fire and all acquired banes, but not sunlight. Resilience offers no reprieve from the sun’s blazing eye.

Active: By spending Vitae a vampire can dismiss grievous wounds, even those from banes. For each point of Vitae spent, choose one effect from the following list. A vampire may spend additional Vitae to invoke multiple effects simultaneously, but no effect of Resilience may be used more than once per turn.

• Subtract his Resilience dots plus one from all non-bane sources of damage. Mechanically this is similar to armor, but does nothing to reduce the visual and superficial signs of injury. Removed damage appears to be dealt, but resisted wounds do not inhibit the vampire physically in any way, though in a social context they likely create some difficulties. All superficial wounds may be healed completely for one Vitae whenever he next slumbers. If an injury specifically removes a limb, an eye, or so on, the vampire does suffer logical impairments from the injuries. This method of reducing damage does make it more difficult to stake a vampire.

• Subtract his Resilience dots from all damage from fire or other acquired banes. Sunlight still remains beyond the power of Resilience to defend against. All superficial signs of damage remain: Even if a vampire lost no Health while dashing through an inferno, he still emerges a burnt corpse. In this case, however, the visible damage is only as severe as it would be for a mortal who’d suffered the same level of harm

WEAKNESS
Blinded in One Eye
Personal Description: The character’s eyes are damaged or removed.
Effect: The character suffers a -3 penalty to any rolls that rely on vision including attack rolls  and halves his Defense if one eye is blinded. That penalty increases to -5 and loss of all Defense if both eyes are affected. Causing the Tilt: The normal way to inflict the Tilt is to deal damage to the target’s eyes, a specified attack with a -5 penalty (see Specified Targets, p. 92). A successful attack normally damages one eye. It takes an exceptional success to totally blind an attacker. An attacker can inflict temporary blindness by slashing at her opponent’s brow, throwing sand into his eyes, or kicking up dirt. This requires an attack roll of Dexterity + Athletics with a -3 penalty, and the victim’s Defense applies to this attack. If it succeeds, the target is Blinded for the next turn.

Obfuscate 00000
*Face in the Crowd 0
Cost: None
Dice Pool: None
Action: Instant
Duration: Scene
People’s eyes slide off the vampire, and he’s just seen as “some guy” of average height and build. If the character is doing something that would draw attention, including but not limited to being violent, everyone in sight gets a reflexive Wits + Composure roll minus the user’s Obfuscate dots. Even the preadotry aura seemingly disappears so that other kindred can’t see it.

*Touch of Shadow 00
Cost: 1 Vitae
Requirement: Must touch the object he/she wants to hide. In the case of an unwilling victim, the vampire must roll to touch his opponent (see p. 177). The target cannot have a Size greater than the vampire’s own without penalty (-1 per increase in size).
Dice Pool: Wits + Larceny + Obfuscate
Action: Reflexive
Duration: Scene
Success: For the rest of the scene, people’s eyes slide off of the object. Since people have a hard time noticing occluded objects, the vampire can hide behind an object affected. In order to notice the occluded object, observers must succeed at a reflexive Wits + Composure check, penalized by the vampire’s Obfuscate dots (5).

*Cloak of Night 000
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
The user can now affect other people. The normal rules for piercing Touch of Shadow apply. The vampire can also spend a point of Vitae when activating Face in the Crowd to vanish completely. Rather than being overlooked, the vampire disappears from perception of everyone around them. If the vampire attacks someone or cries out, Cloak of Night continues to obscure him, adding Obfuscate to the surprise roll. Only the struck victim can perceive the vampire. If Auspex shatters the Obfuscate, all Obfuscate powers cancel. The vampire can be tracked by indirect clues. Observers roll Wits + Resolve – Obfuscate. A vampire observer can apply the Blood Potency bonus from Kindred senses. Each roll takes one turn, and the observer must roll more successes than the vampire’s Wits + Stealth + Obfuscate.  Teamwork may be applied.

The Familiar Stranger 0000
Cost: 2 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
When using Face in the Crowd or affecting a person with Touch of Shadow, the vampire can spend the Vitae required to activate this power. She can specify a particular image she wants to project, either a subject or a person (p.138).

Oubliette 00000
Cost: 3-9 Vitae and 1 Willpower
The vampire marks an area with blood, the vampire makes the marked territory a maze of illusions where they can use Touch of Shadow, Cloak of Night and the Familiar Stranger at any distance without cost. They can affect multiple different people or objects with just a single activation of this power.

Resilience 00000
*Persistent: Add vampire’s dots to their Stamina.  Whenever dealt aggravated damage, for each dot, downgrade one point of aggravated damage to lethal. This applies to fire and banes, but not sunlight.
*Active
Cost: 1 Vitae
Action: Reflexive
-Subtract Resilience dots plus 1 from all non-bane sources of damage. Mechanically, this is similar to Armor but does not reduce the visual signs of gore and blood.
-If injury specifically removes a limb, eye or so on, the vampire doesn’t suffer logical impairments from the injury.  
-Subtract Resilience dots from all damage from fire or other acquired banes. Sunlight still is beyond this power’s protection. Any wounds still show.

Vigor 00000
*Persistent: Add vampire’s dots in Vigor to Strength. Additionally, vampire can make Strength + Athletics rolls to jump. The yards (meters) jumped are equal to successes x Vigor Dots +1.
Active
Cost: 1 Vitae
Action: Reflexive
Add dots in Vigor as a weapon bonus to all Athletics, Brawl and Weaponry attacks made this turn. This strains the weapon, making it take a point of damage for every dot of Vigor over the tool’s durability whenever they are used in this manner.
*Lift and hurl objects normally far too unwieldy to use as weapons such as boulders, cars, and people. Any object they can lift, with Size no greater than their Strength, can be used as an improvised melee or throwing weapon. Improvised weapons have a weapon bonus equal to the lower of their Size or Durability. Objects with Size greater than 5 deal lethal damage to mortals, while those with Size 10 or more deal lethal to even vampires.

Contested by: Resolve + Blood Potency
Sacrament: A scrap of paper with victim's name written on it. If the person who owns the name is 1 mile away. If the victim suffers bashing damage, instead upgrade it to lethal.

Sacrament: a lock of victim's hair

Stigmata 0000
Target number of successes: 5
Resisted by: Stamina
Sacrament: A Crucifix
The ritualist curses his victim, who must be present, with the wounds of Christ. The Stigmata last for the ritual's Potency in turns (5). Mortals suffer 1 point of lethal per turn from blood loss.

Target number of successes: 8
Contested by: Stamina + Blood Potency
Sacrament: a drop of liquid gold

Disciplines
Resilience 00000
*Persistent: Add vampire’s dots to their Stamina. Whenever dealt aggravated damage, for each dot, downgrade one point of aggravated damage to lethal. This applies to fire and banes, but not sunlight.
*Active
Cost: 1 Vitae
Action: Reflexive
-Subtract Resilience dots plus 1 from all non-bane sources of damage. Mechanically, this is similar to Armor but does not reduce the visual signs of gore and blood.
-If injury specifically removes a limb, eye or so on, the vampire doesn’t suffer logical impairments from the injury.
-Subtract Resilience dots from all damage from fire or other acquired banes. Sunlight still is beyond this power’s protection. Any wounds still show.


*Persistent: Add Celerity to Defense or Dodge roll when defending actively (even w/ firearms)
*Active
Cost: 1 Vitae
-Allow burst of speed that allows user to move to the head of initiative (1 turn)
-Can interrupt the action of another character with a brief action of their own (instant action only)

Merits
Native Tongue, French
Languages, English: 00


Status, Invictus 000
Status, Clan: 00

Unsettling Gaze 0 (Nosferatu)
Effect: When evoking the monstrous Beast (p. 91) the target is vulnerable. Any time the Nosferatu infects a victim with the “Bestial Condition” and scores an exceptional success, they also force a breaking point if the victim has a higher Humanity (or Integrity) than the user’s.

Riding the Wave 00000
*Ravage 0
While riding the wave, teeth become 1L weapons in bite attacks.
*Primal Strength 00
When lifting, jumping or destroying objects as an instant action, double the Strength bonus acquired while in frenzy.
*In the Zone 000
When attempting to leash the Beast and ride the wave, your character still operates at peak efficiency. They still have to spend Willpower points in order to make rolls to ride the wave, but those Willpower points also give +3 bonus to any action taken this turn.
*Unyielding 0000
Character recovers any Willpower spent to activate the Wave.
*Animal Grace 00000
When spending Willpower to attack or defend, gain +2 to Defense and +3 die bonus to attack rolls.

Kindred Dueling 00000
*Hamstring: 0
With a well-placed tendon strike, you can briefly cripple a vampire’s ability to augment their physical prowess with Vitae. By targeting a limb (and taking -2 for doing so), your successful strike denies that limb from the benefits of “Physical Intensity” (p 91) for a turn.

*Taunt: 00
You know the way the Beast works, and how to taunt it with shallow swipes. Before you roll, remove a number of dice from your pool no greater than your Weaponry Dots. Make your roll. If the attack succeeds, the victim must roll to resist frenzy with a penalty equal to the number of dice you removed.

*Carving: 000
When you strike, you curve the blade hard to pull flesh apart, making it harder to heal. When Carving, your weapon’s damage rating deals lethal to Kindred instead of bashing.

*Pincushion: 0000
You hit deep, intending to lodge your weapon in a victim. If you choose to leave your weapon in the victim on a successful strike, the victim cannot heal the wound with Viate. You may remove it as a reflexive action. If anyone else wishes to remove it, they can attempt a Strength + Stamina roll, minus the damage caused as an instant action.

*Spray: 00000
You cut mass from the body, pouring blood. Sacrafice your defense for the turn to use this maneuver. On a successful attack roll, you can choose to remove Vitae from your opponent instead of Health levels. You can divide the Health levels of damage and Vitae in any combination after the roll.

*Area of Expertise: Swords (Resolve 00, one Skill Specialty)
You gain +2 for the specialization instead of +1

*Profession: Knight
9-again for Weaponry and Athletics
----------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Disciplines

Obfuscate 00000

*Face in the Crowd 0
Cost: None
Dice Pool: None
Action: Instant
Duration: Scene
People’s eyes slide off the vampire, and he’s just seen as “some guy” of average height and build. If the character is doing something that would draw attention, including but not limited to being violent, everyone in sight gets a reflexive Wits + Composure roll minus the user’s Obfuscate dots. Even the preadotry aura seemingly disappears so that other kindred can’t see it.

*Touch of Shadow 00
Cost: 1 Vitae
Requirement: Must touch the object he/she wants to hide. In the case of an unwilling victim, the vampire must roll to touch his opponent (see p. 177). The target cannot have a Size greater than the vampire’s own without penalty (-1 per increase in size).
Dice Pool: Wits + Larceny + Obfuscate
Action: Reflexive
Duration: Scene
Success: For the rest of the scene, people’s eyes slide off of the object. Since people have a hard time noticing occluded objects, the vampire can hide behind an object affected. In order to notice the occluded object, observers must succeed at a reflexive Wits + Composure check, penalized by the vampire’s Obfuscate dots (5).

*Cloak of Night 000
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
The user an now affect other people. The normal rules for piercing Touch of Shadow apply. The vampire can also spend a point of Vitae when activating Face in the Crowd to vanish completely. Rather than being overlooked, the vampire disappears from perception of everyone around them. If the vampire attacks someone or cires out, Cloak of Night continues to obscure him, adding Obfuscate to the surprise roll. Only the struck victim can perceive the vampire. If Auspex shatters the Obfuscate, all Obfuscate powers cancel. The vampire can be tracked by indirect clues. Observers roll Wits + Resolve – Obfuscate. A vampire observer can apply the Blood Potency bonus from Kindred senses. Each roll takes one turn, and the observer must roll more successes than the vampire’s Wits + Stealth + Obfuscate. Teamwork may be applied.

*The Familiar Stranger 0000
Cost: 2 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
Effect: Vampire must be using Face in the Crowd or Touch of Shadow. They spend Vitae and can specify a particular image that they want to project, either a subjective category or a specific person. If taking the form of a specific person, everyone sees/hears what they would expect when the person was present.

Oubliette 00000
Cost: 3-9 Vitae and 1 Willpower
Requirement: Vampire must spread Vitae around the area he wishes to claim, marking gateways, exits and landmarks. 3 Vitae is enough to secure an apartment or small house, six can work for an alleyway and nine works for a mansion size. After spreading the blookd, he must slumber for a full day in the location.
Dice Pool: None
Action: Instant
Duration: 1 week per dot of Blood Potency
Effect: User can use any of his Obfuscate powers in the building with one roll, and Cloak of Night/Familiar Stranger do not cost extra. The vampire can affect any individual aspect, making them look different (making doors disappear, ghouls look like old friends). Someone interacting with elments of an Oubliette can see their true natures, but only for a few seconds. Since the Oubliette can cover a large area, and can change in the blink of an eye, most people shrug off minor changes as just a trick of the light. Oubliette lasts for one week per dot of Blood Potency, but can be reinforced before it ends.

Nightmare 00000

*Dread Presence
Cost: None
Dice Pool: None
Action: Instant
Duration: Scene
The vampire exudes an aura of fear for the scene. They add their Nightmare dots to all mundane Intimidation rolls. Victims can act against them, but their hearts aren’t in it- they can’t spend Willpower to bolster their actions, though they can still use it defensively. A vampire can lash out against this aura of fear with predatory aura (Lashing Out p. 92). If they succeed, they aren’t affected by Dread Presence. As a reflexive action, the vampire can conjure brief illusions. One person’s food looks rotten and maggot-ridden, the other sees a steak-knife as a head on a plate. These illusions can affect two senses each.

*Face of the Beast 00
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Presence + Empathy + Nightmare vs. Composure + Blood Potency
Action: Contested, Resistance is reflexive
Success: Victim gains the Frightened Condition (p. 303). If the vampire activates Dread Presence, they can designate themselves as the source of the victim’s fear.

*The Grand Delusion 000
Cost: 2 Vitae
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Empathy + Nightmare vs. Composure + Blood Potency
Action: Contested, resistance is reflexive
Duration: 1 night
Success: All it takes is a few words and the victim suffers the Delusional Condition (p. 302) for the rest of the scene, her false belief being whatever she wanted the victim to believe. The vampire defines his beliefs, but can’t control the reaction, nor can they inspire a delusion that would make the victim homicidal or self-destructive.

*Waking Nightmare 0000
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Presence + Empathy + Nightmare vs. highest Composure + Blood Potency in group
Action: Contested, resistance is reflexive
Duration: Scene
Success: The vampire inflicts a single hallucination- a change or addition to what is currently present in the scene- on her victims. The hallucination lasts for a scene.

*Mortal Terror 00000
Cost: 1 Vitae and 1 Willpower
Dicepool: Presence + Intimidation + Nightmare – victim’s Composure
Condition: The vampire needs to have inflicted the Frightened or Delusional Conditions on their victim.
Action: Instant
Success: The fear reaction tears through the victim. They suffer one point of lethal damage per success. If they survive, they bear a permanent mark of coming through the fear- a nervous twitch, sudden streak of white hair. They also take the Broken Condition (p.301). If the vampire activates Dread Presence, the victim also loses one point of Composure per success; these lost dots heal at the same rate as lethal damage.

Vigor 0000
*Persistent: Add vampire’s dots in Vigor to Strength. Additionally, vampire can make Strength + Athletics rolls to jump. The yards (meters) jumped are equal to successes x Vigor Dots +1.
Active (1 Vitae): Add dots in Vigor as a weapon bonus to all Athletics, Brawl and Weaponry attacks made this turn. This strains the weapon, making it take a point of damage for every dot of Vigor over the tool’s durability whenever they are used in this manner.
*Lift and hurl objects normally far too unwieldy to use as weapons such as boulders, cars, and people. Any object they can lift, with Size no greater than their Strength, can be used as an improvised melee or throwing weapon. Improvised weapons have a weapon bonus equal to the lower of their Size or Durability. Objects with Size greater than 5 deal lethal damage to mortals, while those with Size 10 or more deal lethal to even vampires.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- -------------

Devotions

*Cloak the Gathering (Obfuscate 00000)
Cost: 2 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
Cloak of Gathering enhances the effect of Touch of Shadow and Cloak of Night. By spending the 2 extra Vitae, the vampire can expand the effect of Touch of Shadow to encompass a number of people equal to his Blood Potency, though they are subject to the normal Size modifiers. He can also activate Face in the Crowd at the same time. If he pays the extra cost for Cloak of Night to vanish completely rather than fade in the background, the effect applies to everyone masked by Cloak of Gathering. So for 4 points, people vanish from sight along with a number of people equal to their Blood Potency. The vampire doesn’t have to touch everyone he takes with him, but they msut be within his Obfuscate + Blood Potency in yards/meters.

*Wraith’s Presence (Obfuscate 000, Nightmare 0)
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dicepool: Wits + Subterfuge + Obfuscate
Action: Instant
Activate this when using Cloak of Night. The vampire projects an exact image of the desired subject in another place she can see. The image stays mostly still unless the vampire concentrates on moving it. It’ll make the necessary motions to appear realistic- for example a human will breath. The image cannot talk or make noises. The image vanishes as soon as anyone touches it. Breaking this effect without touching the phantom uses the normal Clash of Wills rules (see p. 125).

CRUAC RITUALS

Pangs of Proserpina (•)
Target number of successes: 6 Contested: by Composure + Blood Potency The victim suffers feelings of intense hunger, provoking frenzy in Kindred. The victim may be up to a mile away from the ritual during casting, and is starving for the purposes of the roll to resist frenzy, regardless of how much blood she has consumed.

Rigor Mortis (•)
Target number of successes: 5 Resisted: by Composure The victim, who must be a vampire within a mile of the ritual, suffers the loss of the reanimating power of Vitae. His next physical action is penalized by a –3 die penalty.

Cheval (••)
Target number of successes: 5 Resisted: by Composure The subject of this ritual must be present at the casting, being physically touched by the ritualist. For the rest of the night, the ritualist may see and hear what the subject does, no matter how far away she is.


The Hydra’s Vitae (••)
Target number of successes: 5 The ritualist lays a curse on his own blood, transforming it into poison. Vampires and Strix drinking from the ritualist suffer one point of lethal damage per Vitae taken and gain no nourishment from it. Mortals and ghouls drinking from the ritualist suffer two points of lethal damage. Blood is only venomous as long as it’s in the ritualist’s system, and the effect ends at the next sunrise.
Target number of successes: 6 The ritualist wards himself from having his heart impaled. All attempts to stake the ritualist fail until the next sunrise

Touch of the Morrigan (•••)
Target number of successes: 6 The ritualist pours the consuming, tearing force of his Beast into his hands. He may attempt to strike an opponent with his open palm (Touching a Target requires a Dexterity + Brawl roll in combat). The first time he does so, the victim suffers the ritual’s Potency in lethal wounds. The ritual ends when it is first used, or at the next sunrise, whichever is sooner.

Pledge to the Worthless One (•••)
Target number of successes: 8
Sacrament: A person content with his life
This ritual is considered heretical to all mainstream Lancea et Sanctum and Circle of the Crone creeds. It calls on the force of the devil Belial  the Worthless one  to gift upon a vampire his dark blessings. The subject of this ritual swears herself to Belial, and slays the sacramental mortal. She must consent to its effects for the ritual to take effect, but once it’s taken effect, it cannot be ended by any known practice. Part of the oath requires the vampire pledge her immortal soul after her Final Death. This is largely academic, as no vampire knows what happens to a vampire after the Requiem’s end. The pledge affords a number of effects:
• The subject chooses one of the seven deadly sins with which to ally; greed, pride, wrath, sloth, gluttony, envy, or lust. From that point forward, every Vitae she draws from a mortal in the throes of that sin is doubled. Characters not exhibiting those sins provide her half the nourishment; she takes only one from each two Vitae drawn.
• She gains the advantages of frenzy at all times, even while completely lucid.
• She cannot maintain a Touchstone.
• She exhibits one physical sign of damnation. This may manifest as cloven hooves, a third nipple, or any other classic sign of diabolism.
• She gains a familiar. This is a demon in an animal’s flesh. It counts as a five dot Retainer, with three dots of Disciplines. She can see through its eyes, and speak through its mouth.
• Any member of the Lancea et Sanctum is honor-bound to destroy her if her pledge is uncovered.


Devotions
Cult of Personality (Majesty ••••, Vigor •••)
Under normal circumstances, Loyalty inflicts a deep, overbearing sense of obedience on a single victim. With this Devotion, the vampire broadcasts her charm and overwhelms all in her presence. All but the strongest fall in line and worship her.
Cost: 10 Vitae
Dice Pool: Presence + Socialize + Majesty
Action: Instant If successful, this Devotion washes the effects of Loyalty over the crowd. It affects any character with fewer Composure + Blood Potency dots than the vampire has successes. Those afflicted gain the Enthralled Condition.

Enchantment (Majesty ••••, Obfuscate ••)
Majesty is a gift that draws attention and bends feelings toward the vampire. With this Devotion, and a bit of Obfuscate, the vampire can deflect those feelings to another person, or to a place or thing.
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Empathy + Majesty vs. Composure + Blood Potency
Action: Contested; resistance is reflexive
If successful, this Devotion works as Loyalty, but the vampire can designate a source for the Enthralled Condition instead of focusing it on herself. All the other parameters remain the same, but the victim insists on defending and cherishing a different person, place, or thing. She has to somehow communicate the desired subject of the Enchantment to the victim for this Devotion to work.

Enfeebling Aura (Majesty •, Resilience •)
Many Daeva masters of Celerity and Vigor claim that Majesty means nothing when you’re staring down a skull-crushing fist. This Devotion seeks to disprove that notion. It brings forth the vampire’s supernatural presence not to awe a crowd, but to cow and enfeeble a victim. While it won’t completely stop an assailant, it will even the playing field in a tussle.
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Presence + Intimidation + Majesty vs. Composure + Blood Potency
Action: Contested; resistance is reflexive
If successful, this Devotion temporarily removes dots of the victim’s Celerity, Resilience, and Vigor, in whatever combination the vampire wishes. The vampire removes dots one-for-one along with her Majesty dots for the scene, up to her successes. For example, she can sacrifice three dots of her Majesty, losing access to them for the scene, to remove two dots of Vigor and one dot of Resilience from her victim for the scene.

Wet Dream (Majesty ••, Nightmare ••)
This Devotion blends the more subconscious effects of Majesty and Nightmare to plague the victim’s sleep. His dreams leave him both feeling dirty, and wanting more.
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Empathy + Majesty,  vs. Composure + Blood Potency
Action: Contested; resistance is reflexive
If successful, this Devotion takes effect when next the victim sleeps. His frightening and arousing dreams cause the both the Spooked  and Swooning Conditions (see p. 305 and p. 306). The vampire chooses the subject of both Conditions. The victim sheds each Condition individually. However, the two Conditions only give one Beat, and only once they’re both resolved

The Wish (Celerity ••, Majesty ••••, Vigor ••)
“For three nights, you’ll be fast, you’ll be strong, you’ll be beautiful, and you’ll stand above the flock. After that, you’re mine. Do you understand?” This classic Daeva Devotion is a common fixture of the Serpent’s Embrace. The vampire finds someone she wishes to exalt, then makes him an offer for temporary supremacy. He gets a taste of power, and wants more. At the end of the deal, the victim becomes irrevocably attached to the vampire. It requires a great deal of Vitae to enact, but creates a loyal supplicant. This Devotion can only be used once on a given character, and only on mortals.
Cost: 5 Vitae
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Persuasion + Majesty
Action: Instant
To use this Devotion, the victim must agree to the terms; three nights of power, but he will belong to the vampire afterward. The terms can be that vague, but must be stated and agreed to, without any supernatural coercion. The victim must feed from the vampire as part of the agreement. When the deal is struck, the victim gains a number of advantages for three nights:

• He gains two levels of Celerity and Vigor. He can activate them by spending Willpower instead of Vitae.

• He gains three levels of Majesty. He can activate these with Willpower instead of Vitae. • He needs no sleep, and can go without food and water without issue.

At the end of the period, he gains the Persistent Enthralled Condition. It persists indefinitely.

Jacques LeVale

Clan: Ventrue
Concept: Former Captain of the Guard
The LeVale Family has a history service within the Paris Guard, a History marked with excellence. Jacques LeVale joined the City watch and set to work at climbing the ranks by means of political maneuvering, finger pointing, credit stealing, and every other imaginable underhanded tactic short of actually doing his sworn duty. When the Invictus of Paris decided to swell the ranks of their Archons with some some Neonates, Jacques LeVale's service record read as if he was the ideal candidate to lead the group. Since his Embrace Jacques has enjoyed his new found powers and he has every intention of using his position as a leader among  Archons to further his career within the Invictus by taking all the credit for whatever the group does right, and blame shifting any failures upon the other members of the group.

Dominate: 1
Mesmerize • All a vampire has to do is meet her victim’s eye to catch him in her thrall. Her control isn’t obvious; she just asks him to do something and her victim acquiesces. He could unlock a door, pass her a gun or forget ever meeting her. Some cruel vampires mesmerize passers-by just to take the rap for their crimes.
Cost: None
Dice Pool: Intelligence + Expression + Dominate vs. Resolve + Blood Potency
Action: Instant
Dramatic Failure: The victim sees through the vampire’s attempt to control his mind; emboldened, he gains the Steadfast Condition (p. 306).
Failure: The vampire’s victim proves stronger-willed than she’d thought.
Success: The vampire holds her victim’s gaze for just a second, but it’s enough to inflict the Mesmerized Condition (p. 305).
Exceptional Success: The vampire’s control flows over the victim’s brain like water. They want to do whatever the vampire says. The vampire can issue a command in the same action as mesmerizing the victim. Once she has inflicted the Mesmerized Condition, the vampire can command the victim as an instant action. Her commands can’t be longer than three or four words, and she has to be direct her control doesn’t extend to issuing vague commands. “Follow me,” “Shoot your husband,” and “Repeat after me…” are all suitable commands, while “Forget,” “Submit,” and “Do my bidding” have too much room for interpretation. She can even mess with the victim’s memory, making one statement about the current scene that victim will remember as truth. While she can still only use simple and unambiguous commands, she can pack a lot of changes into four words: “You killed that man” and “I was not here” combine to frame the victim for murder.

Archon Raoul Lambert


Clan: Deva
Concept: Swordsman
Raoul Lambert was a child of the Paris Streets who spent his childhood wanting more then he had. Lacking anything resembling a Trade or Education, Raoul joined the Army and took to violence like a fish to water. When the Invictus of Paris began searching for possible new Archons, Raoul Lambert's Chain of Command recommended him for the Special Assignment Opportunity just so they could get rid of the loud mouth braggart who constantly challenged their authority, tookevery offense as an opportunity to draw steel, and regularly appeared in formation stinking of last night's wine and whores. Now that Raoul has been Embraced and made an Archon, very little has changed. The Deva Duelist appears only interested in further perfecting his swordplay, fighting duels, and over indulging in whores and wine.

ARCHON CUTTER

CLAN: Nosferatu
Concept: Convicted Murderer
He was a farm boy that enjoyed torturing the live stock and smaller children. His Father could not beat the devil out of him. After he murdered his parents he fled to Paris. Once there he did not stop killing those he thought he could without getting caught. It did not take long before he was thrown into a City Cell. Someone within clan Nosferatu thought it would be fitting for Alena Atropus's new team of Archons to have a truly vile Monster among their members. Since his Embrace he uses the name Cutter, when he bothers to use a name at all. Mostly he just lurks about quietly waiting for the opportunity to Cut. He likes to Cut. Sometimes though he Whistles. He likes to Whistle. No One likes his Whistling. No One likes it when he Cuts. He enjoys their screams.

Archon Amo Abou

CLAN: Gangrel
Concept: Hunter
Amo Abou was a simple Woodsman who made his living as a poacher. Often he preferred the company of Nature to other Men. For the most part, other people only ever seemed to bring trouble. When Clan Gangrel was asked to find a new Archon they chose Amo Abou. Since his Embrace Amo Abou has had mixed emotions about his new existence and position within the Invictus. He never asked for any of this, and now that it has been forced upon him he rather it was not. Amo though is at heart a Survivor and he would rather endure the Nights then give himself to the Dawn.

Concept: Madame
In life Madame Mathis was a successful Lady of the Night who entertained some of Paris's most elite Lords and Ladies. In time she parlayed their Gifts into buying a House of her own, complete with working girls, protection, and all the other sundries needed. By her late twenty's Madame Mathis was running the most elite brothel in all of Paris and responsible for trading in secrets and arranging meetings between some of the most famous and or notorious personalities of the city. When the Mekhet learned of the new Archon's being formed they thought best to put one of their own on the team to keep an eye on what is really going on. Since her Embrace Josephine Mathis has been reveling in her new existence and feels that now more then ever she truly has the power to be the master of her own destiny. She has no love for her fellow Archons nor the actual responsibilities of being an Archon, but she is absolutely thrilled by the opportunities the position offers her to uncover secrets.
