Custom Discipline
Some chronicles allow for their players to develop customized powers for their characters. The following is a compilation of player created custom content in OWBN. At this time, custom content that is created and/or used by vampire PC's is required to be listed.
The word Iatrikē means physical and spiritual medicine in Greek. This unique Inceptor was developed by the Thin Blood Claire Lockwood who happened to get embraced when a frenzied vampire entered into the Boston Emergency Room. With Claire’s focus on medicine and helping others her blood developed this new and unique discipline to heal and cure others. This discipline may only be used on others and not the vampire with it themselves. Also, due to the nature of the use of multiple blood traits to use many of its levels, the character may need to spend blood traits over multiple turns to use it. Lastly, in any challenge that may come up when using this discipline its ability retest is medicine. This discipline works on any creature including vampires.
•Simple Wounds
The most basic application of this discipline allows the vampire to call upon their blood to heal the most minor of injuries upon another. The vampire reaches out and forces the victim’s own blood to rapidly heal and close minor wounds.
System: The character spends 1 Blood Trait to heal 1 level of lethal or bashing damage on a target of their choosing within a radius of yards equal to their permanent willpower score.
••Complex Injuries
In the next evolution of Iatrikē the vampire can use their blood and the blood of others to heal more severe wounds more efficiently. Broken Bones mend and stab wounds heal.
System: The character spends 1 Blood Trait to heal 2 levels of lethal or bashing damage on a target of their choosing within a radius of yards equal to their permanent willpower score.
•••Critical Condition
The vampires skill with Iatrikē has reached such a level they may now heal the most severe and deadly wounds upon another. Those who suffered severe burns of deadly chemical attacks may now have a chance of surviving them when a vampire with this discipline is near by.
System: The character spends 3 Blood Traits to heal 3 levels of lethal/bashing damage or 1 level of Aggravated damage on a target of their choosing within a radius of yards equal to their permanent willpower score.
••••Flatline
One of the more potent applications of Iatrikē allows the vampire to rapidly heal those closest to death. By focusing their blood to manipulate the healing properties of others bodies they can bring a person back from the brink of death itself.
System: The character spends 3 Blood Traits to heal 4 levels of lethal/bashing damage or 2 levels of Aggravated damage on a target of their choosing within a radius of yards equal to their permanent willpower score.
•••••Restoration
Not all injuries a person suffers may come from violence or accidents. Many diseases and poisons can also afflict others. A vampire who has mastered Iatrikē may attempt to end or cure any disease or poison a person s affected by, even Supernatural ones.
System: The character spends 5 Blood Traits and 1 Willpower Trait to instantly cure any disease or poison effecting another target. This power even ends any supernatural diseases or poisons. They may affect any target with this power equal to radius of yards in the characters permanent willpower score. Supernatural Diseases or Poisons attempting to be cured by this power may require a static Physical Challenge retested with Medicine, with a difficulty decided by the Storyteller.
