Fortitude 5
MET Mechanics:
This combination discipline is a blend of Protean and Fortitude in response to the past decade's proliferation of Blood Magic. Protean for Gangrel blood's fundamental mastery of many shapes, and Fortitude for the ability to channel willpower in defiance to damage to the physical. Specifically, it is a point-defense against Stone of True Form.
 
System: Spend 1 Permanent Willpower, reflexively, upon being successfully struck with a Stone of True Form. For the duration of 1 scene, the user of the combo-discipline cannot be forced out of any alternate shape achieved via Protean against their will.
 
Use of this power is reflexive, and occurs immediately upon being successfully struck with a Stone of True Form. Since a successful hit is required, the stone itself is rendered inert, its power expended. Upon activation, the power lasts for one scene. The power prevents the user from being shifted from any Protean conferred shape-changing effect (Claws, Beast, Mist, etc.) back into his "true form" against his will. Successful hits with multiple stones upon the wielder of the discipline once this power is activated will expend the power of those stones, without effect, for the duration of the scene. Since the discipline is based in Protean, it will not prevent the stone from affecting powers based in Vicissitude, Obtenebration, Thanatosis, etc. (i.e. this is not a defense against offensive Vicissitude, nor will it prevent the stone from neutering Horrid Form, Arms of the Abyss, etc. If the house-rules of a particular game allow "stacking" forms, a successful hit by a Stone of True Form will neuter all but the abilities conferred via Protean.) As with Aegis, if the user of this discipline has expended their temporary Willpower for an evening, they may still expend permanent Willpower to activate this Combo. Likewise, disciplines which prevent the expenditure of temporary Willpower do not prevent use of this power if the wielder has available permanent Willpower.
 
 Allowances: The mental and mystical fortitude required by instruction in the use of this power requires the student to purchase the Merit: Magic Resistance after character creation. Prerequisites of 1 dot each in Meditation and Occult abilities may be required at ST discretion for characters who did not buy Magic Resistance at character creation.
