Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Developed by the Dominion’s Seconds of the Black Hand, this combination discipline was created to help them to be able to perform their required duties to their liege.  Those among the chosen who take up the mantle of the Seconds to Dominions or Seraphim are charged with protecting their charge at all costs.  They are their personal bodyguards and right hands.  In many ways the Seconds are equivalent to the Paladins of the Sabbat.  The main difference however is that should the Second’s charge die under their watch they are expected to die with honor for their failure to protect them.  Since their own lives and honor are on the line the Seconds developed this combination discipline to help fulfill their duties.

Using the skill of being able to move with the speed of thought of Auspex and combining it with further speed enhancing abilities of Celerity, the Cainite with this combination discipline can force themselves to pass through the astral realm in nearly an instant to their liege.  Do to the nature of the speed being used and the capabilities of Celerity the Cainite actually instantly hurtles himself physically through the Astral Realm to reach his target at the speed of thought.  However, this can only be used for their charge.  It does not allow them to simple use at a whim on whoever they want.  Additionally this combination discipline only works on one with whom the Second has formed a bond with.  They must tag their liege so to speak in order to establish the necessary link for this combination discipline to be of any use.  Though as an added bonus; due to the nature of the connection the Second is always truly aware of when his charge is in actual danger.  This combination discipline is not known outside the Seconds of the Dominions and Seraphim, let alone the Black Hand itself.

System:  Once purchased, the ability to sense if your liege is in danger is always considered active.  The person with this power is tied to must actively believe they are in danger for the character to be able to sense it.  The second aspect of this combination discipline requires the character to spend 1 Willpower and 3 Blood Traits to activate.  Once activated the character immediately becomes intangible and transported at the speed of thought to the side of the person they have attached this power to.  Once they arrive they immediately reform and find themselves next to their targeted person.  To assign a person as the target of this power they must possess a sympathetic link to the target and spend 1 permanent willpower to attune themselves to the target.  This link between the two characters is permanent or until the target of this power reaches final death.  Additionally, only one character ever may be tied to this power.
