Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

 

By fueling his Thaumaturgy with his own life force a desperate Tremere with this combination discipline can call upon one of two benefits.

 

First, he may spend a Health Level in order to power his Thaumaturgy in place of a Blood Trait. Any additional costs to activate the specific Thaumaturgy power can be paid with Physical Traits in place of whatever other type of trait may be required. The caster must used named traits (such as Brawny, Dexterous, Stalwart, and so on, not generic or Bloody physical traits) when powering his Thaumaturgy in this manner.

 

Alternately, if the caster pays the cost of his Thaumaturgy with a Blood Trait and any other normal requirements, he may sacrifice physical traits on a one for one basis, up to three, for bonus traits in challenges related to Thaumaturgy for the round.

 

Health Levels lost in such a way are considered Lethal Damage and cannot be healed during the scene in which the damage was received, nor can they be resisted or negated in any fashion.
