The Beast is always present. The philosophy used to keep it in check must likewise permeate the Kindred whenever the higher mind is in control. This Discipline Technique allows a skilled observer to discern what system of morality a Kindred follows.

Engage or observe the target in conversation for at least ten minutes. Make a Social Challenge, retest with Empathy. The target retests with Subterfuge. If successful, the user knows if the target follows a Path or Road other than Humanity and if they have a Code of Honor (or similar merit at Storyteller discretion). 

On a success, the user may also gain additional information by spending Blood Traits:

1 - The virtues of the path (ie, Conscience or Conviction and Self-Control or Instinct)

2 - What Path/Road the target follows (see note)

3 - Path/Road rating, and specifics of the Code of Honor (if applicable)

Note: This Discipline Technique does not directly reveal the name of the Path. Instead, it gives the user an idea of the ethics and sins. Identification of the exact Path will depend on the PC’s Lores and knowledge.
