Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Malkavians have a means, unlike any other, to tap into the collective consciousness of their entire clan.  Within this “Madness” lies knowledge and secrets of the whole of the clan.  By tapping into this connection, the Malkavian can gain insight, knowledge, and even perception they would not have on otherwise.

System:  The Malkavian spends 1 willpower trait to activate this power for the next immediate Mental challenge.  During that time the Malkavian may add their Dementation discipline rating in Bonus Traits to the next Mental challenge. This combination Discipline may only be learned by members of the Malkavian Clan.

When activated, the Abyss itself merges with your skin, and takes on the color and texture of the night's sky, allowing you to blend in with the night itself. The abyss moves as you move, as long as you don’t move any faster than a normal walking pace. Faster movement causes your body to become a blur textured night. It offers no invisibility, but anyone trying to identify you may find it difficult.

System: Spend a Blood Trait to activate this power.  For the rest of the scene, you gain an additional four Traits in any Stealth challenge while in darkness.

Developed as a joint venture between the Brujah and the Lasombra, this combination discipline merges the supernatural speed of the Celerity with the otherworldly powers of Obtenebration. The vampire concentrates for a brief moment, assuming the Tenebrous Form and stepping into an adjacent, only to emerge a moment later from another shadow nearby their victim. Only victims expecting for such an attack have any hope of getting out of the way in time. Those that do not find themselves unable to react in time to avoid an attack from the Cainite.

System: The character spends 3 Blood Traits to activate this power, then makes a Brawl or Melee attack against their victim. The defender may not attempt to dodge the attack, or spend the Dodge Ability for a retest in the Challenge. There is one exception to this limitation. The defender may announce at the beginning of the turn that they are dedicating all of their actions towards dodging the incoming strike. If they do, then they may attempt to dodge the attack, though the aggressor still benefits from an additional retest. A victim of Nightfall's Reach can always attempt to soak an attack made with this power. Even if the attack itself prevents the victim from soaking the strike or it's damage, they may attempt to do so normally.

The true skill of an Assassin is the art of the stealth kill.  However, one other key aspect is the ability to get away with the assassination when completed.  As a result the Shakar of the Black Hand developed this skills as a means to cover up their own tracks after performing a hit.  By blending the arts of Obfuscate to conceal and the skills of Auspex to absorb and sense emotions the Shakar can leave an area they have recently blank void of any actual evidence of their presence having ever actually been there.  Instead those searching will only find evidence to suggest a non-descript culprit did the deed instead of the Shakar.

System: The user spends 1 permanent willpower trait and removes all sources and means by which for anyone to gain factual information about the user from a location.  This power is used after a scene. no powers such as, but not limited to, eyes of the past, spirits touch, spirits in another realm etc will reveal in any investigations who the user of this power was or even that this power was used.  Images and information appear vague and nondescript for those investigating a scene the character was in.
