Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

With this power, vampire can levy a powerful curse over a character. The curse gives the vampire power over the character, but only if the character lies. If she does, the liar becomes vampire’s puppet, her mouth becoming bloody as if she has bitten her lip or tongue. Not only is this disconcerting for others involved, Pope can also choose to see through her eyes for the remainder of the scene or burn out her forked tongue.
System:  Engage your target in a contested Mental Challenge retested with Intimidation.  For the next scene or an hour; if the target lies you may perform another contested Mental challenge retested with Intimidation against the target.  If you succeed and the target has lied you may choose what their next immediate action is.  However this action cannot force the target to harm themselves in any way.  Additionally, you may concentrate and look through the eyes of the liar for the next scene or an hour.  When you are doing so though, you are completely blind to your own surroundings.  You may only have one use of Tongue of the Pope Active at a time.

This power is always active.
When your character takes damage, and successfully test down that damage using Fortitude you auto test down one additional point.

The mundane is delicate, that is the nature of being mundane and fleeting of life. The mortal coil is one that afflicts the living and the inanimate but in the world of the supernatural that is something that is eschewed in favor of the immortal life. Calling upon the unyielding fortitude to shrug off the mightiest of blows, and using that to transform the item in question, a skilled thaumaturge can give any item a false immortality.

System: Expend One Blood and One Willpower plus a number of Mental Traits equal to the gnosis or crafts rating  of the item being affected (whichever is higher (if multiple crafts are used then use the highest single craft used). An item affected by Transform the Mundane becomes invulnerable to any effect which would destroy it of a level equal to or less than the Occult rating of the caster and gains the ability to negate up to its gnosis or crafts rating, whichever is higher, number of effects which would otherwise destroy the item. These are considered “Aegis” like and effects shrugged off in this manner are cumulative and do not refresh. Once all “Aegis” expenditures are used the item can be destroyed as normal unless it is transformed again. You cannot renew the charges until all charges are expended.

Note: This power does not prevent spirits from escaping fetishes via failed fetish activation, Exorcism or other such fetish breaking/releasing powers. If the spirit escapes/is released, the item will remain whole.

During an assignment, an Assamite Antitribu often strews his escape route with tripwires, caltrops and other traps. The Assamite who has developed this power can leave far worse traps -- pools of his own acidic vitae, concealed by powerful Obfuscation powers.

System:  The Assamite Antitribu places a pool of vitae (1-3 Blood Points worth) in a chosen spot and makes a Static Mental Challenge retested with Stealth at a difficulty of 10 to conceal the pool. Anyone stepping into the pool takes 1-3 Aggravated wounds, depending on the amount of vitae put into the pool. If the victim steps into it and is able to soak any of the damage, the amount of blood remains equal to the orginal spent, to damage others who happen into the Trap. (Example: Farid creates a 3 pt. Trap, which Geoffrey stumbles into. The Ventrue, manages to win his soak challenge, leaving 3 pts for his unfortunate lackeys to stumble into.) A trap remains potent until sunrise. Despite the level of Obfuscate used, anyone with an Auspex equal to or greater than the Assamite Antitribu’s level of Obfuscate spot the trap with a successful Investigation challenge.
