Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Prerequisites: Attunement, Auspex 3, Potence 2, Fortitude 2
Description: “He hummed to himself as he watched the vitae soak into the warm metal. He paused, smiling as he considered that he was both ghouling and Inspiring the steel he was bringing to life.”
System: Spending a point of blood into an object while crafting it grants it the crafters strength. Once per scene or hour, the object will be given protection against damage. For a number of rounds equal to the crafter’s Potence rating, the object will be granted half the crafter’s Fortitude rating, round down, in damage reduction. If the object is not completely destroyed, such as in the case of body armor, it will meld back together and be usable again in the next hour.
In MET, this power costs 9exp traits

Through vigorous training and meditation, the user of this power has found a way to bolster themselves in a certain attribute catergory at the high cost of weakening themselves in others. To activate this power, the user must spend an entire round in concentration, doing no other activities, and spend 1 Blood trait. The user also spends either 2, 4, or 6 traits from any  1 catergory to increase another catergory by 1, 2, or 3 respectively. The traits sacrificed may not be refreshed or regained by any means until the scene or hour(whichever is shorter) is over at which the Boosted Attribute returns to normal as well.

Example- 1- The user spends a blood and concentrates for a round, while sacrificing 2 Social traits to bolster his Mentals by 1 trait. 

Example- 2- The user spends a blood and concentrates for a round, while sacrificing 4 Mentals and 2 Socials, to bolster his Physicals by 3.

Unleashing the Scarlet Dragon of Blood And Bone

Blood Shintai 5, Bone Shintai 3, Cultivation 2, Demon Shintai 1

Cost: 13xp

Building upon the core principles of Blood Shintai, the Kuei-jin reaches across the battlefield, drawing forth the blood of dozens of enemies at a time and slaying them where they stand.  As an action, she spends a variable amount of Yang Chi, subject to the normal limits of her Dharma.  Each Chi spent has one of the following effects, depending on the circumstances:

Under the Dark Colony Mass Battle rules (or something similar) each point of Chi spent adds +1 to the total Casualties suffered by the enemy Army at the conclusion of a Battle Round.

Each point of Chi Spent may destroy up to five levels of the following Backgrounds: Cult, Kinfolk, Retainers, or Thralls.

Each point of Chi Spent may destroy one level of the Military Force Background

Each point of Chi Spent may destroy up to 10 nameless enemy hordes, subject to ST discretion

The blood, bone and viscera drawn forth does not simply lie inert, however; the Kuei-jin uses the raw materials to create a temporary home for her Po, sending it forth to wreak havoc among her enemies as a terrifying dragon formed from the remains of her slain enemies.

Once at least three Yang Chi have been spent using Unleashing the Scarlet Dragon of Blood and Bone, the dragon forms at the end of the round.  The Dragon has the following capabilities:

Two Physical Traits and One Health Level per Yang Chi spent, as per Blood Awakening.  This is cumulative, and may increase as this Discipline Technique continues to be used over successive rounds.

All mechanical benefits of the Kuei-jin’s Demon Shintai form, including extra Physical Traits.  Features not consistent with the form of a dragon (Demon Weapon, for instance) will change aesthetically to a fitting form, such as claws or teeth, but provide the same mechanical benefit as normal.

The Po, while inhabiting this body, will tend to defend the Kuei-jin in a general sense - after all, if the Kuei-jin dies to their mutual enemies, they both perish - but otherwise acts according to the Po’s nature, unless commanded with a challenge of Hun vs Po.  At the end of the scene, the Po returns to the body violently, provoking an immediate check for Shadow Soul.

“Yoink!”

When a cainite you can see enters a frenzy, you may reflexively attempt a social challenge against that cainite. If you succeed you draw the cainite’s Beast into yourself and enter into a frenzy per regular frenzy rules. The victim exits frenzy immediately, behaves in a similar way to someone who has used Drawing Out the Beast, and can no longer enter a frenzy. You retain their Beast for the scene or one hour, whichever is shorter.
