Custom Sabbat Ritae
Some chronicles allow for their players to develop customized powers for their characters. The following is a compilation of player created custom content in OWBN. At this time, custom content that is created and/or used by vampire PC's is required to be listed.
Name: Thunderdome
Created by: Venom and Sons of Caine of Milwaukee: Black Crusade
Description: Sometimes the bonds of Sword members from different packs go beyond those gained through the Vaulderie. Through time tested support and backing of each other, the pack members of the Sons of Caine and Venom have created a ritae to further prove their trust and devotion to the other’s cause. Through the trust and familiarity, members of both packs are stronger when fighting alongside each other. In preparation of this rite, members of both packs will go and steal motorcycles from the surrounding area as the Sons of Caine members value their personal bikes too highly to include them in this destructive ritae. To perform this rite, attending priests from both packs must know the ritae. The performing priests pool the names of their pack mates into two separate bowls, or helmets if you are so inclined, and teams of two are drawn at random. After teams are drawn and a bracket is made, the members of the Sons of Caine will mount their bikes and their accompanying teammate from Venom will grab a long bludgeoning instrument. A dangerous game that is a mix between chicken and a joust commences as members of Venom attempt to knock the opposing bike over or the opposing team members off while the Sons of Caine member attempts to keep their bike upright and moving. There are very few rules to this event other than that playing dirty is encouraged. When only one team’s bike is left standing a bonfire is started, usually with the now demolished motorcycles and members of both packs party and revel in their accomplishments or lack thereof depending on the events played out during the tournament.
Mechanics: For the rest of the night, when a member of the pack Venom and a member of the pack Sons of Caine, that have both taken part in this ritae are engaged on the same opposing target they are considered to be up one trait on all challenges against their designated target. Switching targets has no effect as long is at least one member of the other pack engaging the target in some way.
