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.
This rite is a gruesome one when performed by the presiding priest. In a grisly reenactment of the See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil scenario. The priest pulls out one of their own eyes, teeth, and ear as it becomes lost to the ritus, but may be grown back. You suffer no negatives for the act of such during the ritus itself but after the ritus has been finished (when the monimacy challenge is over) you are down 3 traits on all challenges for the night.
Mechanics
You know what the powers and effects in use within a monomacy battle are as they can not hide from your faith.
The Sabbat revels in the Beast and the power it holds. This ritae is used to unlock that very potential. The Sabbat priest must goad the Cainite before them to the razor edge of frenzy. They must push the Sabbat seeking the power if this ritae to rile up their beasts and yet control them. If the Sabbat member can control the coming frenzy and not fall to it; they grow in strength and power for a time.
System: This ritae lasts a scene or an hour. During that time the recipients of the Ritae gain the Physical Traits Brutal, Ferocious, and Vicious. However, you maintain this benefit the character must win a Self-Control/Instinct challenge at difficulty 4 each round of combat before the start of normal. If they fail, the effects of the ritae end.
Bahari embrace the natural state of the beast, but that does not mean it must not also be guided in order to practice the torture that brings enlightenment. Frenzy cannot be allowed to prevent the pursuit of pain. Enlightening the Beast guides the beast with pain and song to remind it of its place under the Dark Mother’s power.
System: This ritual may be celebrated alone or in a group. Each participant spends a blood as the celebrant presses a thorn from a single plant into the center of their chest. He/she sings a blessing of anguish over those participating in Bahari. For a number of hours equal to twice the celebrant’s path rating (on Path of Lilith or appropriate variant), participants will not frenzy due to pain or attack (although other stimuli for frenzy function normally). Instead, they will take a Negative Warped Trait and must keep the thorn in their chest for the duration of the effect. Additionally, they will take an impatient trait for every two hours they go without experiencing pain, but these will go as soon as pain is acquired.
System: Many ancient cultures believe that various acts of mediation, pain, dance, or even sex will allow people to receive great visions and insight. This ritual follows the idea that through ritual sex a person will be granted some sort of higher awareness. The priest must first find a partner either willing or not and then proceed to engage in a lengthy sexual experience. More then one person may be involved but only the priest may receive the visionary benefits. The priest must engage in the activity for no less then 45 minutes in order to gain the benefits. The first thing this ritual does is it allows all participants the ability to have sex regardless if they are on a path or not. Though they do not gain the pleasure from it as a mortal would, they experience it as any vampire does on humanity. Finally the priest who performs this ritual receives flashes of insights and visions at the conclusion of the act.
Ignoblis Ritae
The warriors within the Salubri can utilize the insight granted to them from their third eye to study their foes tactics before a coming battle. By writing down what they know of their foe and burning that paper they are able to foresee their opponents tactics in the wisps of smoke.
Mechanics: Mental Challenge, difficulty 15 minus the level in lores the priest has about their particular opponents. The priest must declare their opponents creature type or clan at the start of the ritae. The named creature can either be broad in scope (Werewolf) or more specific (Get of Fenris). If evoking a creature type the caster gains a free retest that takes the place of an ability retest. If evoking a specific clan, breed, etc. the caster gains a number of traits equal to their level in lore pertaining to the evoked clan, breed, etc. that are added to their first action against that opponent.
System: This Ritus is one of punishment, used on Cainites deemed no longer capable of performing Ritae and have been stripped of the ability to hold the Ordained status. The priests performing this Ritus (Must be at least three) take turns reciting the failings of the priest in question. When it is finished the target of this ritus is offered the opportunity to beg contrition of the acting priests. If it is not asked for or refused, the target is then spat upon and thus rendered unable to perform Ritae. Doing so automatically fails and deals the false priest a level of lethal damage that comes in the form of an obvious lash across the face or back.
System: The Priest must roleplay through a perverted version of the Catholic excorcism, appropriate to Sabbat theology. Make a Static Social challenge, retest rituals, against 20 Traits to enact the Ritae. For each Sabbat participant in the Ritate, lower the difficulty of this Static challenge by one, to a minimum of the target creature's willpower. This Ritae does not give bonus traits to any tests. If successful, engage a contested willpower challenge (retests: Willpower, Luck, Oracular Ability) against the entity you are attempting to exorcise. If the challenges is successful, you expel the target Demon or Wraith for the scene, or longer at st discretion. If you fail the challenges, you may not attempt a further exorcism until the next lunar month.
Taken from the Catholic Rites of Exorcism, the Order of St. Blaise created this Ritus to combat the demonic who would possess others and take hosts. The ritus followers a similar method as the normal Catholic Rite, though the Preacher often substitutes God with Caine. Indeed, like the normal rite, it may take days or weeks to exorcise a demon. First the Priest needs to learn the name (though note, not necessarily the True Name) of the Demon who is possessing the individual. Once that is learned, the Priest performs the rite to banish the Demon. The Priest engages the Demon in a contested Willpower Challenge. The Priest needs to defeat the Demon in a number of challenges equal to the possessing Demon's Faith Score if it's a Fallen, or Gnosis Score if it is a Spirit Demon. The Priest may only perform one challenge a night, so most Exorcisms take several nights at the earliest. Should the priest win, the Demon is exorcised from its host and forced to either return to hell or find a new home. Should the priest lose, there is always the chance the Demon may take them over instead.
The Sword of Caine is fanatic cult dedicated to Gehenna. The priest performing this ritae for a member of the Sabbat must invoke the prophecies of the end time. They must express the purpose of the Sabbat itself and its coming victory in the Sabbat against the antediluvians. Those who listen to the priests words find themselves emboldened for a time and defy almost any odds against them.
System: This ritae lasts for one night. During that time, the character benefiting from this ritae may call upon it once a night to fully refresh their Mental or Social Traits they may have lost during the night. They may only call upon this attribute refresh once per night and may not have this ritae cast on them more than once per night.
System: Successful Rituals challenge allows each participant to add a bonus up to the Priest's Path Rating (STs discretion) on the Self Control/Instinct challenge to avoid Frenzy when consuming Garou blood immediately at the conclusion of the Ritae. If the caster frenzies, all other participants are -1 trait to resist the frenzy.
