Custom Blood Magic: Path

Path of Predator and Prey
“We are the Killer of Killers. The Apex Predator amongst the Apex Predators. They fear us because we hunt without failure…” To do one's job they must be a predator like no other predators. We must understand both other predators and prey to understand how best to hunt our own prey. Once this is achieved we can draw amongst the rest of the animals and use their strengths as our own…

•Aspect of the Monkey

One must make incredible athletic feats to either get to a target or get away from one. The monkey shows how such a thing is possible. Scaling trees, swinging from vines, or leaping from limb to limb they move swiftly. This is something every great hunter needs at the disposal. Imagine scaling a building, swing from a cable, or leaping from rooftop to rooftop to get to your prey.

System: By spending a blood the user gains the ability to swing, climb, and leap like a monkey without the need for Potence. The player gains two extra traits and a free athletics retest to be able to pursue or escape a target using a parkour like movement. This lasts for the scene. This power cannot be stacked with itself.

••Vision of the Hawk

Needing to see and identify one's prey before the prey spots you is essential to complete your hunt. Nothing does that better than the Hawk. Their vision clear and sharp they spot their prey from great distance with crystal clear view then sweep in to snatch their prey up.

System: By spending a blood the users vision becomes as sharp and as clear as a hawks. This will mimic the ability of heightened senses and also allow the user to see up to a 100 yards in detail as though individuals and objects were standing directly in front of them. This power lasts for the scene or when the user cancels it whichever comes first. This power cannot be stacked with itself.

•••Hide of the Rhino

Even prey can become predators and vice versa. The Rhino is a perfect example of such a thing. They do not hunt but when hunted become deadly and survive from even the most vicious attacks. Most look at the huge horns and weight as the advantage they have but I implore you to look at their hide. What makes them dangerous is surviving the initial attack that most wouldn’t give them the opportunity to respond.

System: The user spends a blood and a temporary mental trait and upon activation of this power their skin becomes the thick hide of a Rhinos. This gives the user three extra health levels and the negative trait Repugnant. This power lasts for the scene or when the user cancels it whichever comes first. This power cannot be stacked with itself.

••••Strength of the Gorilla

Nothing is more fierce than the Silverback Gorilla. The strength it wields can even smash some of the Get of Caine to dust. Some of our prey is stronger than others and requires extra power to bring down. These are the perfect creatures to draw upon Brothers and Sisters.

System: The user spends a blood and a temporary willpower. Upon activating this power one's strength is increased beyond their normal causing 2 extra levels of damage to any Brawl or Melee attack they do. If used with weapons, they must be reinforced in some way or it will break, similar to Potence. This power lasts the scene or when the user cancels it whichever comes first. This power cannot be stacked with itself.

•••••One With the Animals

At this point you have attuned yourself with the rest of the predators and prey of the world. Calling upon them has become more than just a tool but they have become one with you. You draw them into yourself, increasing oneself.

System: The user spends 2 blood and a temporary willpower. Upon activating they pick one category (Physical, Mental, or Social) and get a 4 trait bonus to said category. This power lasts for the scene or until the user cancels it whichever comes first. This power cannot be stacked with itself, to give traits in multiple categories or otherwise.
