Custom Blood Magic: Ritual
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.
Taming Caine (Advanced - 5)
This rare ritual brings an outsider into the Ba’ham’s circle. The setup is important and the space prepared ahead of time. The “victim” rarely understands what is happening and either arrives as a surprise, or bound and gagged. Cain (the victim) then is divested of his clothes through force or trickery and walks down a path followed by an officiant dressed as a serpent. Lilith greets him and offers him food and drink then shows him a demonstration of her power (often just a flogging). Variations have Cain visited by three or up to six “angels” each offering a different torture. When the last angel leaves he is bathed in ice water then given blood to drink. Cain then is left alone for a short time before a path out of the garden is shown to him, then he is hounded and attacked by serpents cats and owls (sometimes actual, other times cultists in masks) until he flees the ritual.
Mechanics: The victim gains the derangement masochism for the next cycle of the moon and also the additional mental traits Insightful x2. He is also unable to hide from or lie to any of the cultists who participated in the ritual, though they are forbidden from harming him for that same amount of time. If he should successfully flee the ritual before it is completed, but after he is greeted by Lilith he only gains the derangement and no other effects take place.
