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.
The animal fathers of Africa honor the king of cats and mankind too heeds their presence. The caster makes an offering to the ghost of the lions and then braids into his or her own hair a lock of a lion's mane that they have removed themselves for this ritual. Displaying it openly, the caster is granted the lion’s favor of the noble beast’s commanding presence.
This intermediate ritual allows you an extra social trait for the remainder of the evening.
The components are the hair from a lion's mane that you harvested and your own hair braided together. This could be a braid in your hair or hung around your neck, but this must be visible for the favor of the spirits to be granted. The ritual requires a trait of blood to be sacrificed in respect of the spirits; the blood need not be kindred, indeed wildebeest is preferred. Also note that the lion providing the hair need not be alive at the time of casting, but the beast must be respected and as such not kept in storage or as a captive. The trait granted is Commanding, and it remains the discretion of the storytellers if the favor of the Lion's Pride is granted. The Lion’s Favor can be judged with a static social test, difficulty 8 or ST discretion.
