Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

System: If the caster succeeds at the challenge, she may command a single task of a Bau (the task must be able to be accomplished in a single night). If the caster fails the challenge, the Bau attacks the caster. To get the Bau to attack a specific target, the caster must have a sympathetic link or the True Name of the victim is REQUIRED. The Bau vanishes at dawn if not somehow banished prior.
          Information on the various classes of spirits, as well as recommended templates for them can be found in Blood Sacrifice: The Thaumaturgy Companion, pages 23.
          Bau are largely undefined creatures and there is very little mention of them in the source material. They are divine-image projections of the gods and are largely composed from existing systems, rather than having the unique powers they have per the flavor text. They are not quite wraiths and not quite spirits. Powers that target wraiths or spirits specifically shouldn’t be 100% effective against Bau. When such a power (wards, necromancy, certain infernal disciplines, etc.) is used against a Bau, it is recommended that a simple test be thrown with the user until there is a clear win or loss (not tie). If the user wins, the power works this time. If the Bau wins, the power has no effect on the Bau. The only thing that should always be effective against Bau is a Warding Cippus, as they are specifically designed for the purpose.
          It is recommended that Bau be created using Oblivion. For those who do not have access to Oblivion or prefer to stick with Vampire templates for their game, you could alternately use the demon creation rules in the MET Sabbat guide. An example of Bau from each system is listed below. Storytellers are encouraged to alter these templates as best fits their chronicle.
