Custom Combination Discipline / Technique
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.
| Discipline Name | Discipline Level |
|---|---|
| Auspex | 2 |
| Thaumaturgy - Hermetic | 2 |
Prerequisites:
Auspex 2,
Tremere Thaumaturgy (Path of Blood) 2,
Thaumaturgical Sight
This technique increases the duration and removes the limitation of blood magic from the combination discipline of Thaumaturgical sight and is only limited by the vampire's lore as to which types of magical effects can be scrutinized.
By invoking Quintessencial Sight, you become capable of noticing the use of any magic (i.e. assamite sorcery, hedge magic, koldunism, setite sorcery, sphere magic, theurgy, tremere thaumaturgy, etc.). You can call out this sight at any time (subject to being conscious, able to spend blood & willpower and so on), and you immediately notice all rituals in use, all magic in the process of casting or currently in effect in addition to all objects and people enchanted with magic.
If the user has the appropriate lore, this combination discipline allows its user to automatically identify the type of a particular magic in effect (i.e. assamite sorcery, hedge magic, koldunism, setite sorcery, sphere magic, theurgy, tremere thaumaturgy, etc.).
The user must still engage in a Static Mental Challenge, difficulty of eight traits and using the Occult ability or appropriate Lore ability for retests to determine the specifics of an effect. If you succeed, the subject must reveal to you the effects of the power invoked. If it's a power that you possess or you have the appropriate Lore, you are assumed to know the name of the power, and you can also determine the target. Otherwise, the subject need only reveal the effect of the power in question. You are still only able to scrutinize one power in this fashion each turn, so even if you spot several magical effects in action, you can only concentrate on one of them at a time. This level of concentration requires your normal action and cannot be sped up with Celerity or similar powers.
Activation of this combination discipline requires the expenditure of both one blood trait and one willpower trait and remains active for the remainder of the scene or one hour, whichever comes first.
You should indicate you Quintessencial Sight by placing you fingers, spread in a "V" to the side you your eyes.
Uses of this power is not immediately noticeable to others, though people will notice your intense scrutiny.
