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 |
|---|---|
| Fortitude | 5 |
| Dominate | 5 |
Fortitude level 5, Dominate level 5 (The Fortitude 5 is for the totality of body, and the Dominate 5 is for the investiture of spiritual essence into body)
This power was designed to protect against the sorts of techniques that Tremere and other blood mages are famous for. Specifically the theft of Blood and other parts of a person's body to be used as a sympathetic link for powers like Path of Curses, Scry, etc. The way it works is simple; While this power is active, any part of your physical body (hair, blood, eyelash, ashes, skin flakes, anything) that is seperated from your body instantly looses any and all significance, worth and utility for all mystical powers/abilities,such as scrying, theft of blood via Engage the Vessel of Transference, Path of Curses, or anything else. In other words, no one will ever be able to take a sympathetic link from your body. This also includes 'beneficial' reasons to remove part of your body. For example, while this power is active, you cannot embrace childer or blood bond a ghoul, since the moment the blood leaves your body, it instantly becomes generic dead blood. This power does not prevent you from expending blood normally. If a blood mage uses Path of Blood level 4, Theft of Vitae, on a Kindred with this power, the blood mage will not be blood bound, but the target of Theft of Vitae will still loose blood points as normal.
Once learned, this power is always active, unless specifically deactivated in the following way; Normally upon awakening at sunset each evening, a Kindred must spend a blood point to wake up. If a Kindred with this power wants to deactivate it for the evening (for example if they plan to embrace a childer that night), then they must expend an additional level of permanent willpower along with the blood point when they awaken, just as if they had activated Fortitude level 5. If they do this, then they will loose all levels of Dominate and Fortitude for the entire evening, until they go back to sleep again the next morning.
Note that the power can be detected by the observant. Upon removal, blood will congeal, hair will whiten, tissue gets britle, and generally speaking stuff will visibly loose vitality.
