Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

This power was created with the combined efforts of an elder Malkavian and a Gangrel elder. Both felt this combo power could bring the clans closer together. This combo discipline requires both a Malkavian and a Gangrel to learn. A Malkavian cannot teach a Malkavian and a Gangrel cannot teach a Gangrel. In others words, a Malkavian can teach a Gangrel or a Gangrel can teach a Malkavian.

 

Delving into the twisted madness of a malkavian’s mind and the shape changing ability of a gangrel, this power unleashes madness in the physical form. The creature revealed looks like a twisted nightmarish version of the beast form of the user. For example, a wolf form appears as a writhing mass of wolf heads, tentacles, eyes, and howling human mouths. Mortals first viewing this creature of madness are driven mad with terror. Kine and the like are driven away with Rotschreck.

 

MET System: By spending a blood trait and a willpower trait, the user manifests it’s beast fight form as a form of madness. The flight form cannot be changed by this power. Instead of 5 physical traits, this beast of madness acquires the social traits Intimidating X5. When it first appears all mortals seeing this form immediately flee in terror almost identical to seeing a lupine. Kindred seeing the form get a test as normal with voice of madness and if they pass are immune to it’s effects for five minutes. The user of the power must also pass a Rotchreck test. The first minute is a three trait challenge. Second minute becomes a 4 trait challenge, and every minute after that the user must beat a five trait challenge. The form of madness last for a scene or an hour or until the user changes back to normal beast form. With the expenditure of a blood and a willpower the user can change back to normal beast form. If the user is unable to turn back because he doesn’t have the blood or willpower, he must continue to make 5 trait challenges every round until he enters Rotchreck. While he is in the throws of Rotchreck he must continue to make 5 trait Rotchreck challenges or he enters into a catatonic state and is unable to do anything but babble to himself uncontrollably as the madness has completely taken him over. This power costs 12 xp to learn.
