MET Mechanics:

By combining the mastery of shadows with their ability to control animals the vampire may extend their powers over darkness to strengthen their ghouled pets.  Those loyal animal retainers are consumed in darkness and when they emerge appear as an emaciated, multi limb creature made of shadow.  The ghouled animal gains an additional boost in strength from the darkness, and additionally the vampire may summon forth their arms of the abyss upon the back of the creature to move them about the battlefield.

System:  The character spends 2 blood traits and 2 temporary social traits to activate this power.  Once activated you may summon a ghoul animal you possess.  Once it arrives or is with you the animal gains the following statistics regardless of its actual traits.

Physical: 12
Social: 8
Mental: 8

Abilities: Animal Ken 3, Brawl 5, Dodge 5, Survival 5, Alertness 4

Disciplines:  Potence 2, Fortitude 1, Obtenebration 4

Health: 8
Blood: 10/1
Movement: 6 Steps in combat
Willpower: 4

Additionally, when you use Arms of the Abyss and your ghouled animal is within the same scene as you; you may summon your arms of the abyss on the creature and command them.  Thus allowing your arms of the abyss to move around a battlefield.  The ghouled animal will follow your verbal commands as well during this time. You may only ever have one use of the combination discipline active at a time. Lastly the creature suffers 1 additional level of damage from fire and sunlight.
