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 |
|---|---|
| Animalism | 3 |
| Dementation | 5 |
Description:
The vampire channels the maddening power of Dementation through body language and eye contact alone, removing the need for spoken words. By invoking the Beast’s primal presence, the Kindred may activate Dementation powers that require verbal communication with simple, unnerving gestures or piercing, silent stares.
If learning Optional Variant (which also requires Auspex 4 and costs 12XP):
Description:
An evolved expression of the original power, this version allows the vampire to channel the effects of Dementation directly into a target's mind via an active telepathic link. With the Beast riding the current of thought itself, words become entirely unnecessary—even gesture and gaze are discarded. Only the mind needs to touch the mind
System:
Once activated, the user may utilize Dementation powers that typically require speech, using nonverbal cues instead.
This allows for silent use of Dementation in situations where speaking would be dangerous, impossible, or undesirable.
Line-of-sight or eye contact is still required, based on the individual Dementation power.
Does not enable silent communication of concepts—only replaces the verbal trigger.
Optional Variant Telepathy:
System:
The user must first establish Telepathy (Auspex 4) with the intended target.
For the remainder of the scene, any Dementation power that would require spoken words may be delivered telepathically through that link.
This allows full functionality as long as Telepathy remains active.
Powers must still follow their normal challenge rules, ranges, and durations.
