Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

When Celerity is active, and the full move (Dark Epics) option is taken, rather than multiplying his movement by 2, The Vampire is able to increase his movement by an incredible factor of 10.

This power allows the Gangrel to temporarily change their animalistic features into their original human form. This power works against all forms of observation or recording.

After spending a Willpower trait, and 1 Blood trait, the user burns a number of Mental Traits equal to the number of Beast Traits/features they wish to disguise. Body Control lasts for one (1) hour, but can be continued for a another hour by spending another trait of blood to fuel the Protean side of the combo. The Gangrel morphs into their original human looking form until this power is 'renewed,' they let it run out or turn it off. Willingly ending this power requires only a thought, but costs nothing.

Anyone using Auspex on the Gangrel will, if they win the challenge, notice that some kind of Obfuscate is being used, but since the change is physical, they will only see a blurry shimmering effect, like heat shimmer over asphalt, surrounding the Gangrel's features.

Name: Bonded Projection
Requirements: Auspex 5, Visceratika 5, Penultimate Scry
Cost: 12 XP

Upon mastering the use of other levels of Auspex with the powers of Visceratika, the Gargoyle has finally unlocked the ultimate mastery of the two powers combined. She can now Psychically Project while Bonded with the Mountain.

MET System: The Gargoyle must spend a Blood to activate Bond with the Mountain, spend a Willpower to activate Psychic Projection, and spend a Mental Trait. Keep in mind, the challenge for seeing the Gargoyle's physical form, and the damage required to eject the body from Bond (as per Laws of the Night Camarilla Guide p. 72) remain the same. The Gargoyle is not aware that her body has been found or ejected from Bond with the Mountain while in Psychic Projection (unless she is in the same location as their body for some reason and can see it happen).

The powers of Vicissitude have long been used to create weapons and armor from flesh and bone, but with precision a thin coating of hardened vampiric bone can be applied to such items - or even themselves - giving them a porcelain-like appearance and greatly increasing their durability.

System: To coat an item in bone, the player makes a Static Dexterity-based Physical test with a difficulty of 9 (retest with Body Crafts), and take one health level of unsoakable lethal damage for every four square feet of surface area which must be covered, as they extrude their own bone into a thin sheet. If successful, the coating hardens immediately and can not be entirely broken unless by a supernatural power of a level exceeding their level of Vicissitude at the time of use. If unsuccessful, they still take the levels of damage, but the coating turns to ash immediately. The coating can only bond with organic surfaces (bone, leather, wood, etc.) and if placed on metal or other inorganic material, the coating turns to ash.

When applied to armor, the wearer gains a Resilient physical trait. Additionally, once per round, they gain a free retest on one Fortitude challenge, as the bone coating deflects some of the blow. Note that while the armor can not be entirely destroyed except by powers exceeding the user’s Vicissitude level, they still take damage once the armor levels are depleted.

When a coated weapon is used to make a successful physical attack, the wielder may make a simple test. On a win or tie, the weapon deals an additional health level of damage.

When undergoing a full-body Vicissitude shape-change (whether entering Horrid Form, or returning to their normal form from another Vicissitude form,) the user may make a Static Stamina-based Physical test with a difficulty of 9 (retest with Body Crafts) as a free action. If successful, the form is coated as though it were armor (though gains no actual armor levels,) and natural attacks are considered to be coated weapons. However, the form gains an alien, porcelain-like surface, making interactions with mortals exceptionally difficult - for the purposes of mortal interactions, they have the negative social traits Eerie x3, in addition to being an obvious breach of vampiric secrecy. If unsuccessful, they take two health levels of unsoakable lethal damage.

Borrowed Time

Presence 5, Temporis 5

10xp

Sometimes, there just aren't enough hours in the day for a Kairos to get done what they need to. To give them an extra leg up on the clock, an enterprising Cainite created this power to give himself and his crew a few extra seconds by cheating the hands of time.

System: The Kairos spends 1 Willpower Trait and makes a Static Physical Challenge against a difficulty of 10 traits, bidding up to 5 additional Stamina-related Physical Traits. Time becomes extended for those affected by this power, dependent upon how much Temporis the Kairos has. For example, if the Kairos possesses Clotho’s Gift, then 1 minute would become 5, 1 hour would become 5, and so on. The number of additional Stamina-related Physical Traits bid on the challenge determines the maximum number of additional people affected by this power, as noted on the chart below.

1. 1 person

2. 3 people

3. 10 people

4. 15 people

5. Everyone in the scene

The extent of this time dilation is potent, yet fragile. Combat cannot occur under the auspices of this power without ending the effect. Also, for every hour that this power is maintained, the Kairos suffers an unsoakable level of Lethal damage.
