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 | 5 |
| Auspex | 4 |
Members of the Ravnos Antitribu bloodline created this power based off their experiences during the Week of Nightmares. As Ravnos attacked Ravnos in a blood frenzy; those who survived decided to use that knowledge to create this ability. By combining their skills with Animalism and subtly effecting the targets mind in a frenzy; they can direct their victims to unleash their frenzy on whomever they desire.
System: Once the character has successfully used Drawing Out the Beast on a target they may then spend 1 willpower and engage the same target in a contested Social Challenge. If they succeed they may tell the target who their frenzy is targeted against. The target will then direct all their frenzy actions on the target designated by this power until the frenzy ends.
Only Ravnos Antitribu Character may kearn this Combination Discipline

| Vicissitude | 5 |
| Animalism | 5 |
This combo is always active once learned by the user. If the user ever is reduced to zero willpower (temporary or perm) then the effects of this combo are not able to be used until the user has regained at least one willpower.
Through the use of Visscistitude the user is now able to manipulate metals as easily as they are able to with flesh. This is limited to challenges of metal entering or being added to their body or others. Once metals have been added to the body through this power, they will stay until this power is used again to remove or alter it. It is considered at this point a sympathetic link to the user as it is as much a part of them as their flesh. They are unable to use it on metal that not is becoming part of their body such as doors and walls. Dar Stali is a pre-requisite for further combination powers to extend the use of Metalcrafting.
Retests are made with Bodycrafts.

Under constant threat from their Keeper cousins in the Sword of Caine and struggling against the stagnant Bluebloods of the Camarilla, the Borcellino lineage developed certain techniques to combat the crushing institutional advantages of their main-rivals. Altering their Black Metamorphosis to a form of angelic beauty, the Borcellino Magisters take on supreme beauty as well as the utter terror of their blood's inner darkness. Each of these forms are unique to the Magister, but all are equally compelling. This is an obviously supernatural transformation.
The Lasombra Antitribu spends a Blood trait and a Willpower trait. In addition to all the usual benefits of Obtenebration 4: Black Metamorphosis (aside from the additional attack provided by that form's tentacles), the power lasts one scene or hour and grants three named, Appearance-related social traits (chosen at the time the Lasombra Antitribu buys the power).

The master forgers of the Artificers of the Black Hand are expected to create and provide the best equipment possible to other members of the Chosen. As a result the Artificers of the Chosen created this combination discipline to craft items of a limited mystical property. Using their forges and tools an Artificer can use their supernatural strength during the forging process and imbue some their spiritual strength and heighted abilities from Auspex minor mystical items for tools for members of the Black Hand to use in their mission.
System: a user with this combination discipline may create items of some mystical power. Each item the user wishes to create requires a crafts challenge at a difficulty assigned by the storyteller. Additionally each item created costs 1 permanent willpower to create. Items created by this combination discipline gain a mystical effect no greater than a basic level power. For someone to access the mystical ability of the item they must spend willpower to activate it for a scene.

This combination discipline was crafted by the followers of the Path of Redemption to give them an aura and look of A Dark Angel. By focusing their beast the vampire sprouts two large angelic wings from their back in a shower of blood and gore. The resulting wings allow them to fly and even protect others with them should they need to.
System: The character with this combination discipline spends 1 blood trait to activate it for the next scene or an hour. During that time the character grows two angelic wings from their back and gain a fly speed of 45 mph. Additionally, they may use this wings to intercept an attack made on another character. If the character with this combination discipline wishes to do so they must expend 1 Survival ability and take the hit that was going to effect the other character. Instead of the original character suffering the repercussions of the attack you do instead.
This combination discipline only works if the character is on Path of Redemption.

Met Mechanics
The Nosferatu blessed with False Reflection becomes able to influence all machines and technology when they are under the effects of any their own obfuscate. This power does not turn off it is always on. If the nosferatu is hidden while under Unseen Presence they are truly invisible to detection of any kind or form of machinery or technology. But while under the Mask of a 1000 Faces they can change everything about them. They could sound like and look like Herman Munster or Teddy Roosevelt. Even if they are really are dressed up as a rodeo clown and sound like Mark Twain. All the technology or machinery will just record them as Herman Munster. This will even fool magical devices, weaver tech devices and/or types of technology and machinery.

They can also turn the false reflection merit on and off at the cost of one mental trait.
This power has the ability to fool magical devices, weaver tech devices and/or types of technology and machinery (ST discretion)
Unless false reflection is off, you are invisible to machines while under effects of obfuscate expect for mask of 1000 faces.
