Noddists often don’t view the beast as a burden or curse. They view it as a gift from Caine. A strength to be channeled and focused. By mastering their own beast through the arts of Animalism and then focusing that power with mastery of their senses; the Noddist gains an inner strength for a time as they allow their beast to ride the edge of frenzy.
System: A Character with this combination discipline can activate it by spend 1 willpower trait for the next scene or an hour. While under the influence of Embrace the Beast, the character is not affected by Dominate or Presence. Furthermore, for the duration of the power, the character gains the Physical Traits: Ferocious and Relentless. The Combination Discipline is not without its drawbacks, however. The character may not initiate any Mental or Social Challenges (except for Intimidation). Additionally, the character temporarily gains the Derangement: Crimson Rage. If she already has this Derangement, it becomes very active for the duration of the Combination Discipline's use. The Combination Discipline also comes to an end of the character's first physical confrontation.

The Toreador is so laden with emotion that they leave an emotional imprint on an item. This item will forever have the stain of the strength of the emotion within it. This power is only known to be used by one Toreador, Tiffany Cole. It can only be learned from her directly.
MET mechanic: When holding an item, the Toreador spends one blood and one social trait to invest the currently felt emotion into the item. The item will forever bear that emotion through uses of Spirit's Touch. It cannot be "overwritten" by someone else's emotional imprint, without an additional use of this power. The emotion cannot be sensed without the use of Spirit's Touch.

By expending 4 Blood traits and a Temporary Will Power and then spending an hour in meditation, the user may change both form and self to become someone else. This power MAY NOT be used to perfectly mimic an existing person, though a previously assumed persona may be implemented. Any attempts to find the originating persona fail so long as the power is active. The assumed persona is considered its own person for purposes of summons, sympathetic links, and specially bound/attuned items (Though anything the assumed persona may use or have used on them will still link back to the originating persona). However, nothing may impair the properties of vitae, and so blood bonds, viniculums, and the sympathetic nature of blood traits are unaffected regardless of the use of this power.

The vampire's connection with animals is such that they can transfer their physical endurance to animals under their control. Such creatures can be made tougher and more resilient with an increase in stamina from the vampire's Fortitude.
System: You must first make a connection to the animal using Feral Whispers. You must then spend a Blood Trait for each level of Fortitude you wish to invest in the animal for the rest of the night. You may not grant the animal more Fortitude than it has Stamina-related traits or than you have Fortitude.

With the deadly venom and toxins of your studies, you can transmute your blood into a substance that weaken and poisons your victims. You can then coat weapons with this foul ichor, spit at your foes or simple bring it to the surface of your skin to affect your victim by touch. Unwary Foes may actually drink such tainted vitae.
Each Blood Trait that you spend on this power is converted into a dangerous poison. If this tainted vitae touches a victim or is otherwise ingested into her system, she loses one Mental Trait automatically. Thus, you can strike someone with your hand (and a physical challenge) and cause the victim to lose an additional Trait due to your venom. You can coat weapons of dagger-size or larger with this poisonous blood or even kiss your opponent. You can even make a Physical Challenge against anyone within 10 feet to spit this blood at a victim.
Any given attack may only use one Trait of blood with this power, though multiple attackers with poisoned weapons could wreak deadly havoc on a single victim. Similarly, you can only spit a single Trait of this tainted vitae or strike unarmed with a single Blood Trait in each action. Altering your blood in this fashion does not require an action on your part – you can strike an opponent with your hand, for instance, and then declare the use of Enfeeble Mind Venom with a single Blood Trait. You can concentrate multiple Blood Traits onto a single weapon, though each strike uses only one Trait of blood (and thus reduces only one Mental Trait from the victim). Of course, preparing yourself thus is a legitimate tactic if you think you will be in a pronounced fight and want a weapon sufficient for several strikes.
