Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Dementation and Presence solidify one’s personal Magnetism. It is simply a Might-like power for social challenges.

This is a carrier attack which costs 1 willpower to activate and requires either you or your victim to be touching raw soil as per Earth Meld.  Upon a successful physical challenge you may engage your victim in a social challenge (retest Animal Ken).  If you win the social challenge your beast is thrown into your victim and drags him down into the earth, where he remains aware of his surroundings. He remains there for the duration of a scene, hour, or you decide to end the power prior to the end of the scene or hour.  While this power is active, you have the drawbacks associated with Drawing Out the Beast including having to "convince" your Beast to come back to you, as well as the inability to Earth Meld yourself. This power cannot be activated within one hour of sunrise as your beast will simply not allow you to kill yourself.

Flavor: The Crafter has learned how to take their very blood and imbue it into their crafting process. To a lesser extent they understand how the grooves and steel function, and how to best utilize their quietus blood with their weapon. By doing such they can increase the length in time a blood enhanced weapon can hold its edge, or even create an enhanced blade from the very beginning.

Mechanics: This power has two functions.
The first can be utilized by anyone who has learned this power. By expending a Temporary Willpower, and the standard costs for Scorpions Touch or Baals Caress, the user may enhance any bladed weapon they possess. Any such applied blood trait follows all the standard rules for Quietus, and lasts for a scene or hour, whichever comes first. (IE: No need to reapply or apply multiple traits.) Each use of this power requires the Willpower trait to be spent, as such to enhance two weapons at the same time, two willpower would be needed.

The second requires the user to be a skilled crafter. No weapon of less than Crafts x5 can receive the benefit of this secondary power, the user must be the weapons crafter, and the power must be applied during its creation. By expending 1 Permanent Willpower during the creation of an bladed weapon, the user may impart Scorpions Touch or Baals Caress on the weapon. This affect is forged into the blade with a portion of the users willpower, and remains affixed. The weapon continues to function as per normal, however anyone's whose blood was used during the weapons creation is considered 'attuned' to the weapon. At any time someone so attuned may expend one blood and one willpower to enact the poison the blade was created with for one scene or hour. This allows a user without the possession of this combo power, or even quietus, to activate Baals Caress or Scorpions touch for the full duration, based on which discipline was used when the blade was created.

The Assamite power of Taste of Death can be a potent assassins tool of surprise.  However, it can often be the last blow used or one that takes some time.  By combining the arts of Celerity with Quietus; the Assamites Taste of Death becomes more potent and deadly when used.  As the Assamite literally spews much of their blood in a shower over their victims in a rain of acidy death.

System:  Once purchased this combination discipline is always considered active.  When an Assamite uses Taste of Death; this power now inflicts two aggravated damage per blood trait instead of one.  Additionally, the character may now spend up to their generational maximum of blood when using a Taste of Death in an attack.

Only Assamite Antitribu Characters May learn this Combination Discipline
