Tired of breaking his weapons at full Potence a Brujah Blacksmith developed a way to purify metal by focusing on auspices and Potence leaving his weapon with the resistance of the Potence used in the forge.
System:
By spending a mental trait and focusing on the sound of the blows on the metal, the forger is able to identify the places where his blows with the hammer will purify the metal in the best possible way using his Potence.
The weapon gains the resistance of the Potence level used during forging and only works for melee weapons.
The player must make a Craft/Physical test with retest by the appropriate Craft, difficulty of the Potence used x3 to avoid breaking the item in the forge.

Emotions run high in Brujah, though meant not to rule they are a prevalent reality. Tapping into those emotions, and grasping at the purest form of anger, drawing it forth in such a way that it becomes as much a part of them externally as it is internally. The user's skin radiates their hot blooded anger, and their presence an inciting fury. This state, however, takes a toll, as anger is drawn to the surface, mental faculties fail and the urge for violence takes root.
Mechanics: The Character spends 2 Blood Traits and receives the following benefits for the duration of the scene: Brawl Attacks deal an additional level of Aggravated Damage, Physical Traits: Scorching x2, Social Traits: Blazing x2. Negative Mental: Shortsighted x2, Violent x2. This power may be turned off with a simple challenge, once per scene, but if reactivated in the scene the effects may not be turned off once again.

Used by the most sadistic of Kindred, this Discipline allows the user to openly stalk his prey, invisible to all but his intended target who is quickly driven mad with fear and paranoia.
System: A subtle manipulation of Cloak the Gathering, the Kindred employing this combination can spend a Perception based mental trait to extend his Cloak to an individual, allowing her to detect his presence as normal without extending his concealment. Additionally, the user may spend a temporary Willpower trait followed by a Manipulation (or Miscellaneous) based social trait to utilize an extra Obfuscate ability while maintaining his own concealment.
