Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Sabbat, Anarch, and Independent Only

“The feral and bestial nature of the gangrel is put on terrifying display, part of their inner Beast manifesting itself briefly to dare anyone to challenge it in a flash of eyes and fangs and a bellowing roar of territorial hatred.

This power was created by gangrel antitribu after a leyline disruption, showing the adaptability and tenacity of the clan. This power is only able to be taught to members of the Sabbat, Anarch Movement, or those who are Independent of sect.”

System: The gangrel spends 1 Blood and 1 Willpower, manifesting an aspect of the gangrel curse of their Beast form: gnashing fangs, glinting eyes, sharp claws, etc. and engages one opponent within 30’ in a Willpower challenge. During this challenge, and only this challenge, the gangrel can choose to add on either half their Bestial or half their Feral traits, rounded up, to the challenge. Bestial and Feral traits cannot be called as negatives on this challenge.

Success on the challenge allows the target to still act aggressively towards you, however, once under the influence of Predator's Magnificence and inside this range, the opponent is reluctant to fight and is down a number of traits in all challenges equal to the Gangrel's Bestial or Feral Traits. The effects of Predator’s Magnificence last for the Scene or Hour, or once the gangrel physically attacks a target under the effect of Predator’s Magnificence. Once the declaration of a physical attack is made, the target is no longer under the effects of Predator’s Magnificence.

The gangrel can affect a total number of targets up to their max Courage traits, however they can only affect one additional target per turn.

Failure on the challenge prevents the target from being subjected to Predator’s Magnificence again for the night.

The retest for this challenge is Intimidation.

Wardens are expected to have survived and seen much in their time. Being one on the road for as long as they have, not much escapes their awareness. Taking inspiration from the Crimson Horde's single combat ritae, the Wardens have molded it to a more of a personal use of survival.

Spend a Willpower to activate this power for a scene or hour. The vampire is automatically aware whenever you are the target of a power. The use of Garou Gifts, mage’s sphere magic, vampiric disciplines or even hedge magic causes a distinct tingle to run up your spine; though not limited to this set of powers. The vampire may make a Static Mental Challenge against a difficulty of eight Traits in order to discern the source of the effect and exactly what it was (although the vampire must have sufficient levels of the appropriate Lore to determine which power is being used against them).

This combination discipline modifies the animal form of a vampire using Protean: Shape of the Beast to something more akin to a lycanthrope in its hybrid form. To the untrained eye you appear as a terrible werecreature. The vampire's muscles roil and boil as they take on this form, their body stretching and contorting until the Metamorphosis takes hold fully.

System: When activating Protean: Shape of the Beast the vampire may spend a temporary willpower in addition to the normal cost for Shape of the Beast. The Vampire's animal form retains its normal mass, but has an upright stance that allows it to walk on two legs, two arms instead of front legs or wings, and hands in which the fingers end in claws. In this form the Vampire gains all of the normal benefits of Protean: Shape of the Beast along with the drawbacks. This power may be used in conjunction with powers or merits that speed up the transformation time of Protean: Shape of the Beast. While this power may fool some, this power will never deceive the spirits, the shifters, nor their kin.

This power enhances both Auspex and eyes of chaos to allow the user to become a master investigator with little physical effort. While the user has successfully activated Demetation 3 (eyes of Chaos) in a scene to "read the patterns", they no longer need to touch things to use Auspex 3 (Spirit's touch), seeing them, and being within a few feet allows the power to work. The player still needs to spend the mental traits to activate the power and it otherwise functions by book.
