Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

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.

Psychic Vampirism (Dementation 3, Auspex 4, Eat Food)

To internalize something is to understand it; blood is the essence of a person; by eating the body, it is possible, with the right kind of hunger, to consume the mind. When feeding, for every 2 blood traits (or 1 damage in flesh eaten), you may drain 1 mental trait OR 1 Willpower trait from the victim for the night, and ask 1 question about the victim or something they know. Once per victim per night, you may swallow a non-blood body part (minimum some hair or nails) and a personal effect such as a scrap of clothing, in order to drain 1 more trait and ask 1 more question. This happens automatically if you are feeding on flesh. Traits may only be increased to 3 mental and 1 willpower above gen limit, but theoretically any number can be removed from the target. As the hungry Malkavian cannot partake of a mind without imbibing its madness, you gain one of the victim’s Derangements for the night (if none, Sanguinary Animism instead). Since this power requires successfully feeding, there is no challenge and it cannot be “resisted”.
