Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Blood carries many secrets of a person within it, and this combination discipline was developed to allow a vampire to understand the hidden things one’s blood.  A vampire so trained in this combination discipline can there after taste the blood of their victim and learn all the weaknesses and faults simply by taking time to concentrate on the stolen vitae in their veins.

System: To use this combination discipline the character must first successfully feed from their target (other willingly or through combat), and mark on their character sheet which of their blood traits is from that target. By expending one of those Blood Traits the character may ask one of the following questions per Blood Trait of the victim’s they spend:

·         A Flaw the Character possesses

·         A Negative Trait the Character possesses

·         A Derangement the Character possesses

·         The Character’s Nature

·         The Character’s Permanent Willpower Score

·         What Path of Morality the Character is on and it’s Rating

The answers must be truthful, but if there are multiple answers to the question, the target may choose which answer the character received.

For thousands of years, cultures around the world have placed permanent paint on their bodies, whether as mystical defense, as a status symbol, rites of passage or simply as personal decoration. The Malkavian clan considers art to be a way of spreading their truth, whether it be on the skin or not. Those who have this combination of Disciplines can create tattoos that remain on the vampire's skin for a certain time and convey their beliefs, legacies, coded messages or something without any meaning through the drawings. System: The tattoo artist spends a temporary point of willpower, and uses a point of blood incorporated into the ink (this will not cause a blood bond) and makes a social challenge for each month this power lasts, being able to retest with Crafts: Tattoo, up to a maximum of 12 months. The tattoo, to be completed, takes a number of hours equivalent to the target's willpower, minus one hour for each mental characteristic spent, with a minimum of one hour. After the tattoo artist manages to finish the tattoo, it can be reinforced, with the tattoo artist giving a specific feeling to his art. Spending a blood point to compose the ink (this will not cause a blood bond) and the expenditure of a social characteristic. The tattoo takes an hour to strengthen using the combination of disciplines. Those who are not part of the MLM must keep Eyes of Chaos (Dementia level 3) active while completing the booster. Once reinforced, the effect of the tattoo becomes active for everyone who sees it. And, for the duration of this power, it will awaken this feeling in those who see it. The bearer of the tattoo receives a bonus trait in all social challenges, against those viewing the tattoo. This power is not cumulative. The reinforcement and its effect last as long as the duration of the tattoo. For those who have Malkavian Time and/or are part of the Malkavian Madness Network (MMN), the tattoo can be recognized with a signature, whether or not the tattooed person is connected to MMN or whether or not they have Malkavian Time. Can be identified or tracked as a Malkavian. Someone with high Malkavian Time (level 4 or more), can make a static mental challenge against a fixed mental difficulty of the tattoo artist, to find out who made the tattoo, analyzing for a turn the tattoo patterns and the feeling created by Skin Madness, If defeated, he suffers a one-characteristic penalty on all mental challenges for the next scene or hour, whichever ends earlier.

Por milhares de anos, culturas de todos o mundo colocaram pinturas permanentes em seus corpos, seja como defesa mística, como símbolo de status, ritos de passagem ou simplesmente como decoração pessoal. O clã Malkavian considera a arte uma forma de espalhar sua verdade, seja ela na pele ou não. Os que possuem essa combinação de Disciplinas podem criar tatuagens que permanecem na pele do vampiro por um determinado tempo e passam através dos desenhos suas crenças, legados, mensagens codificadas ou algo sem nenhum sentido.

Sistema: O tatuador gasta um ponto de força de vontade temporário, e usa um ponto de sangue incorporado à tinta (isso não causará laço de sangue) e faz um desafio social para cada mês de duração deste poder, podendo retestar com Ofícios: Tatuagem, até um máximo de 12 meses. A tatuagem, para ser finalizada, demora uma quantidade de horas equivalente à força de vontade do alvo, menos uma hora para cada característica mental gasta, com um mínimo de uma hora.
Após o tatuador conseguir finalizar a tatuagem, ela pode ser reforçada, com o tatuador dando um sentimento específico a sua arte. Gastando um ponto de sangue para compor a tinta (isso não causará laço de sangue) e o gasto de uma característica social. A tatuagem demora uma hora para ser reforçada com o uso da combinação de disciplinas. Aqueles que não fazem parte da MMN devem manter Olhos do Caos (Demência nível 3) ativo enquanto concluem o reforço. Após reforçada, o efeito da tatuagem torna-se ativo para todos que a estejam vendo. E, pelo tempo de duração desse poder, ela despertará este sentimento àqueles que a veem. O portador da tatuagem recebe uma característica de bônus em todos os desafios sociais, contra aqueles que estiverem vendo a tatuagem. Esse poder não é cumulativo. O reforço e seu efeito, duram o mesmo tempo que a duração da tatuagem.
Para os que possuem Tempo Malkaviano e/ou fazem parte da Malkavian Madness Network (MMN), a tatuagem pode ser reconhecida com uma assinatura, estando ou não o tatuado conectado a MMN ou mesmo tendo ou não Tempo Malkaviano. Podendo ser identificado ou rastreado como um Malkaviano.
Alguém com Tempo Malkaviano alto (nível 4 ou mais), pode fazer um desafio mental estático contra uma dificuldade fixa dos mentais do tatuador, para descobrir quem confeccionou a tatuagem, analisando por um turno os padrões da tatuagem e o sentimento colocado pela Skin Madness, em caso de derrota, sofre uma penalidade de uma característica em todos os desafios mentais pela próxima cena ou hora, o que terminar antes.

System: The character spends a Blood Trait and engages the target in a contested Stamina-related Physical Challenge. The Kairos retests with Occult, while the target retest with Survival. If successful, the target is cast forward in time. They disappear from where they stand, and reappear in the same location after a number of days equal to the Physical Traits spent by the Kairos. If the target would reappear in a dangerous situation, they reappear in the closest safe place, instead. If used on one's self, the Kairos can determine when they reappear, through it must be within the month.

When a vampire understands the beast, they can dig into its core and begin to bring aspects of it to the surface, using it to deceive the perceptions of others.

System: With a the expenditure of a Will Power and a static social challenge, difficulty 15 minus their Self-Control/Instinct rating, retest Animalism, the user may commune with their beast and enforce their deception. The beast’s deception cloaking the individual conceals rituals, active Thaumaturgy, alters one’s aura in such a way to conceal deception, emotional state, forms, derangements, and even creature type to a degree. This deception works against powers such as Aura Perception, Mystic/Thaumaturgy Sight, See the Reflected Form, and other such similar powers. While this power is active their aura reads as frenzied; rapidly rippling colors, but no other information may be gleaned.
