Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Spend a mental trait to change one aspect of your blood. Common items are anything that can be uncovered with Taste of blood. as well as blood walk This power lasts the night. Additionally once per year the user is able to spend a permanent willpower to break any sympathetic links to him making Sympathetic links like blood or fetished items unable to be used against him in Thaumaturgy.

The character performs an elaborate ritual with another being, most often taking the form of a Catholic confession.  As the recipient speaks aloud their crimes, the character must interact with them in some way each time.  Some may whip their targets for each sin they've committed, some may kiss their forehead, others still may eat small pieces of bread dipped in their blood.  Regardless of the method used, the targets of this power feel their burdens lifted and find themselves with renewed purpose.

System: This power can only be used on a willing target.  At the culmination of the scene, as the target lists the final sin they wish to confess, they immediately lose one permanent Willpower.  However, they also immediately gain one permanent morality trait, which cannot go above their normal maximum.  No experience need be expended here, as the target is simply exchanging one for the other.

The character performing the Sin-Eating gains black veins in their aura as if they had diablerized, a mark of the sins they have taken within themselves.  They also gain one temporary Willpower, which may exceed their Generational maximum and lasts until the veins in their aura fade (which they do so as if the character had diablerized normally).  While the character may perform as many Sin-Eatings as they have time for, they cannot gain more temporary Willpower at one time than they have Conscience/Conviction traits.

Storytellers may also grant the character performing this power visions, nightmares, or even temporary Derangements based on the sins they have consumed and whom they have used it on.

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.
