MET Mechanics:

The passion of the Brujah is legendary, whether it is to inspire their allies or dishearten their foes. The Brujah amongst the anarch ranks have much to be passionate against, most of all those that would seek to rule over them. Regardless of their organization, those that would hide behind their status as a shield will soon find it a weapon turned against them. Engage the target in a social challenge, the associated ability for retest is politics. If the target is defeated, for the rest of the scene they are down social traits against the user equal to their status traits. (Max of 5)

Obfuscate 3
Thaumaturgy 5
MET Mechanics:

Anarchs throughout the world have to deal with a variety of issues. Members of specific Anarch paradigms are aware that stealth is very important when dealing with other factions of kindred. To do so to a greater extent this kindred has found a way to cast while under the effects of obfuscation to make it appear that they are not casting magic.

Mechanics: Spend a blood trait to activate this combo. Once activated for a scene or ten minutes the caster can cast magic upon themselves while under the effects of a mask. Unless someone is attempting to break obfuscate they will not be able to see the casting being done. This power has no effect on any magic that is offensive or targets anyone else beyond the caster herself.

Presence 3
Custom Discipline Requirements (Combination): Iron Heart
MET Mechanics:

Prerequisites: Iron Heart, Presence 3, Fortitude 5

Description: System: This power lowers the generation of the kindred who possesses it by one for the purposes of defending against Dominate and other powers that require a greater blood potency than the target. This power is defensive in nature and grants no additional benefits. This power also does not work against elder powers, only the basic through advanced levels of Dominate. Additionally, for the expenditure of a willpower point, up to two, the kindred using this power may reflexively lower their effective generation by an additional level for the remainder of the scene. In MET, this power costs 15 exp traits

Discipline Name Discipline Level
Potence 4
Presence 3
MET Mechanics:
 
Pre-Requisite: Iron Heart
Retest: :Leadership
 
Spend a blood trait and willpower trait to activate this power and engage your target in a social challenge. 
Your opponent defends normally and Iron Heart will not assist in that defense. 
 
If you win the challenge, your opponent receives the Brujah clan disadvantage for one night. 
If you also spend a temporary willpower before the challenge (this must be announced before the challenge) your target receives the Brujah clan disadvantage for one week; or If you also spend a permanent willpower before the challenge(this must be announced before the challenge), your opponent receives the Brujah clan flaw for one month. 
This power is particularly damaging to those with the Brujah Clan Disadvantage (Traditional Brujah, Kairos and those who take Clan Flaw Brujah)in that it doubles their Brujah Clan Flaw.
 
Note: One must be a Brujah, or have the traditional Brujah clan Disadvantage to learn this discipline. Needless to say that True Brujah, Dispassionate Brujah, Epicene Brujah, or those with Clan Flaw: True Brujah are not capable of learning it under any circumstances (even if they take the traditional clan flaw).

Protean 4
Fortitude 5
Potence 5
MET Mechanics:

Combining the powers of transformation, a endurance and strength over human, the skin is transformed into pure rock.

MET Mechanics:

Spending 1 blood points and a temporary point of willpower and taking 3 whole turns for the transformation, or shortening a turn for each extra spent blood spot, the skin becomes stiff and looks like stone. Each time the Gangrel receives damage from a source, this damage is reduced by 1, in addition it receives additional physical traits Rugged x2 and Resistant x1. Due to this transformation the Gangrel receives the negative trait Clumsy x1. This power is an obvious mask shatter and can not be used with Protean 4: The Shape of the Beast.

Protean 3
Fortitude 2
MET Mechanics:
Although most Gangrel are content to seek refuge in the soil, a few have tempered their power with stone-like resilience, allowing them to hide within solid rock. Excavation of such entombed individuals is all but impossible. 
System: This power operates exactly as the Protean 3 power Earth Meld, save that it allows a vampire to sink into stone. Such stone can have been shaped and carved by tools, though it must be a single continuous block or slab large enough to contain the vampire’s mass. If the stone containing the vampire is shattered, the vampire is expelled.

Celerity 4
Presence 5
MET Mechanics:

Like the eye of a storm, Brujah can find themselves at the heart of all manner of mayhem. This combination Discipline allows the character to push such a feat to its very limit by injecting frenetic energy into a crowd and turning it into a quick and deadly force.
System - Spend 1 Blood for each target and 1 Willpower. Characters following your leadership in combat targeted by this power are considered to have a number of levels of the Celerity Disciplines equal to yours for the scene. If they already have your Celerity or more, they instead gain a +2 bonus to Dexterity related challenges. While benefitting from this Combination Discipline, characters suffer a -1 penalty to Self Control/ Instinct challenges and gains the Impatient negative mental trait.

Dominate 3
Potence 2
MET Mechanics:

With this combo discipline the Vampire's beast becomes immune to the control of those with less potent blood. This puts the generation limits of Dominate on the powers of Animalism: Quell the Beast and Animalism: Drawing Out the Beast, making it so those trying to affect the Vampire with either of these two powers must be equal or better generation than the Vampire using this power. Once purchased, this power is always active and even works when someone is attempting to Quell you out of frenzy. Against those who have equal or better generation, this power allows for a free defensive retest.

Dominate 3
Potence 5
MET Mechanics:

As much as the beast is dangerous, it is also powerful. When focused properly, a vampire's beast is capable of extraordinary feats, including cowing the will of others into doing what it says, no matter the strength of the target's blood. As a kindred who spent centuries learning to walk beside their beast the Gangrel known as Kell found ways to focus the power of one's beast in miraculous ways. Kell's studies of the power of the beast helped him develop many combinations that draw upon that power.

System: Spend a temporary Willpower and make a self-control/Instinct challenge, retest Animal Ken, versus a difficulty of 5 traits. If successful the vampire using this power may take a temporary -1 to -3 to their self-control/instinct to draw upon the overwhelming strength of the beast, temporarily gaining the ability to meet or beat the normal generational limitations of Dominate or any other power that bases success off of the generation of a target. For purposes of comparing generations, defensively or offensively, the user of this power is considered to be a number of generations lower equal to the minus they took to their self-control/instinct. If the self-control/instinct challenge is lost, the vampire using this power automatically enters frenzy, if able to do so. A vampire that does not have access to their beast, for instance one that has used Drawing Out the Beast to force their beast into someone else, may not use this power, nor may they take a minus to their self-control/instinct that would take that virtue lower than 1. This power lasts one scene or an hour and may not allow the user to bypass the generation requirement against a vampire which has a true generation of 4th or lower.

Auspex 2
Celerity 2
MET Mechanics:

With this combination discipline a buddhist vampire can learn to focus inward losing their joints and muscles to make them far more nimble and agile.  The vampire learns to move at a faster right and focus their mind to keep them quick on their toes when in a fight.  Using auspex to be more aware of their surroundings and snap burst of speed from celerity the vampire gains a movement advantage over their opponents.
System:  Spend 1 Willpower and this power is active for one scene or an hour.  While active the character gains plus 3 steps of movement in combat.
