| Potence | 1 |
| Dementation | 3 |
Social Graces allows the kook to reset their social appearance by peering into and pulling an unused version of themselves from within the cracks of reality.
Mechanics: This power allows the kook to refresh their social attributes (beguiling, commanding, ingratiating, persuasive) once a night. Using social graces costs nothing, does not cost an action, and can be done at any time. This power functions like Prowess except that it affects the social attribute category instead of the physical attribute category.

| Fortitude | 2 |
Sonic Flight (Flight ••, Potence ••, Fortitude ••)
The power of flight is one of the reasons that the Gargoyles have existed for so long. Usually, they can only fly at a speed regulated by their mastery of Flight. This combination allows them to apply some of their other natural skills to allow for high sustained speeds for travel purposes only.

After many casualties at the hands of the Giovanni's greatest weapon, a method was devised to utilize the skills of Vicissitude to graft one's soul to their body so it cannot be removed by any means.
System: You may spend one blood to graft your soul to your body. This process happens immediately however you loose one temporary willpower in the the process, if you have no temporary willpower when you activate this power you fall into torpor. For the next hour, if your soul would leave your body for any reason you instead take one level of unsoakable lethal damage and your soul remains in your body. While in effect, this power would prevent the user from uses Astral Projection, Subsume the Spirit, or Possession.

By winning a mental challenge, this power allows its user to tattoo or write on someone's aura. The message is visible to any kindred using aura perception, directed at the target even if the underlying challenge is unsuccessful. The tattoo can be no more than three words or simple images in length per use of this power. Multiple uses of this discipline are possible, soul tattoos can be stacked or added on top on each other, much like a wall can be layered with graffiti, a canvas or skin might hold multiple layers of words / images.
Multiple uses of this discipline on a single aura may make aura precepting the target more difficult by two traits down on aura perception challenges, if the aura perceptor and the target are not well known to each other. If both the preceptor and the target are well known to each other, it has no effect on the ability to read an aura. Well known, is per storyteller discretion.
To apply a tattoo, the Toreador must be within six feet of the target and be able to concentrate for one full round. Speaking with the target while performing this action does not break concentration. The Toreador need not have any craft's ability, she only needs to be able to vividly visualize the outcome. The associated ability for rests is subterfuge. If the target is incapacitated or torpored, than she relents to all uses this discipline.
The tattoo lasts until the target burns a single temporary willpower trait, to erase up to three words or images per temporary willpower expended. In order to remove a tattoo, the target must first be aware of the tattoo by being informed that their aura has been altered. An altered aura is visible via the rules of aura perception. A kindred with aura perception may view their tattoo by leaving their body via astral projection, the tattoo does not leave the area of their body. The knowledge of the tattoo must be coupled with a strong desire for its removal. Alternately it will stay in place indefinitely, if the target is not aware of the tattoo, or unwilling to believe it exists, or the target may simply want to keep it as a personal work of art.

Soul's Anchor in the Flesh: 7 xp
(Auspex 5, Dominate 5)
Having learned many techniques to manipulate his soul outside of his body the creaator of this technique made it to protect his soul within his body. This power can be reflexivly activated anytime that the vampires soul is seperated from his body. The power is invoked by thowing a simple test (win or tie) retest with Meditation and WP. If sucsesful the Kindred's soul returns to his body avoiding possible negitave ramifications of the danger outside of his body. This technique can only be used once per threat.
Examples include:
Possesion/Subsume suit is suddenly killed: Vampire's sould returns to body avoiding torpor and the damage from the killing blow
Astral's silver cord is severed: Vampire's soul returns to body avoiding torpor

None will dare to challenge you, as your Beast serves to show your ultimate mastery over your prey as the ultimate kindred sovereign.
System: Expend 1 WP for the duration of a scene or an hour and engage a social challenge with the Kindreds that can see your char in order to use this power. All those who fail gains Submissive x2 (cannot receive more submissive for further uses of discipline) and may not insult or attack you. Furthermore, targets as long as they may see you and may not use WP for a retest.
| Discipline Name | Discipline Level |
|---|---|
| Auspex | 1 |
| Potence | 3 |
| Temporis | 5 |
Speed of Sight
Auspex 1, Potence 3, Temporis 5
12xp
The incredible bursts of motion and thought Temporis allows for are not truly an increase in speed, but a dilation of time around the Kairos. Because of this, the manual dexterity and athleticism common among those with Celerity often eludes practitioners of Temporis. With the prediction of Auspex and the sheer force of Potence however, a Kairos can become capable of nearly similar feats.
System: The Kairos spends one Blood Trait and makes a Static Physical Challenge against 12 traits, retested with Occult. If successful, the Kairos' Temporis levels are considered equivalent levels of Celerity for the purposes of Initiative and Fair Escape for the remainder of the turn. If the Kairos fails this Static Challenge, they cannot activate Speed of Sight for the remainder of the scene.
| Discipline Name | Discipline Level |
|---|---|
| Auspex | 1 |
| Celerity | 3 |
Speed is often the deciding factor in any battle. As a result, members of the Ironclad are taught to react in a moment’s notice. To strike first before their enemy can. By heightening their own sense and combining them with the supernatural speed of celerity; it is rare for any member of the Ironcladto not be the first to land a blow.
System: This combination discipline costs one blood trait to activate. When this is done the character is considered to have plus ten traits for purposes of Initiative only. This bonus to Initiative may exceed attribute caps and maximums. This power may not stack with itself

| Celerity | 3 |

Instead of having Arms of the Abyss attack on the Normal action phase you may opt for them to Attack during Celerity actions that occur later in the round. To have an Arm act on a Celerity action you must have that level of Celerity yourself. Each Arm still only gets one attack but if you have 5 Arms active and Legerity or better you may choose to have 2 act on Normal, 1 act on Swiftness and 2 act on Legerity.
