Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

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.

"Force my friends is violence, the the supreme authority from which all other authorities derive"

Sometimes, sometimes someone just won't do what you tell them. You try to be nice. You try to talk it out. But sometimes your fists or a convenient tire iron have to join in the conversation to help get your point across.

System: Spend 1 wp and declare a target within line of sight. For the remainder of the scene every time you hit them with a melee or brawl based attack, you get +1 trait to uses of Dominate against them for the remainder of the scene and are considered to have eye contact with them for the purposes of using dominate against them until the end of the next round on any round you or an ally within your line of sight has inflicted damage on your target via a brawl or melee based attack, though you must be able to verbalize your commands as normal. For the purposes of combination disciplines if a combination's dominate requirement is the highest required discipline it is considered a use of dominate.

Mechanics: this combo discipline can only be used when you have successfully tested down damage from an attack using fortitude. Spend a temporary willpower to activate for a scene or hour. When you test down damage your skin crackles and arch's with electricity.  Granting the user damage reduction equal to the user levels of fortitude. This power only manifest when fighting the true enemies of the sword (7gen or lower and anyone who is actively under the Auctoritas Ritae Wild Hunt)

Often times the larger or stronger an individual is, the more outspoken or intimidating they become. With this power, a Kindred may temporarily sacrifice some of their strength to strengthen their social resolve.

System: By temporarily expending up to three Strength related physical traits, the user of this power gains that many bonus traits on all Social challenges. This power lasts a scene or an hour and the traits expending may be regained by normal means listed in the book.

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.
