Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Many Tzimisce and Eastern European legends about vampires speak of them collapsing into a
swarm of bats to fly off into the night in almost an instant. In truth, this combination discipline
was developed by several tzimisce generations ago. By using the arts of Fleshcrafting and
combining them the animalistic nature of animalism; the Tzimisce can force his blood to change
is body into a small flock of bats that can descend through the night.

System: The player must spend two blood to effect the change. Which takes three turns to
complete. During this time the character may take no other action, and no transition of any kind
is apparent in her form. At the end of the turn, her body simply bursts into a number of bats
equal to the maximum number of blood points the character can hold. (For example, an
8 th generation character using this power would explode into 15 separate bats.). Alternatively,
the player may opt to transform instantaneously, but does so at a cost of five blood traits rather
than two. Individuals assuming the Swarm of Chiroptrea are nearly impossible to destroy. Every last bat must first be located, as the character may reform later if even a single bat remains. This
transformation lasts until the character wills herself to assume normal form once again, which
takes another three turns.

Requirements: Auspex 4, Obfuscate 3, Presence 2, Dementation 2

Drawing on what truly terrifies your target, you appear to them to be an image of terror from their own nightmares. They can do nothing but cower before you until you decide to release them from the horror or you are interrupted.

Sword: pulls from the mind of the target, and uses obfuscate to wrap up as the nightmare. This is potentially visible to others.
Shield: projects it into the mind of the target, but not is not visible to others; telepathy and the haunting give a targeted, personalized experience.

MET System: Spent 1 WP and select a target within line of sight as well as which option (sword or shield). If you win a social challenge (retest Intimidation) against them, in their eyes you become something they fear immensely. They can initiate no challenges, but can defend normally, as long as you maintain line of sight and concentrate on using this power. You can take no additional actions but can defend normally. If either you or your target takes damage, the power ends. For the remainder of the scene, your target suffers a 2-trait penalty against you in all challenges.

Combining Chimerstry and Auspex, the user imbues the aura of an item they have personally crafted with the knowledge and experience of an ability they know. Anyone who uses The Spirit's Touch on this item gains the benefit of this knowledge and experience, receiving a single free retest when using the imbued ability over the course of the remainder of the evening. A user may only be under the effect of this power once a night, even if there are multiple sources of the power. A user may apply Sympathetic Inspiration to a max of 5 items at any time. If another item is imbued after that, the user must choose one of the previous items to lose the effect.

The Ravnos are known for being able to cause illusions and pain. Some say it adds to their mystery, their danger, or even confusion as to what is and isn’t real. Either way, the end times have brought upon higher threats than swords and spears. This version of Sympathy instead forces the wielder of powers to fear what backlash may return.

System: Much like Sympathetic Agony, this power requires the user to be targeted by a power of some sort (not to include physical strikes. Though, carrier attacks that require touch do work). With the expenditure of a blood and a content challenge, using Chim rules (which is a neutral social challenge not influencing, altering, or swaying the target) the wielder may return the power back at its user. All powers and effects also affect them (damage being like Agony; instead causing wound penalties). This follows all the rules of Chim, which means a contested challenge (against the user of this power as the defender) and this power can be disbelieved

This power once learned is considered always active. When invoking Level 5 Abombwe, the user must spend a willpower, otherwise it fails to function. The user gains perception relation mental traits of the victim in the same fashion they gain traits normally from invoking level 5 Abombwe.
