Custom Combination Discipline / Technique
Some chronicles allow for their players to develop customized powers for their characters. The following is a compilation of player created custom content in OWBN. At this time, custom content that is created and/or used by vampire PC's is required to be listed.

Spend One Social Trait per attack
You may choose to forego any or all your physical action(s) (Normal, Alacrity, and followups) to produce a glistening dagger of abyssal darkness that you may then throw at your foe at range. Targeting your foe requires a mental vs physical action and retests with Occult you you and either dodge or survival for your target (as appropriate to their risked trait for the challenge). The dagger disappears after the action it is thrown regardless of the success of your challenge to hit.
If you are successful, your target takes two levels of aggravated damage that bypass armor. They may soak or reduce this damage normally.

Description: You have learned to apply the lessons behind Burning Wrath in different ways and are able to channel your chi into your strikes. With this power, your punches or kicks compress and ionize the air in front of them. When you connect with your target, this causes an electrical discharge, and a loud popping sound, which gives the power its name.
Mechanics: Spend one blood to activate for a full round. When you hit with an attack that uses hard style martial arts, or brawl, you stun your target momentarily and cause them to lose their next action. While this power is active, your applicable attacks gain the negative trait Loud and you gain Scent of Ozone (treat like Smell of the Grave).
Restrictions: This power can only be taught by Brujah with Burning Wrath. To learn this power you must have Hard Style Martial Arts x3 (or Brawl 5 with a specialty in a martial art for games that don't allow martial arts).

| Auspex | 2 |
| Voudoun Wanga - Serpents of the Light | 5 |
Requires: Chango's Grace 5
A true imitation of Oya's dance across the battlefield, Thunder Step allows a Cainite to surge forward and cover great distance by transforming themselves into living lightning. This power can be used to increase 'jump' distance or height, as well as to attack an opponent who is out of normal melee range. When moving, you can cover six yards of distance per level of Auspex. In order to attack an opponent in this way, a normal physical challenge is still required, though the resulting attack cannot be dodged and must be soaked due to the speed at which the Cainite is moving. This power requires a normal action to use.

With this power, vampire can levy a powerful curse over a character. The curse gives the vampire power over the character, but only if the character lies. If she does, the liar becomes vampire’s puppet, her mouth becoming bloody as if she has bitten her lip or tongue. Not only is this disconcerting for others involved, Pope can also choose to see through her eyes for the remainder of the scene or burn out her forked tongue.
System: Engage your target in a contested Mental Challenge retested with Intimidation. For the next scene or an hour; if the target lies you may perform another contested Mental challenge retested with Intimidation against the target. If you succeed and the target has lied you may choose what their next immediate action is. However this action cannot force the target to harm themselves in any way. Additionally, you may concentrate and look through the eyes of the liar for the next scene or an hour. When you are doing so though, you are completely blind to your own surroundings. You may only have one use of Tongue of the Pope Active at a time.

Prerequisites: Attunement, Auspex 4,
Description: “He took up the sword once again, feeling its familiar weight and shape. He knew it intimately from when he crafted it, putting all his knowledge into its creation. But he had learned more. He spoke to the blade, in his mind the sound of his voice materializing as glowing bands that surrounded the bare metal. He saw its pattern and began to work in his new knowledge, strengthening and purifying the blade.”
System: This power allows the use of all others that stem from Attunement upon an object that has previously been created by the craftsman. Initially spending a willpower, and then a blood to activate Attunement, the crafter may then spend one blood per two effects they wish to impart upon the object. This blood does not need to be spent in one turn. Upon completion, a second willpower must be spent for the craftsman to use The Bond Breaks and ending the power. While this power is active, any wards upon the object do not affect the crafter. This power requires 10 minutes to complete and may not be used during combat. This power cannot be used to destroy an object.
In MET, this power costs 12exp traits

Powers, Abilities, and Knowledge can have great value, especially when rare or unique. As such there will be times where you may wish to teach a trusted ally or associate something new, but you want to ensure they do not further spread it to others. Being the “Masters of Business” they are, the Ventrue have found a way to ensure their agreements are upheld.
MET: The teacher and student must shake hands, and each spend one blood and one willpower to form a binding agreement. Once the agreement is established and the teaching has begun, the student is unable to reveal, willingly or otherwise, what has been learned. If attempts to reveal the information are made, it will be presented in an incomprehensible manner only growing more so as the attempt persists. Additionally, the teacher will become aware of any attempts to extract or teach the power, ability, or knowledge. At any time, the teacher may, under their own free and unencumbered will, temporarily suspend the agreement to allow the student a single approved teaching to another or spend a Willpower to permanently end the restriction.
