Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Description: “And the master looked down the edge of the blade one final time, having poured his blood, sweat, and tears into the warm metal. He steeled himself, taking a steady breath as he turned the sword, offering the hilt to its new master.”
System: Spending a willpower upon the successful completion of crafting an item severs ties between it and the crafter, making sure the object cannot be used as a personal object and allowing the crafted item to be safely handed over to another individual.
In MET, this power costs 12 exp traits

Shroud goes up, and the swirling vortex becomes the nightmare of Haunting. While inside the shoud you are under the effects of hunting and will be drained of one willpower a round. Exiting the shroud causes the effect to cease,  remaining in the shroud begins to drain willpower until the target passes out (or dies if mortal). Cost to activate is 2 blood 1willpower

Ability Requirement: Shadowcrafting 3+

This combination of the blood was pioneered by a certain musically inclined Lasombra Antitribu. Often times one must do a solo performance, however with this combination the Antitribu need not worry about gathering a band to perform with. The user simply summons his arms of the abyss and molds them to be the assistants he needs.

System: The Lasombra spends a Blood and a variable number of social traits equal to the number of shades they manifest out of their Obtenebration. Then makes a Shadowcrafting challenge equal to 8 + the desired performance level. After which these shades last for a single scene or hour and are treated as extensions of the summoner. During this time, these shades may use use the performances the Lasombra himself knows, allowing a lone Lasombra to be his own band.

This combination is only able to be used for purposes of performances and may not be used in other ways such as combat.

This was developed by the PC, Thornton. In order for another character (PC or NPC) to learn this power, they must be able to trace their knowledge back to Dr. Thornton. While psychology over time has shown how the mind reacts to stimuli in interestingly variable ways, this discipline takes  advantage of the basis behind muscular use controlled by the brain. By the sheer overwhelming of the mind's control through the nervous system, the subject finds their body fighting against itself from the inside, with no way to resist the internal damage without completely locking up the body; causing muscles to pull against each other, tearing at tendons, and locking up joints. Blades and bullets are not the only weapons when one’s mind can be convinced that its own body is the enemy.

System: To unleash this power upon another, line of sight (unaided; it will not work through remote cameras, rituals, etc., but while manifested from Psychic Projection or while in Possession) from user to target must be established, expend a Blood Trait and a Willpower, entering a contested Mental Challenge with your target, retests being Psychology.

If the Challenge is successful, the user may then expend a number of Mental Traits up to half their permanent Willpower rating (rounded down) to cause that many levels of Lethal damage to the target, which only one point can only be soaked (i.e. Resistance, as all the damage is considered from a single source), but may be prevented with powers that grant an immunity from damage.

Limitations are that it is ineffective against non-bodied beings (Astral Projecting, Soul Stolen, Wraiths, etc.), and has no effect on those in an incapacitated state. Their mind is too dormant to cause it to fight against the body. It also has an interesting side-effect on those possessing a being; all damage done to the “suit” with this power is not sympathetically taken by the possessor.

NOTE: Access to this power through Possession would be at the 4-Trait level along with Dementation.

Repeated contact with the influence of the Eye of Hazimel has influenced the user of this combination power to the point of both great insight, and great fear. With focus, and something to divine, the user of The Eye Sees All can divine the universe to seek great success. When focusing on an issue at hand, or an item that they are currently holding, the wielder may pull upon the latent powers of the universe to reveal its secrets. This combination is a reward from the Hazimel plot, and may not be taught by the player once learned.

System: This combination power costs a willpower and a blood to use. Once activated, the user's eye turns solid gold, and gives them the flaw one eye for the remainder of the scene. Though they can no longer see through the eye itself, they now may ask the storyteller for an answer to a question about the task at hand, or item they possess. This power may only be used on any one task, or item, once. All answers are at ST discretion, but should actively help the player solve the task they are working on.
