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.
| Discipline Name | Discipline Level |

| Fortitude | 2 |
| Visceratika | 3 |
Said to have been developed by a Gargoyle who observed a Ravnos passing wounds inflicted on her body onto an animal ghoul bound to her (see Lore of the Clans page 183), this power allows a Gargoyle to similarly reflect damage into a stone surface which he has recently bled upon, temporarily ‘ghouling’ it in the process. There are rumors of a more potent version of this combination discipline for those Gargoyle who have an established Haven and have dedicated monthly upkeep similar to one upkeep of a Retainer.
System: The power costs one blood point to activate, and must be used as a reflexive action after right after the Gargoyle has soaked what they can already using Viscerticka and Fortitude. The Gargoyle must also have bled (one blood point) upon the stone surface to be used (‘ghouling’ it) in the same night before he passes damage (an attack that causes them to bleed upon an appropriate surface will make this power possible for the next attack weathered). This surface must be within line of sight for this power to work.
They then make an extended static physical challenge, retest Athletics against 8 until they lose, immediately passing one level of taken damage for each success into the chosen surface. As they do so the stone they channel it into will receive physical damage reflective of that which the Gargoyle would have received: for bashing it will crack and crumble, for lethal great tears will slice deeply into the in surface, for aggravated the stone will violently explode away from the combat, for fire the stone will become scorched or even begin melting depending on the quantity of damage taken, and so on.
Requirements and Limits:
• You may only 'ghoul' one stone surface at a time.
• The stone surface needs to be of significant size to House the Gargoyle through their power of Stone Meld.
• Each blood trait spent to 'ghoul' the stone surface allows for the Gargoyle to create a pool of health levels within that stone equal to the Gargoyle's Survival ability rating which they may send their damage through.
• Each stone surface is limited to a single trait of blood to establish this pool.
• Once that pool of health levels are destroyed the surface used is destroyed and may not be used again until its been repaired.
• You may not use other Disciplines to augment the challenges for passing damage to the 'ghouled' stone surface. (Example: Potence for ties or Might.)

You can feel the echos of the heart. Any circumstance in which Dagon's Call criteria has been met you may expend a mental trait in order to know where (if at all) the heart is located in a body. This negates the third simple challenge for staking against the misplaced heart merit and also grants a single retest in staking challenges. This retest can only be used once per attempt to stake, not on each simple challenge.

Taken From the Malkavian Packet-
This power, once bought, is always active. Whenever someone attempts to use Telepathy or another power to read the mind of the Malkavian he may choose to bid one of his derangements instead of a Mental Trait. In the Challenge to establish telepathy or another power the Malkavian gains a number of bonus Mental Traits equal to the number of derangements (permanent + temporary) that he possesses. Should the Malkavian win the initiator of the power gains the derangement that was bid for the scene/hour in its active form though it may be suppressed as per standard rules.

Those who follow the Path of Cathari are master manipulators. Vampires of the Path developed this combination discipline to empower their skill in corruption, seduction, and manipulation to get others to engage in Vice. As agents of Sin they use this power to test those who would follow the light.
System: The character with this combination discipline spends 1 blood trait to activate it for the next scene or an hour. During that time the character gains a number of bonus traits in all Social challenges related to a corrupting an individual equal to their morality level of Path of Cathari halved (round down). These bonus traits only apply when the character is making challenges related to corrupting a target into vice.
This combination discipline only works if the character is on Path of Cathari.

The Gangrel draws portions of their bestial features to the fore and infuses them with the instinctual perceptions of their Beast, taking on the sensory biology of their animal forms (such as eagle eyes, a wolf's snout, etc.) for the duration. System: This power costs 1 Willpower to activate. For every level of Animalism the character possesses, the Gangrel gains one Perception-related Mental Trait. Due to the feral countenance this Wild Mind manifests in the Gangrel, they also suffer from the Negative Social Traits Bestial x2 and Feral. When the character activates this power, they must immediately test for Frenzy (difficulty equal to their Animalism rating), and they must make this test again at the beginning of each turn it remains active, though they may release the power at the end of their turn. The character may not spend a Willpower trait to avoid or delay this test, and they must be in possession of their Beast. Wise Gangrel take heed before employing this technique, as its public use is universally considered a breach of the Masquerade and will almost certainly draw unwanted attention. Wild Mind can be used in conjunction with other shapeshifting powers.

When using the powers of earth meld, the vampire spends an extra blood point to dissolve into mist beneath the earth, and by spending up to 1 will power,
the vampire is able to dispel and force the mist form through the earth for at least 50 meters from where it initially melds.
Allowing it to return to the surface at any point as long as it is surrounded by uninterrupted earth and within the 50-meter perimeter.
This power can only be used, in a location with continuous earth, any other type of material or wall that interrupt the path of the earth, prevents the vampire's movement
