Custom Path of Enlightenment
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.
Developed by the Deva Sadhu, this path was gifted to them for their devotion to their gods. This devotion granted them divine knowledge how to mix holy herbs and spices with their own vitae to make potent potions of a type of Blood Alchemy. While it takes time to create potions from this path, they do grant the Sadhu a bit of divine fortune for some time once consumed, and since they are made with Vitae even kindred can consume them. Only those Sadhu who are of the Deva faction of Sadhanna users are taught this path. The Asura are often shunned by the gods to consider granting their favor to them. The Path of the Deva’s Favor may not stack with the Path of Orisha’s Fortune and vice versa. You gain only the benefits of one or the other, never both at the same time. Each level of this path requires 5 Minutes of crafting and the resources to be able to utilize it. You may only ever have a number of active potions from this path available equal to your permanent Willpower Rating. Since this power uses the caster’s blood, any who consume it risk the blood bond as normal.
•Blessing of the Deva

This allows the Sadhu to call upon the Deva for direct Intervention in their next action once consumed or those others who may consume it.. With an offering of blood and prayer the Sadhu becomes more likely to succeed at the next immediate thing they do.
