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.
When shapeshifting innately or via the use of any form changing powers as a catalyst, you can choose instead to turn into an enormous half-creature, half-man monster. The exact form and appearance taken is left up to the player, at storyteller discretion. When using this form the player character gains five named physical traits, do aggravated damage with unarmed brawling attacks via the appendages of the Cryptid form chosen, this should be specified with a storyteller and notated in the character sheet notes. While in this form, player characters suffer a -2 penalty on all challenges where they are on the defence (Physical, Social or Mental). While you may retain access to disciplines that your form would allow the use of you are also down two Self-Control when it comes to frenzy challenges. This is considered a form changing power and cannot be combined with other form changing powers.
