Custom Merit
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.
Flowing from any kind of Martial arts to Brawling or Melee has been a difficult subject for many. Flowing from a practiced hands to instinctual movement can't be accomplished by many and those that do are surely monsters devoted to combat.
With this merit you may flow seamlessly from brawling and melee to martial arts allowing character to possess Brawl, Martial arts, and other combat abilities may seemless switch between any combat ability in the the same combat, despite rules stating otherwise, in challenges where the abilities would be applicable (brawl and hard style for punching, melee and martial arts weapon style for a katana, etc.).
The dedication combat radiates in their being to the point that non supernatural mortals are on edge around such an individual. Mostly mortals subconciously avoid this individual, if confronted a non-supernatural mortal may react by uncontrollably shaking, begging for their life, or crying at the site of the individual, etc. In game terms those with this merit reduce their influence pool by the combined total of Brawl, Melee, Martial arts styles and generally any combat ability they possess. After the influence pool is depleted it can extend to any background mortal in nature at ST discretion.
