 ADVANCED
DISCIPLINES
Discipline powers in Vampire: The Masquerade
5th Edition normally range between levels 1 to 5,
and these powers adequately represent most of the
Children of Caine's supernatural abilities. At
times, however, a Storyteller feels the need to
bestow especially powerful and ancient Kindred in
their Chronicles with abilities beyond the ken of
ancilla or even elders that have not yet touched
their first millennium. For these Kindred, I present
Advanced Discpline Powers for V5. Some of these
powers are inspired by those from previous
editions of Vampire and others are entirely new.
These advanced powers are intended for use with
Storyteller NPCs, but if the player characters in
General Rules
e
your Chronicle are especially old or powerful, these
powers may be appropriate for their use as well.
pl
Advanced Discipline powers work a little
differently than normal Discipline powers. Instead
of purchasing additional dots in a Discipline above
5 and gaining one power for each of those dots,
you instead purchase these powers directly. You
can only purchase Advanced Powers if you have 5
m
dots in the Discipline and meet the blood potency
prerequisite for the power. Advanced Powers are
purchased at an experience rate of 10 times the
dot­rating of the power.
Advanced Discipline powers otherwise follow the
normal rules for Disciplines, including the
Sa
Amalgam rules.
Advanced Animalism
e
Level 6: BLOOD ECHO
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 5
The user extends their senses through the minds
and bodies of the creatures that bear their blood.
fil
This power can allow the user to observe at
incredible distances using the senses of their
ghouled animals.
• Dice Pools: Composure + Animalism
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: Merely possessing this power
greatly magnifies the range of the user's Feral
Whispers, allowing them to communicate with
animals they are familiar with who are up to 10
miles away. Additionally, the user can make a Rouse
Check to attune their senses to the whispering
echoes of their Blood as it beats through the
bodies of animals they have ghouled, no matter
where they are in the world. The user makes a
Composure + Animalism test against a Difficulty
set by the storyteller (generally, a difficulty of 4
for a separation less than 50 miles, 5 for 50­500
miles, 7 for 500­1000 miles, 10 for 1000 or more)
to connect with an individual creature that has
tasted their vitae.
If they succeed, they can communicate
with that animal using their Feral Whispers and
may target it with Subsume the Spirit. While this
power lasts, the user can contact as many animals
that have tasted their vitae as they wish, but must
make a new test for each one.
• Duration: One scene
Level 7: CONQUER THE BEAST
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 6
Kindred with this power have achieved a
remarkable mastery over their Beast, allowing
them to enter or leave a Frenzy at will.
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: When you activate this ability,
you can choose to either enter a Frenzy of a type
of your choice, or to end a current Frenzy. If you
fail the Rouse Check while in a Hunger Frenzy at 5
Hunger, you immediately fall into torpor.
 Additionally, you may activate this ability
to negate the effects of Bestial Failures and Messy
Criticals for a scene.
• Duration: One scene
Level 8: TAUNT THE CAGED BEAST
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 7
This power allows Kindred to stoke the rage and
hunger of the Beast in the blood of other Kindred,
provoking them to frenzy without ordinary
provocation.
• Dice Pools: Manipulation + Animalism
vs. Composure + Resolve
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: You can use this ability on a
Kindred that you can see, making a Manipulation
+ Animalism test against the target's Composure
+ Resolve. If you win this contest, you force the
target to enter a Frenzy of a type you choose.
• Duration: Until the Frenzy ends
Level 9: FREE THE BEAST WITHIN
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 8
e
Kindred with this power are able to exert a
measure of control over themselves while in a
Frenzy, capitalizing on their Beast's natural
ferocity.
pl
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: You may activate this power only
while in a Frenzy. While it is active, you do not
suffer the normal restrictions against spending
Willpower or mental Disciplines while in a Frenzy,
and if you take Willpower damage to control
m
yourself during that Frenzy, you heal that damage
when the Frenzy ends.
• Duration: Until the end of the current
Frenzy
Level 10: EYES OF THE FOREST
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
Sa
At this level of Animalism, the user is able to make
their mind one with the minds of all animals
within several miles, seeing through their eyes and
hearing with their ears.
• Dice Pools: Composure + Animalism
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: While this power is active, you
may make a Composure + Animalism test to detect
creatures, search for objects or locations, or
otherwise perceive goings­on within 10 miles of
you. The information you can gain from this ability
is restricted to that which you could gain from the
senses of the animals in the area; it is limited by
their natural senses (for instance, a worm or a
spider cannot eavesdrop on a conversation for you),
and by the distribution of the animals in the area.
Additionally, while you are in your Haven,
creatures moving through the territory
immediately around your Haven and not shielded
by Obfuscate must succeed on a Difficulty 4
Dexterity + Stealth test or cause you to be
automatically alerted to their movements. This
effect functions passively, active at all times after
e
your purchase this power.
• Duration: One scene
fil
Advanced Auspex
Level 6: THE DREAMING
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 5
Kindred with this power transcend some of the
normal limitations of torpor and day­sleep. Their
bodies become unresponsive like those of other
Kindred, but their minds remain vibrant and alert.
• Cost: None
• System: Once you have this power, you no
longer fall completely unconscious while you are in
torpor or day­sleep. Your body is unresponsive, but
your mind may reach out and touch those of the
creatures around you, granting you glimpses of
insight into their thoughts, feelings, and activities.
The shape that this takes depends on your
particular specialization within the Auspex
Discipline.
If you have Clairvoyance, consider yourself
to be in constant use of the ability while in day­
sleep or torpor. If you have Telepathy, you may
telepathically converse with those near your body
(within a city block or two) without restriction, but
may not use the Telepathy power's more invasive
features. If you have Possession, you may take a
point of Superficial Willpower damage in order to
use the power to possess a mortal near your body.
When used in this way, none of these powers
require line of sight.
• Duration: Passive
Level 7: SPIRIT LINK
Prerequisite: Telepathy, Blood Potency 6
This power allows the user to communicate
telepathically at great distances, and with multiple
targets simultaneously.
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Auspex
• Cost: One Rouse Check (in addition to
 one for Telepathy)
• System: While this power is active, you
may use Telepathy without line of sight and on
multiple targets simultaneously, even allowing
your targets to converse telepathically with each
other using your mind as the medium. If you seek
to use Telepathy on truly distant targets (more
than a mile away), the Storyteller may require you
to do a Resolve + Auspex test against a Difficulty
they set based on the target's distance from you.
The maximum distance this power can allow you
to use Telepathy is 50 miles.
• Duration: One scene
Level 8: PSYCHIC ASSAULT
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 7
The Kindred unleashes a blast of mental energy
on a target, searing their mind and will.
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Auspex vs.
Composure + Resolve (or Auspex if the target has
dots in it)
• Cost: One Rouse Check
e
• System: When you activate this power,
you choose one target you can see and attempt to
blast their mind with psychic energy. Make a
Resolve + Auspex roll contested by their
Composure + Resolve (or Auspex if the target
pl
possesses dots in Auspex). If you win, you deal
Superficial damage to the target's Willpower equal
to the margin.
If this damage fills up the target's
Willpower tracker with Aggravated damage, they
die (if mortal), or enter torpor (if a vampire).
m
• Duration: One attack
Level 9: THE MIND'S EYE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 8
This power allows the user to scry on events
transpiring at great distances from them.
• Dice Pools: Intelligence + Auspex
Sa
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: When you activate this power,
make an Intelligence + Auspex test against a
Difficulty set by the Storyteller to attempt to
project your consciousness out of your body and
to another part of the world. The Difficulty
should depend on the location's distance from you
and any wards against magical intrusion that may
be present.
If successful, you may experience the
target location as though you were present,
although you cannot affect anything and you give
no sign that your mind is there. While this power
is active, you are unaware of all sensations from
your physical body except sudden pain.
Users of Auspex powers can detect your
projected presence, but you may conceal it with
Obfuscate powers if you possess them.
• Duration: One scene
Level 10: PULSE OF THE CANAILLE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
Kindred with this power are able to tap into the
e
collective subconscious of the mortals in an area,
learning their attitudes, concerns, trends,
perspectives, and sensing the presence of any
blood bonds or other supernatural chains that may
fil
be binding them.
• Dice Pools: Composure + Auspex
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: Make a Composure + Auspex
test when you activate this power, the result
determining your success at synthesizing the
massive influx of mental information you receive
from the mortals around you. This power can
grant understanding of social movements, modern
perspectives, even new technologies to the Kindred
who uses it.
Additionally, if you pass a hidden Difficulty
set by the Storyteller, you gain an intuitive sense
for the blood bonds and other supernatural
dominations that exist within the mortal
population in your area. If you gain enough
successes, you might immediately learn the exact
identities of one or more thrall and regnant pairs
or the content of a submerged directive still lying
dormant in a mortal's mind.
Repeated use of this power can allow elder
vampires to adapt to modern perspectives and
technology, potentially allowing them to remove
the Archaic flaw.
• Duration: One scene
 Advanced Celerity
Level 6: QUICKNESS OF PULSE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 5
Users of advanced Celerity are simply able to do
more, more quickly.
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: When you activate this power,
you can immediately take another turn in addition
to your current one (activating Quickness does not
count as your action for the current turn). You may
only take one extra turn per round with this
power, and it takes place in the same amount of
time as the rest of the round.
• Duration: One turn
Level 7: FLOWER OF DEATH
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 6
This power allows you to invest your attacks with
supernatural speed, bypassing defenses before they
can even be brought to bear.
• Cost: One Rouse Check
e
• System: While this power is active, you
add your Celerity rating to Dexterity­based
attacks (such as with archery, guns, rapiers,
throwing daggers, etc.).
pl
• Duration: One scene
Level 8: STUTTER­STEP
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 7
Kindred with this power simply seem to flicker in
and out of existence for a moment, avoiding
attacks faster than the eye can see.
m
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: While this power is active, you
gain 3 automatic successes on dodge tests, and you
do not suffer a penalty for dodging multiple times
on your turn.
• Duration: One scene
Sa
Level 9: TIRELESS TREAD
Prerequisite: Fleetness, Blood Potency 8
Users of this power are able to match the speed of
modern vehicles for hours at a time.
• Dice Pools: Stamina + Celerity
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: When you activate this power,
you gain the ability to run at incredible speeds for
a time. Make a Stamina + Celerity test to
determine how long you can keep up this speed;
each success grants you half an hour of sprinting
at speeds that compete with slower highway
vehicles (50­60 mph). On a critical win, this power
lasts for the rest of the night.
• Duration: Variable
Level 10: BETWEEN THE SECONDS
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
At this level of Celerity, the user is almost
impossible to contend with by anyone who does
not possess a comparable rating in the Discipline.
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
e
• System: While this power is active, all
attacks against you automatically fail, except those
made using Unerring Aim or Lightning Strike ­
against which you defend (or counter attack)
fil
normally.
• Duration: One scene
Advanced Dominate
Level 6: IMPLANT OPINION
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 5
This power allows the user to embed core beliefs,
opinions, or personality traits into a victim, leaving
them profoundly altered and without any
awareness that the change is more than natural.
• Dice Pools: Manipulation + Dominate
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: You describe to the victim the
nature of the change you wish to implant within
them when you use this power. Against a mortal
victim, the Storyteller will set a Difficulty based on
how contrary to the victim's nature the trait to be
implanted is; a vampire may resist using
Intelligence + Resolve against your test of
Manipulation + Dominate. On a win, your
described trait is incorporated into the victim's
core being.
You can also use this ability to remove
traits from the victim using the same rules.
However, when you succeed on such a check, the
victim takes Aggravated Willpower damage equal
to 4 ­ the margin on the test to a minimum of 1.
• Duration: Permanent
Level 7: STRINGS OF THE MARIONETTE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 6
Vampires with this power display the uncanny
ability to puppeteer staked or torpid vampires.
• Dice Pools: Manipulation + Dominate
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: Activating this power allows you
to extend your use of Mesmerize to a single staked
 or torpid vampire, manipulating them like a
puppet. Make a Manipulation + Dominate test
against a Difficulty of 4. On a win, you can use
Mesmerize on the target for the rest of the scene;
on a critical win, you do not need to re­use this
power to continue to use Mesmerize on the staked
or torpid vampire in the future, provided they have
not been un­staked or awakened from torpor since
the critical win.
The vampire victim automatically fails
their test against your use of Mesmerize and
carries out your commands automatically and
explicitly, without giving any true signs of
consciousness or moving more than is absolutely
required for the task. When the command has been
carried out, they return to the absolute stillness
imposed by their torpidity or stake.
• Duration: One scene (indefinite on a
critical win)
Level 8: FAR MASTERY
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 7
having eye contact. e
This power allows a vampire to command victims
without even being in the same room, much less
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Dominate
• Cost: One Rouse Check (plus the cost for
pl
the power augmented)
• System: Activate this power when you
use another Dominate ability, such as Mesmerize.
You ignore the normal limitations of Dominate,
including the requirement for eye contact; indeed,
it is not even necessary for the victim to hear you.
m
At most, this power can allow you to command
victims in the same city ­ not beyond that limit.
• Duration: One scene
Level 9: CARRY THE MASTER'S VOICE
Prerequisite: Submerged Directive, Blood Potency 8
This power allows the user to imbue a thrall with
Sa
the intensity of their commands. Such thralls may
issue commands with the power of their master's
Dominate behind them.
• Cost: As the power embedded
• System: When you use Submerged
Directive, you can choose to embed the power of
one of your own commands into your thrall for
later use. Decide what command and power you
will embed within your thrall; pay the cost and roll
any test required for the power immediately
(record the results).
Next, specify the conditions under which
your thrall should activate the command. For
example, if you chose to grant them the command
"Defend me," you could instruct them to use it
only when in mortal danger. When they do use it,
they use your results for the test and any
augmentations to Dominate you activated when
you used this power (such as Mass Manipulation),
but are otherwise considered to be the one
activating the power.
You may embed multiple Dominate
commands within a single thrall with this power.
e
• Duration: Until used
Level 10: TYRANT'S GLANCE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
fil
This power allows the user to supernaturally rend
a victim's confidence in their own abilities.
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Dominate vs.
Composure + Resolve
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: Make a Resolve + Dominate test
against the victim's Composure + Resolve and
choose Physical, Social, or Mental attributes. On a
win, the victim's attributes of the chosen category
are reduced by a number equal to the margin on
the contest (to a minimum of 1).
On a critical win, this effect lasts
indefinitely. The victim may restore their attributes
by one dot per night by succeeding on a
Composure + Resolve test of Difficulty 3. The
victim may only make one such attempt per night.
• Duration: One scene (indefinite on a
critical win)
Advanced Fortitude
Level 6: ARMOR OF KINGS
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 5
This power grants supernatural inflexibility to the
user's flesh, causing blows to bounce off and
weapons to shatter on impact.
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: While active, you may roll
Stamina + Athletics + Fortitude when dodging. If
an attack with a weapon fails to do damage to you
while this power is active, the weapon is destroyed
unless supernaturally preserved against
destruction; swords shatter on your iron flesh,
bullets ricochet back to explode the gun they
emerged from, clenched fists crunch as their bones
crumble against your immovable jaw, etc. The only
exception to this is damage dealt with fire.
• Duration: One scene
 Level 7: INDOMITABLE MIND
Prerequisite: Unswayable Mind, Blood Potency 6
The user's mind automatically rebels against being
dominated, throwing off the shackles of
supernatural control with relish.
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Fortitude
• Cost: None
• System: When you are subject to powers
that influence your mind in any way, you
automatically make a Resolve + Fortitude test each
turn to attempt to throw off their influence. You
make this test against a Difficulty set by the
Storyteller or versus the user's test, as appropriate
for the ability.
This means that even if memories are
removed or rewritten from your mind, or if
directives are implanted in your subconscious, your
mind will naturally force itself back into its
unaltered state.
Finally, you cannot experience the mind­
altering effects of drugs of any kind, supernatural
or otherwise.
• Duration: Passive
Level 8: REPAIR THE UNDEAD FLESH
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 7
e
This power allows the vampire to mend their
pl
damaged flesh far more quickly than any other
Kindred, provided they have access to sufficient
blood.
• Cost: None
• System: Instead of being limited to
healing only one point of Aggravated Health
m
damage per night, you may mend any amount of
Aggravated damage in a single night. Each point
still requires three Rouse Checks to mend,
however.
• Duration: None
Level 9: ARM OF PROMETHEUS
Sa
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 8
The Kindred concentrates the power of their vitae
into a single limb, protecting it against all damage
for a short time.
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: No test is required to use this
ability. While it is active, one limb of your choice
is completely immune to damage. This can even
allow you to reach into fire or sunlight and emerge
unharmed ­ assuming only the affected limb is
exposed, of course.
• Duration: One scene
Level 10: ETERNAL VIGILANCE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
This nearly­mythical ability permits the user to
remain awake during daylight hours, suffering only
minor penalties for doing so ­ provided they stay
out of sunlight, of course.
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: Activate this power when you are
about to enter day­sleep; it allows you to remain
awake for the duration of that day rather than
e
entering slumber. Additionally, the cap on your
dice pools imposed by acting during daylight hours
is increased by your Resolve rating, as long as you
are in dim light or darkness.
fil
• Duration: One day
Advanced Obfuscate
Level 6: BLITHE ACCEPTANCE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 5
This power allows the user to interact with objects
while Obfuscated without attracting attention.
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: You may activate this power
while concealed by an Obfuscate power such as
Unseen Passage. While this power is active, you
can interact with objects freely without breaking
your Obfuscation, provided you do not take any
violent actions, such as attacking a creature or
destroying an object. You can, however, open
doors, pick locks, rifle through drawers, steal
jewelry, and take other actions that do not involve
violence without attracting attention.
• Duration: One scene
Level 7: GEMINI'S MIRROR
Prerequisite: Vanish, Blood Potency 6
This power causes observers to believe that the
user is engaged in mundane activities at the place
they last observed them before its activation.
• Dice Pools: Wits + Obfuscate vs. Wits +
Awareness
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: You may activate this power
when you activate another Obfuscate ability, such
as Unseen Passage, paying the additional cost to
augment that ability. Observers perceive you to
have remained where you were when you activated
this ability, performing some mundane action such
as reading a paper, scrolling through your phone,
or listening to music on your earbuds. The power
discourages observers from attempting to interact
 with you; make a Wits + Obfuscate vs. the Wits +
Awareness test of all vampires observing you
when you activate the power; mortals
automatically fail. If an observing vampire wins
this contest, they notice that you have disappeared
from your previous location, although they still
may not be able to detect you (they must make a
separate test against you for Vanish, if you choose
to apply that augmentation as well).
• Duration: As per power augmented
Level 8: FORTRESS OF SILENCE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 7
This power eliminates all sound in the user's
vicinity, blanketing the area in pristine silence and
smothering the noise of gunshots or teeth ripping
into mortal throats.
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Obfuscate vs. Wits
+ Awareness
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: When you activate this power, all
sound in your immediate vicinity (i.e., a 5­meter
e
radius, a single room, an alleyway, etc.) is
suppressed. Even gunshots or explosions can be
silenced with this power. Mortals cannot hear any
noise coming from within the affected area, but
vampires with Heightened Senses may make a
pl
Wits + Awareness test (adding their Auspex for
Heightened Senses only if they currently have it
active) to attempt to hear sounds from within the
area. They are contested by your Resolve +
Obfuscate; if you win, they are unable to hear
anything at all. If they win, they can make out
m
some of the sound from the affected area, although
it is still extremely muffled. The Storyteller might
choose to allow vampires with Heightened Senses
to make a passive Wits + Awareness test against
this ability.
• Duration: One scene (or until ended
early)
Sa
Level 9: VEIL OF WRATHFUL IGNORANCE
Prerequisite: Mental Maze, Blood Potency 8
Amalgam: Dominate 4
This power traps a victim in their own personal
hell of nonexistence, unable to make themselves
heard or seen by those around them no matter
what they do.
• Dice Pools: Intelligence + Obfuscate vs.
Wits + Resolve
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: The vampire must be able to
communicate with their victim in some way,
causing them to read or hear words to the effect of,
"no one will hear you scream," or something
similar. The vampire must be present for the power
to take effect. If the vampire is successful on the
test, the victim cannot be perceived by creatures
other than the vampire or a creature with at least
Auspex 4 and Sense the Unseen.
The victim is considered Obfuscated with
the benefits of Blithe Acceptance, but cannot truly
break their Obfuscation. If they take violent
e
actions, those nearby do notice them and react
accordingly, but they cannot recognize the victim
no matter the intimacy of their connection, and
once the violence is concluded they immediately
fil
become unaware of the victim once more.
Those with Auspex (as described above)
may pierce this mesmerism for themselves if their
roll beats the user's original test of Intelligence +
Obfuscate. If such an individual uses Scry the Soul
on the victim and obtains a critical win, the victim
is released from the cursed mesmerism that binds
them.
• Duration: One night (permanent on a
critical win)
Level 10: MEMORY'S FADING GLIMPSE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
Kindred with a true mastery of Obfuscate need not
concern themselves with breaching the
Masquerade by their feeding, for when they drain a
mortal's last drop, they also consume the memory
of the victim from the minds of those who knew
them.
• Dice Pools: Manipulation + Obfuscate
• Cost: None, or Two Rouse Checks
• System: When you take the last drop
from a mortal victim, killing them, the power of
your Obfuscate infuses their blood as it pulses in
your veins and spreads supernaturally to the minds
of those who knew the victim in life. The victim
slowly vanishes from the memories of mortals
until nothing is left but an inexplicable sense of
absence. Even hard evidence of the victim's
existence, such as birth records and video
recordings, only trigger a momentary recall that
quickly recedes into blissful forgetfulness. The
initial fade occurs over the course of one week
after the victim's death.
The user can also attempt to extend this
power to affect vampires. To do so, you must make
two Rouse Checks and a Manipulation + Obfuscate
roll. The result of this roll sets the Difficulty for a
vampire's Intelligence + Resolve test to recall
 information about the victim, which they may only
do after being reminded of the victim's existence
by hard evidence. On a critical win on one of these
tests, the vampire regains their memories of the
victim and is not further affected by memory loss
for that victim. A vampire that has Fortify the
Inner Façade or Indomitable Mind remains
unaffected by this power unless the user makes a
critical win on the initial Manipulation +
Obfuscate test.
• Duration: Passive, Permanent
Advanced Potence
Level 6: UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM
Prerequisite: Blink, Blood Potency 5
Amalgam: Celerity 4
This power combines the benefits of both Potence
and Celerity, allowing the vampire to move at
impossible speeds and force their body through
powers available to Kindred.
• Cost: One Rouse Check
e
obstacles with their incredible momentum. It is
one of the single­most Masquerade­breaching
• System: While this power remains active,
pl
when you move on your turn you may force your
way through solid objects that are less thick than
your Potence rating in meters. This power can
allow you to run through walls, tear through steel
bunker doors, or dig at blurring speeds to your
destination, leaving a trail of absolute destruction
m
in your wake.
If you attempt to force your way through
material that is too thick to be penetrated by this
power (more thick than your Potence rating in
meters), then you are brought to a halt having
made your way only that far through the material,
a roughly­vampire shaped tunnel behind you. If
Sa
this occurs, the power's effects fade.
• Duration: One scene
Level 7: UNBREAKABLE GRASP
Prerequisite: Uncanny Grip, Blood Potency 6
This power allows the user to maintain their hold
on a creature or object against almost any force.
• Dice Pools: Strength + Potence vs.
Strength + Potence
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: While this power is active,
objects you are holding and creatures you have
grappled cannot be removed from your grasp
against your will.
Only a creature that also has access to at
least one Advanced Potence power has a chance of
breaking your grip. In such a case, make a
contested roll of Strength + Potence to determine
the outcome.
• Duration: One scene
Level 8: IMMOVABLE OBJECT
Prerequisite: Flesh of Marble, Blood Potency 7
e
Amalgam: Fortitude 5
This power allows the Kindred to stand against
any force that tries to move them from where they
stand.
fil
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: Kindred who have this power
cannot be moved against their will. They stand
firm against all attempts to do so; even an impact
by a semi­truck traveling at highway speeds could
not budge them unless they wished to be moved,
although it might deal damage.
Most Kindred with this power activate
Flesh of Marble as well, allowing them to emerge
unharmed from such crashes.
Like Unbreakable Grasp, however, a
creature with access to at least one Advanced
Potence power may make a contested roll of
Strength + Potence to attempt to move the user of
this power.
• Duration: Passive
Level 9: JUGGERNAUT
Prerequisite: Prowess from Pain, Blood Potency 8
Amalgam: Fortitude 5
Kindred with this power are nearly impossible to
kill. When they enter torpor, instead of falling
unconscious and lying immobile their Beast takes
over for their higher brain functions and defends
itself on pure instinct, destroying mindlessly until
all threats lie defeated.
• Cost: None
• System: When your Health tracker is full
of Aggravated damage and the last points of
damage were not caused by fire, beheading, or
sunlight, you immediately enter a Fury Frenzy
without making a test. While this Frenzy lasts, you
cannot take control by spending Willpower; your
conscious mind is in torpor, and your Beast is fully
unleashed.
While this Frenzy lasts, additional
Aggravated damage has no effect on you unless it
 is caused by beheading, fire, or sunlight, in which
case it brings about your Final Death. Your
Strength increases by 3 until the Frenzy ends, and
your Beast uses any of your physical Discipline
powers that it can to protect itself against damage
and eliminate threats.
Your Beast destroys every possible threat
in the area, operating on pure instinct. Even allies,
unless they flee from you, become targets for your
Beast's destruction. When no more enemies are
apparent, your Beast takes you somewhere safe
from the sun and then ends the Frenzy. When it
ends, you fall into true torpor.
• Duration: Passive
Level 10: PUISSANCE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
At this level of Potence, the vampire's strength is
of mythic proportions ­ they can lift planes, throw
tanks, pull trees out of the ground, and certainly
rip Kindred to pieces with ease.
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
e
• System: While this power is active, you
gain 5 automatic successes on every test that
involves Strength or Potence, in addition to those
you garner from your dice pool. For many non­
combat feats of strength, this means that you do
pl
not even need to roll.
• Duration: One scene
Advanced Presence
m
Level 6: SPARK LOVE
Prerequisite: Entrancement, Blood Potency 5
Vampires with this power are able to enflame the
hearts of their victims, inciting the most
passionate love or deepest devotion as they see fit.
This intensity of emotion is almost
indistinguishable from the blood bond.
Sa
• Dice Pools: Charisma + Presence vs.
Wits + Composure
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: Make a test of Charisma +
Presence vs. your victim's Wits + Composure. On
a win, you create a blood bond between the two of
you ­ with yourself as the regnant and the victim
as the thrall, of course. The bond begins with a
bond strength of 3. On a critical win, the bond
strength begins at 6.
You decide whether this bond manifests as
love, passion, or simply devoted loyalty.
• Duration: Permanent
Level 7: APHRODITE'S AMUSEMENT
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 6
This power allows the user to directly manipulate
blood bonds, stealing thralls from other Kindred at
will.
• Dice Pools: Manipulation + Presence vs.
Bond Strength + Blood Potency of the Regnant
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: When you use this power, you
may transfer one blood bond to or from yourself
e
and one other individual. This could be stealing
the position of regnant over another vampire's
thrall, or it could be transferring your own
position as regnant to one of your inferiors,
fil
allowing them to manage your blood bonds for
you. Both the thrall and the regnant in question
must be present when you activate this power.
Make a test of Manipulation + Presence vs.
Bond Strength + Blood Potency of the Regnant;
the Regnant of the bond in question makes this
contesting roll. If the Regnant is a willing
participant they may choose to fail. On a win, you
succeed in your manipulation of the bond.
You cannot transfer bonds directly between
other Kindred; you must first take on the bond
yourself, then use this power again to hand it off
to a third party.
• Duration: Permanent
Level 8: UNHOLY PENANCE
Prerequisite: Dread Gaze, Blood Potency 7
This power forces the victim to feel guilt and
remorse for whatever the user commands them to
regret.
• Dice Pools: Manipulation + Presence vs.
Intelligence + Resolve
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: Activate this power as you
command a victim to feel sorry for something they
have done. Make a test of Manipulation +
Presence vs. Intelligence + Wits. On a win, they
are overcome by guilt, grief, and remorse,
collapsing helplessly where they stand as their
negative emotions overwhelm them.
The victim is unable to act save in their
own defense for a number of turns equal to 1 +
the margin on the roll, and they take Aggravated
Willpower damage equal to the margin.
Afterwards, they remove all Stains.
On a critical win, the victim is unable to act
save in their own defense for the rest of the scene.
• Duration: Up to one scene
 Level 9: SUPPRESS THE ILLICIT
THOUGHT
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 8
Amalgam: Auspex 4
This power causes the victim's mind to tie a
certain memory or thought of the vampire's choice
to the thought of this power's user, thereby
preventing the victim from accessing that concept.
• Dice Pools: Intelligence + Presence vs.
Intelligence + Composure
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: When you use this power, you
tell the victim that you would like them to think
about you instead of a single memory or thought
that you describe at the time of activation. For
example, you could say, "Don't think about how
much you miss your dead wife ­ think about how
much you love me instead," or, "Don't think about
planning to kill me ­ think about planning to kiss
me."
Make a test of Intelligence + Presence vs.
Intelligence + Composure. Mortal victims
e
automatically fail. On a win, the victim's mind is
filled of thoughts of you every time they would
otherwise engage with the content that you have
suppressed, preventing them from actually
thinking about it.
pl
This effect lasts for one night, or
indefinitely on a critical win.
• Duration: One night (permanent on a
critical win)
Level 10: UNDYING LOYALTY
m
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
Vampires at this level of Presence have an
inextricable hold over the minds of those they
affect. Few forces, magical or mundane, are capable
of breaking their grip or withstanding the
influence of their presence.
• Cost: None
Sa
• System: Your Presence powers override
all other mind­altering effects that might be
afflicting a victim ­ even blood bonds. As long as
someone is affected by one of your Presence
powers, all mind­altering effects originating from
someone other than you are suppressed.
This effect also extends to those Blood
Bonded to you ­ as long as their Bond lasts, they
are utterly immune to the Presence and Dominate
of other creatures. They have but one master.
• Duration: Passive
Advanced Protean
Level 6: LOKI'S GIFT
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 5
Kindred with this ability have learned to master a
multitude of shapes with their Protean. They can
transform into any creature whose blood they have
tasted.
• Dice Pools: Wits + Protean
e
• Cost: None
• System: You gain the ability to learn a
creature's form as you drink its blood. Make a Wits
+ Protean test against a Difficulty set by the
fil
Storyteller based on the necessity for individual
specificity (ex: to master a new type of animal
without replicating an individual's exact
appearance, Difficulty 3; to exactly simulate an
individual mortal, Difficulty 6).
When you transform using Shapechange or
Metamorphosis, you can assume any form you have
learned using this ability.
• Duration: As per power augmented
Level 7: INVERT THE FLESH
Prerequisite: Quell the Beast, Blood Potency 6
Amalgam: Animalism 3
This power allows the user to force a shapechanger
back into their true form through their mastery of
Protean and the Beast.
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Protean vs.
Composure + Resolve
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: When you activate this power,
target a creature that is currently in a form other
than their own (i.e., transformed via a Protean
power or a lupine's innate shift) and engage in a
contest of Resolve + Protean vs. Composure +
Resolve. On a win, you force the target to spend
their next turn transforming back into their true
form.
For the duration, the victim cannot leave
their true form. On a critical win, this effect lasts
until the end of the night.
• Duration: One scene (one night on a
critical win)
Level 8: BLISSFUL SLUMBER
Prerequisite: Mist Form, Blood Potency 7
Vampires with this ability have learned to slumber
during the day in the form of mist, immune to all
but fire and direct sunlight.
• Cost: One Rouse Check
 • System: Activate only while you are in
your mist form; this power extends your mist form
to last until you next awaken from day­sleep.
While this power is active, you only take damage
from direct sunlight, fire, and immaterial
supernatural attacks. For example, you could
slumber as mist beneath the boughs of trees in a
dense forest without being harmed, despite the
small amount of sunlight filtering down through
the branches.
When you awaken from day­sleep for any
reason, you return to your true form. This power
obeys the rules for Mist Form in all other respects.
• Duration: Until you next awaken from
day­sleep
Level 9: DEATH'S HIDDEN CRAWL
Prerequisite: Earth Meld, Blood Potency 8
This ability expands on Earth Meld by allowing
the user to slowly move through the earth while
melded.
• Cost: None
e
• System: While using Earth Meld, you are
able to move at a walking pace through solid earth.
Even in day­sleep or torpor, your mind is able to
propel you forward to a desired destination
through pure instinct.
pl
When you choose to use this power, decide
on a destination you are familiar with and could
reasonably navigate yourself to if traveling above
ground. Provided the destination is connected to
your current location by a continuous band of
natural earth (not concrete or other artificial
m
materials) large enough to allow your body
passage, you move through the earth toward it at a
walking pace. When you arrive, you remain
motionless at the destination until you emerge
from Earth Meld. You may voluntarily end your
usage of Earth Meld early when you have this
power.
Sa
This power can be used to emerge below
floors or foundations, but it does not aid you in
breaking through such barriers. Thus, you could
travel below the foundation of a building to gain
covert access, but you would have to make a test to
break through the concrete in order to actually
gain entry.
• Duration: Passive
Level 10: SHAPE OF THE INNER BEAST
Prerequisite: Feral Weapons, Blood Potency 9
Reminiscent of the hybrid Crinos war­form of
Lupines, this power transforms the user into a
terrifying beast of a design unique to their own
nature. Kindred so­transformed are capable of
incredible destruction.
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: No test is required, but the
transformation requires an entire round to
complete. Once transformed, you assume the shape
of a bestial monstrosity with terrifying and deadly
natural weapons. Similarly to lupines, all your
Physical attributes increase by 3 while
e
transformed, and you heal 1 point of Superficial
Health damage per turn.
While transformed, your Feral Weapons
are automatically active and are treated as light
fil
piercing weapons with a +4 damage rating. You
also suffer a ­2 dice penalty to all Frenzy tests.
• Duration: One scene
Adv. Blood Sorcery
Level 6: ABATED TOOTH
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 5
This power allows the sorcerer to force a Kindred's
fangs back into their gums, preventing them from
feeding with bite attacks.
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Blood Sorcery vs.
Composure + Resolve
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: If you win on the contest, the
victim's fangs are forced back into their gums for
the rest of the scene (for the rest of the night on a
critical win).
While their fangs are sheathed, the victim
cannot make vampiric bite attacks, and if they feed
they must do so without biting. This effect is
maintained even if the victim enters a frenzy.
• Duration: One scene (or one night on a
critical win)
Level 7: BLOOD PUPPETRY
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 6
Amalgam: Dominate 4
The blood sorcerer reaches out to directly control
the blood of a victim with their mind, turning
them into a jerky marionette that acts according to
the sorcerer's will.
• Dice Pools: Manipulation + Blood
Sorcery vs. Stamina + Resolve + Fortitude (if the
victim has it)
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: If you win on the contest, you
are able to control all of the victim's movements
 for a number of turns equal to 1 + the margin on
the win. On a critical win, you control the target's
movements for the rest of the scene. Mortals lose
automatically.
Each turn that you control their
movements, you decide what they will do, but can
only force them to take purely physical actions ­ no
forced use of Disciplines, speech, etc. If their
action requires a dice pool, use the victim's
statistics to build it, but it cannot exceed a number
of dice equal to your result on the original
Manipulation + Blood Sorcery test to seize control
of their body.
Manipulating a victim's body counts as a
minor action, imposing a ­2 dice penalty to other
rolls on that turn unless you possess Rapid
Reflexes.
• Duration: Up to one scene
Level 8: CORRUPT BODY
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 7
This power allows the vampire to interfere with
e
another vampire's vitae, causing it to corrupt their
flesh instead of preserve it.
• Dice Pools: Wits + Blood Sorcery vs.
Stamina + Fortitude
• Cost: One Rouse Check
pl
• System: You can only target other
vampires with this power. If you win the contest,
you can reduce one of their Physical attributes of
your choice by a number equal to 1 + your margin
on the test, to a minimum of 1.
On a critical win, this lasts for the rest of
m
the night.
• Duration: One scene (one night on a
critical win)
Level 9: VALEDICTION
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 8
This power temporarily saps a victim of the
Sa
benefits of their age and potency, forcing them to
temporarily feel the weakness and vulnerability of
the higher generations.
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Blood Sorcery vs.
Stamina + Fortitude + Blood Potency
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: If you win the contest, the
victim's generation is raised to 13 for a number of
turns equal to 1 + the margin on the test (one
scene on a critical win). This means that the
victim's blood potency is capped at 3 while the
effect lasts, potentially lowering it if it was greater
than 3 to begin with.
• Duration: Up to one scene
Level 10: CURDLE BOND
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
This power corrupts the devotion of the blood
bond into hatred, turning loyal servants into
deadly enemies.
• Dice Pools: Manipulation + Blood
Sorcery
• Cost: One Rouse Check
e
• System: Make a test of Manipulation +
Blood Sorcery against a Difficulty equal to the
bond strength + Composure of the target (the
target must be a blood slave). On a win, the
fil
target's devotion to their regnant transforms into
absolute hatred. A vampire victim must make a
fury Frenzy test against a Difficulty equal to the
bond strength each time they see their regnant for
as long as the effect lasts.
On a critical win, the inversion of the blood
bond is permanent, lasting until the bond strength
dissipates to 0 (according to normal rules for
waning blood bonds). When it reaches 0, the bond
is broken, and the thrall has whatever emotions
toward their former regnant are natural to them
and their situation.
• Duration: One scene (or until the bond is
broken, on a critical win)
Advanced Oblivion
Level 6: SHADOW HAVEN
Prerequisite: Shadow Step, Blood Potency 5
This power allows the user to maintain a shadowy
echo of their own haven in the Labyrinth. The
vampire can spend the day here, safe from the sun.
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: You must be in absolute darkness
to activate this power. When you do, you step into
the darkness itself and emerge into the Labyrinth,
where you have cultivated a shadowy echo of one
of your havens in the real world. Everything that
is actually in that haven in the normal world (other
than living creatures) is present as a shadowy
replica, although it cannot be brought out of the
Labyrinth or provide any sustenance or magical
effect. Functions that require outside interaction,
such as the internet or phone calls, do not work in
your shadow haven.
While in your shadow haven, you do not
enter day­sleep even if it is day in the real world.
You do, however, need to make a Rouse Check each
 night to see if you become more hungry.
You can make a Rouse Check to re­enter
the real world where you left it.
• Duration: Up to 24 hours
Level 6: DEATH KNELL
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 5
The necromancer's senses are so in tune with the
Shadowlands that they can sense the passage of
souls from life to death around them.
• Dice Pools: Wits + Oblivion
• Cost: None
• System: You are aware of all deaths that
take place around you (roughly a city block). You
constantly feel the passage of souls from the
tiniest insects to the mortals you drain and leave
behind. For each individual death, you can
distinguish the type of creature that died, whether
it was an insect, a small animal, large animal, or
human.
When you sense a human's death, you can
also make a test of Wits + Oblivion against a
e
Difficulty of 4 to learn the mortal's name.
Thereafter, when you sense a fetter that belongs to
that mortal's spirit, you automatically recognize its
ownership.
• Duration: Passive
pl
Level 7: DARKSIGHT
Prerequisite: Shadow Perspective, Blood Potency 6
This power expands on Shadow Perspective to
allow you to send your senses from shadow to
shadow, traveling through the darkness in your
m
realm.
• Dice Pools: Wits + Oblivion
• Cost: None
• System: While using Shadow Perspective,
you gain the ability to send your senses from the
shadow you are perceiving from to any other
shadow that you can see from that point. This
Sa
allows you to hop from patch of darkness to patch
of darkness, traveling far from your body's actual
location while remaining almost totally
undetectable.
• Duration: Passive
Level 7: CONSILIUM MORTUUS
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 6
This power allows the vampire to devour
memories from the mind of creatures they drain.
It is a powerful method of interrogation, despite
leaving the informant unfortunately deceased.
• Dice Pools: Intelligence + Oblivion
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: Activate this power when you
drain a creature's last drop. Make a test of
Intelligence + Oblivion against a Difficulty of 4.
On a win, you acquire a number of memories from
the victim equal to 1 + the margin. Each memory
serves as the victim's most direct answer to a
question that you pose to the Storyteller when you
use this power. The Storyteller may decide that
more than one memory is required to fully answer
e
your first question, but if you are able to devour
enough memories you may be able to ask 2 or even
more questions.
The memories you receive are incorporated
fil
into your own mind and can be reviewed like any
other memory.
If you get a messy critical on this test, you
accidentally attempt to diablerize the victim (if
Kindred).
• Duration: Permanent
Level 8: THE DARKNESS WITHIN
Prerequisite: Tenebrous Avatar, Blood Potency 7
Amalgam: Dominate 4
This power causes multiple shades to extend from
the user's shadow, splitting off to serve them as
darkness incarnate.
• Dice Pools: Manipulation + Oblivion
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: Make a Manipulation + Oblivion
test at Difficulty 5 when you activate this power.
On a win, a number of shadows split off from your
own equal to 1 + the margin on the test.
These shadows have the game statistics of
Spectres save that they take Aggravated damage
from extremely bright light (5000 lumens or more;
for reference, a typical LED flashlight puts out
about 100 lumens). They serve you implicitly, and
you can command them telepathically.
On a critical win, these shades remain for
an entire night instead of a single scene.
• Duration: One scene (one night on a
critical win)
Level 8: TRUE DEATH
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 7
The necromancer causes their blood to go
temporarily silent, allowing their undead body to
become simply dead ­ without suffering the rapid
decay that accompanies Final Death.
• Cost: One Rouse Check
• System: When you activate this power,
your body goes limp and you fall unconscious as
 though in day­sleep. You cannot awaken from this
form of day­sleep early; it ends only when the
next night falls.
While active, your body is indistinguishable
from a normal, fresh human corpse. It does not
take damage from sunlight, and although it can
take damage from fire, it does not have a vampire's
especial vulnerability to it. If the corpse takes
enough damage from fire to fully destroy it, or if
the head is severed, you suffer the Final Death
immediately.
The corpse does not seem remarkable at
any level of inspection, provided you do not suffer
Masquerade­breaching banes such as the
Nosferatu's appearance or a Gangrel's post­frenzy
bestial features. Even on dissection, the corpse
seems to be a mundane human body unless such
banes are present.
• Duration: Until the next night
Level 9: OUBLIETTE
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 8
e
This ominous ability permits the user to pull a
victim into their own personal prison in the
Labyrinth, to remain trapped in shadow until the
vampire releases them.
• Dice Pools: Manipulation + Oblivion vs.
pl
Wits + Resolve
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: The vampire makes a
Manipulation + Oblivion test vs. the victim's Wits
+ Resolve. On a win, shadows snake out from the
user and pursue the victim, eventually dragging
m
them down into darkness. The pursuit takes a
number of turns equal to 4 ­ the vampire's margin
on the win; at the end, the shadows wrap around
the victim and pull them down into the vampire's
own little pocket of the Labyrinth. The shadows
defy all but the brightest light; if used at night,
there is very little hope of escape once the vampire
Sa
has won the contest.
Once pulled into the Labyrinth, the victim
finds themselves in a small, utterly black room, of
a design unique to the vampire who used this
ability but always with no ceiling and a single, tiny
pinprick of light indicating the oubliette's egress
far above. Kindred with Oblivion's Sight,
Heightened Senses, or Eyes of the Beast may
activate that ability to allow themselves to see
while in the oubliette. The victim can attempt to
escape by climbing the walls of the oubliette,
although this requires a Resolve + Occult (or
Oblivion, or Blood Sorcery) test at Difficulty 8
rather than any test of physical merits. If they
win, they emerge out of the shadows where they
entered; the same happens when the power ends,
potentially jettisoning the victim into direct
sunlight.
While in the oubliette, the victim does not
age or require sleep or sustenance, but may suffer
mental trauma (Storyteller discretion).
• Duration: One night (permanent on a
critical win)
e
Level 9: RESUME THIS UNDEAD COIL
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 8
Vampires with this power wield mastery over their
fil
own undead condition, allowing them to rise from
torpor and resurrect others from torpor freely.
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Oblivion
• Cost: 1 point of Aggravated Willpower
damage if used on yourself; One Rouse Check if
used on another
• System: While you are in torpor, you gain
an opportunity each night to voluntarily awaken
yourself before your time. This occurs at sundown,
when you would awaken from day­sleep if not in
torpor. If you choose to avail yourself of this
opportunity, you take 1 point of Aggravated
Willpower damage and immediately awaken from
torpor.
You can also activate this power to awaken
another vampire from torpor prematurely. When
you do, spend one Rouse Check. Make a Resolve +
Oblivion test against a Difficulty equal to the
target's Blood Potency. On a win, you pull the
target out of torpor ­ although you should be
cautious of their likely hunger frenzy.
• Duration: Instantaneous
Level 10: TCHERNABOG
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
This power is among the most unholy, eerie, and
impressive of all Discipline abilities. It allows the
vampire to blot out the very sun for a limited time,
letting themselves and other Kindred roam as
though under the veil of night.
• Dice Pools: Resolve + Oblivion
• Cost: Two Rouse Checks
• System: Make a Resolve + Oblivion test
against a Difficulty of 8 when you activate this
power, which can only be done when the sun is in
the sky. On a win, shadows snake across the face of
the sun, darkening the skies and cloaking the area
around you in the gloom of night for a time. This
area might be a single building, a city block, or just
 a 50­meter radius around you; the Storyteller
decides the scope of this power depending on what
is narratively appropriate.
Within the affected area, Kindred awake
from day­sleep and suffer no ill effects from being
awake during daylight hours, nor do they take
damage from sunlight (as there is none). If they
leave the area, they follow the normal rules for
operating in daylight.
The affected area does not move with you.
However, on a critical win, the area not only moves
with you (remaining centered on you), but also
lasts for the rest of the day.
• Duration: One scene, one day on a critical
win
e Feast power, you can use it to feed on other
pl
m
Sa
Level 10: INUREMENT
Prerequisite: Blood Potency 9
The pinnacle of necromancy is the assurance of
both one's own death and one's return to unlife.
This power allows the necromancer to immediately
arise as a specter following their Final Death.
• Cost: None
• System: When you suffer the Final
Death, make a test of Resolve + Oblivion against a
Difficulty equal to 15 ­ your Blood Potency. On a
e
win, you immediately arise from your body as a
specter. You have the same game statistics as a
specter, but you are immaterial (although you can
telekinetically manipulate objects as though you
fil
were moving them with your body), you are
invisible except to those using Sense the Unseen or
equivalent, you can only use mental Disciplines,
and you gain the specter's special strengths and
abilities (see p. 377).
You can remain in the Skinlands as a
specter a number of days equal to 1 + your margin
on the original test. If you possess the Passion
specters in this form, extending your time in the
Skinlands by 1 day for each point of "hunger" you
slake.
This ability offers you a slim chance to
return to your undead existence. If, while
possessing a mortal, you are able to cause them to
consume all of the ashes left behind by your Final
Death and blood sufficient to slake 10 Hunger, you
may supplant their spirit from their body and
infuse the blood they consumed with your essence,
transforming the host into a vampire with your
spirit, your mind, and all your vampiric abilities. If
successful, you return to the world as you were,
merely housed in a new physical shell.
• Duration: Permanent
