Dawn was about to break; the world was waking

up. For most of the unwitting mortals their day
was just starting but for us it was late, it was very
late, at least in our line of work.
Hunting the supernatural was never going to be a
normal career path. But for an orphan raised in the
loving embrace of the catholic church I guess it
was either this or the dull life of a cleric. Although
to be fair in moments like these I do curse myself
for not taking the easy way out. An assignment to
some backwater congregation with nothing to do
but read the same twenty lines of text every
Sunday and listen to the housewives admit how
they found their local pool boy attractive in the
confessional booth seems like a pretty sweet gig
given our current circumstances.
The hunt was a bust. The intel completely
underestimated the number of the damned and I
fear we might have a mole in our midst. Barely half
of us got out alive and Father Damien looks like he
will not be long for this world. That’s when she
walked in.
A vision of cold undead beauty. Eyes dark brown
as the deepest woods at night and skin white as
fresh winter snow. We all knew immediately what
she was yet for all our fervour and zeal not one of
us ushered a word or raised a hand against her in
anger. She calmly walked past us to place a hand
on Father Damien. His struggles stopped and I
thought that this was it. She would murder us
silently and efficiently and we would be powerless
to resist her. As she moved away, I was surprised
to see the tell tail signs of a chest rising and falling
as Damien feel into a deep slumber. I was even
more shocked to see that the bleeding had not only
stopped but his wounds did fully heal. The
unknown visitor walked calmly back out into the
early hours of dawn, opened a red umbrella, and
disappeared into the shadows of a nearby alley.
Never had my faith been more unsteady, nor my
heart filled with more doubt over our holy
mission.

How to use this Document?
The document should be read just like any other
World of Darkness book. You will need the core V5
rulebook to understand most of its rules but on the
following pages you will find rules for an expanded
Valeren discipline. This includes a re-write of its old
powers as well as special and optional rules to
improve your gameplay experience.
The powers have been written in a way that is
hopefully clearer than what the main rulebook
provides.
Please read the segments on the current and
following page for a better understanding of how to
use the document.
The Breakdown
Each power is broken up into the following
segments:
Description: a quick summary of the power,
including some additional information for how it
functions, impacts the user and what its
effects actually are. The description is generally
broken down into italicized text and normal text.
The italicized text is meant more as an
in-story description of the power or its origins while
the normal text actually advises you on its effects.
Type: All powers have a type attributed to them.
These are:
▪ Abilities: requires the user to actively
deviate that they are using this power.
▪ Reflexive: the ability only becomes
available if the right circumstance presents
themselves during which point a player may
declare that they are activating the power.
▪ Upgrade: these powers augment or
permanently enhance the user. They have no
cost and are always active.
▪ Ritual: these powers require a character's
attention, ingredients and, usually, a
prolonged period of time to perform properly
but their effects are generally, long lasting and
powerful.
5
Tag: All abilities are given a tag. A tag
describes what sort of medium the power uses.
Only those capable of perceiving reality under that
tag can pick up on its use and even then, it might be
beyond their scope to do so. If a creature is resilient,
to a single tag the power possesses, but not the
other then it can still be affected as per normal. A
single power usually will have more than one tag:
▪ Physical: uses and functions through sound,
sight, smell, taste, and/or touch.
▪ Mental: uses and functions through the use of
telepathy or simply in the mind of the creature.
▪ Spiritual: uses the connection through the
Umbra (or spiritual energy) to function.
Range & Targets: Describes the range of the
power and how many individuals it impacts. This
will not always be a physically determined range but
can be categorized as Vocal, Visual or Scent range,
meaning the range extends to how far a character
can see, smell or how many people can hear him.
Conditions: Describes what conditions must be
met for the power to work.
Risk: Advises primarily how easily another
individual can perceive the use of this power and
how likely it is. This is primarily meant to give the
player an understanding of the risks involved when
using this power in public.
Cost: Tells the player what cost must be paid for
the power’s activation.
Test: Advises what test a player must pass for the
power to activate. The test difficulty will always be a
number in a bracket ( ). As long as the result is
equalled or exceeded the power activates. In
circumstances where no test or value is provided the
power activates automatically.
Resistance Roll: Describes what values the target
uses in order to attempt to resist the powers effects
(if any). The difficulty for the Resistance Roll is
either a pre-determined value ( ) or is simply made
against the users test result.
Duration: Advises how long the power
remains active for or rather how long its effects
remain active.
Values
Many of the powers written here will provide you
with a distance and duration which is slightly
different from the main book which uses a more
open system of play. Treat these more as guidelines
to give you a better understanding of the extent of
each power and its effects.
Distance and weight will always be provided in
metric followed by imperial measurements in
brackets. Both are rounded up or down to the
closest round number for ease of gameplay.
Duration is always provided in normal time and
game time. Normal time being hours, days, weeks
etc. and game time being provided in Actions,
Rounds, Scenes and Sessions. Normal time will
always be provided in brackets next to Game time.
Just like distances these are meant to provide a
guideline more than an actual hard rule and are
meant for ease of gameplay.
Enhanced Mortals
You might often encounter the phrase Enhanced
Mortal. This is simply a tag given to all creatures
who are mostly human (or a normal animal) but had
been altered by scientific or supernatural means to
be stronger, faster or more resilient than general
mortals. Ghouls, Flesh Creations, Zombies, Thin-
Bloods, Kinfolk etc. can all be considered Enhanced
Mortals.
LARP Friendly
Some abilities can be somewhat difficult to
represent in a Live Action Role Play
(LARP) setting. Due to this the author had
added a symbol of an ankh (such as the
one on the right) to all powers which he
personally considers to NOT be LARP friendly.
This is simply the authors personal preference and if
you feel like a power can enrich your gaming
experience than by all means use it.
Banes & Bonuses
Before you get into the full explanation of each
power there will be a page which explains the nature
of the discipline at length, how it works, its bonuses
and its banes.
6
The last two will be new for most players as these
additions do not feature in the main rulebook.
A discipline Bonus is granted to any user of the
ability and generally grows more powerful the more
dots the player invests in that discipline. The Bonus
is generally a passive one or it augments the powers
in the Discipline further.
A discipline Bane is the inherent danger which
comes from using the discipline. These can vary but
the one rule they all share is that a discipline Bane
only affects those users and clans who do not
naturally have access to the Discipline to begin with
as part of their Clan (or bloodline) inherent abilities.
For example, Dominate is a discipline which several
clans have access to. So Ventrue and Tremere
characters will outright ignore the discipline bane
for Dominate. However, a Gangrel who gained
access to Dominate (by either being taught or as
part of their Predator Type) will always be impacted
by the discipline Bane as it is not a power his Clan is
naturally accustomed to.
In either event discipline Banes & Bonuses are
optional rules and most powers work just as easily
without their implementation. So, if you feel like
they would slow your game feel free to disregard
them.
Clan Signature Disciplines
In the current version for V5 most clan signature
disciplines had not made the transition to the new
rule set. Those that did had been altered or
appropriated by several clans.
For the purposes of the custom rules found here
Signature Clan Disciplines should only be available
to the clan listed below.
You can however still mix and match the powers as
you want as they are still considered optional in
nature.
Clans With Access to
Valeren:
VALEREN
Valeren is the mythical Discipline of the Salubri.
Also known as the Path of the Healer, Valeren had
seen extensive use during the Dark Ages. Masters of
the art were both respected as healers and feared as
righteous warriors before the clans near destruction
at the hands of its rivals.
At its most basic, Valeren provides control over
pain, increased martial abilities and impressive
healing capabilities. The discipline seems to be a
curious mix of Fortitude, Potence and Blood
Sorcery.
These nights the art of Valeren is mainly lost to
Kindred, with only a few trained users remaining.
Many bastardized versions of the Discipline had
sprung up over the centuries yet these always pale in
comparison to the skills of a true Salubri, whose
unique blood grants them a natural affinity to its
powers.
Key Test
Valeren + Wits (Valeren – Path of the Warrior) or
Valeren + Intelligence (Obeah – Path of the Healer)
vs Stamina + Resolve (against either path)
Valeren Explained
Valeren is a discipline that splits into two separate
pathways.
Valeren – Path of the Warrior:
is considered the more martial form of the
discipline and its powers are mainly geared towards
enhancing the user’s offensive capabilities.
Obeah – Path of the Healer:
takes a more utilitarian approach and its main
purpose is healing injuries, ailments, and curses.
Each power will have written, in brackets next to its
name, what pathway it belongs too, and its users can
draw from either one.
7
However, the powers for either pathway are more
difficult to manifest than those of other disciplines
and it is advised that you apply the Discipline Bonus
to your tests to offset this.
Discipline Bonus
When making a roll to manifest your powers add 1
dice to each test roll for every power of the same
path, as the one you are manifesting, your character
already possesses.
For example:
Let’s take a character who possesses 2 powers from
the Path of the Warrior and 1 power from the Path
of the Healer.
They would add 2 dice to any of their tests when
attempting to manifest a power from the Path of
the Warrior (Valeren) and 1 dice when attempting
to manifest a power from the Path of the Healer
(Obeah).
In other words, the Key Test (once you apply the
Discipline bonus) is actually:
Valeren + Wits or Intelligence + Path Bonus
Discipline Bane
Only Salubri can use the Valeren discipline to its full
potential. All users belonging to other clans can take
a maximum of 2 dots in the discipline.
Level 1
Sense Vitality
(Obeah – Path of the Healer)
With but a touch the Kindred can tell the general
health and state of their patient.
When used on humans or animals the Kindred can
tell the persons age, vitality, and general health, this
includes Ghouls (and other Enhanced Mortals).
When used on another Kindred the user can tell the
vampires blood potency, willpower and general
health.
When used on other supernatural creatures the
information becomes somewhat muddied but at the
very least the Kindred should be able to tell the
general health of the creature.
Do note that general health does mean the
Storyteller should provide the Kindred with an
accurate idea of how many marked and unmarked
health boxes the target currently has.
❖ Type: Ability
❖ Tag: Physical
❖ Range & Targets: A single individual within

and hard to pick up on.
❖ Test: None
❖ Resistance Roll: None
❖ Duration: 1 Action (1 second)
8
Anaesthetic Touch
(Obeah – Path of the Healer)
The user’s touch takes the pain away from their patient
allowing them to provide them with a few moments of respite.
The target loses all sensation of pain. If the hold is
not broken for an entire minute the target falls
asleep as well.
❖ Type: Ability
❖ Tag: Physical
❖ Range & Targets: A single individual within
Touch Range.
❖ Cost: None

the victim, but it is highly likely that in the
heat of the moment any witnesses will have
other problems to deal with.
❖ Test: None

target wishes to deny sleep. Mortals have no
protection against this ability.)
❖ Duration: 1 Action (1 second) for the effects

Auguring Gift
(Obeah – Path of the Healer)
The Kindred can quickly determine the targets ailments and
their source.
The user can determine what type of disease, poison
or venom is impacting the target and its general
source (natural, manufactured, supernatural).
The user or his allies can then use this knowledge to
potentially save the victim.
The ability provides no information on curses.
❖ Type: Ability
❖ Tag: Physical
❖ Range & Targets: A single individual within

❖ Cost: None
❖ Conditions: Must make physical touch with

❖ Risk: Minor. The power is very hard to
notice.
❖ Test: None
❖ Resistance Roll: None
❖ Duration: 1 Round (1 minute)
Sense Lethality
(Valeren – Path of the
Warrior)
This ability allows the Kindred to understand the
potential danger a target poses.
The Kindred can understand, quite accurately, just
how dangerous an individual is to them and their
allies were they to potentially use their gifts against
them.
The power does not outright provide the character
with an idea of the targets exact capabilities (mental,
physical, or spiritual) but should give them a rough
rating (from 1 to 5, as per the dot system) on how
dangerous the target is to them and/or their allies.
❖ Type: Ability
❖ Tag: Physical
❖ Range & Targets: A single individual within
Touch Range.
❖ Cost: None
❖ Conditions: Must make physical touch with
the targets skin.
❖ Risk: None. The ability is extremely subtle
and hard to pick up on.
❖ Test: None
❖ Resistance Roll: None
❖ Duration: 1 Action (1 second)
Design Notes
Although all powers written here can be used
normally in your games, I would advise limiting
them based on your Kindreds Blood Potency
using the following.
Level 1 Powers – can be manifested by Blood
Potency 0 or higher.
Level 2 Powers – can be manifested by Blood
Potency 1 or higher.
Level 3 Powers – can be manifested by Blood
Potency 2 or higher.
Level 4 Powers – can be manifested by Blood
Potency 3 or higher.
Level 5 Powers – can be manifested by Blood
Potency 4 or higher.

Level 3
Mens Sana
(Obeah – Path of the Healer)
With a calm touch the Kindred banishes a victim’s mental
disorders.
If successful, the target loses a single mental
disorder. Sadly, when it comes to highly deranged
individuals (or Malkavians) the ability can only
mitigate the disorders for 1 Sessions.
If you have the Dementation Remastered book on
hand, then this ability can completely nullify a single
Mild Derangement or temporarily remove a Severe
Derangement until the end of the Session.

Vocally by ushering the name of the targets sire in
their presence.

Level 5
Purification
(Obeah – Path of the Healer)
At its most powerful the Obeah path can be used to purify an
individual of all forms of supernatural, natural, or man-made
corruptions and poisons.
If successful, then the target “suffers” the following:
• It loses all forms of mental disorders.
• All forms of intrusive mental influences (such as
those from the powers of Dominate) are
removed.
• Any terminal conditions they might have
suffered during the chronicle (such as cancer) are
removed.
• The effects of any poisons are nullified.
• All diseases they currently have are cured.
• All forms of supernatural curses (excluding
Kindred or Clan Banes) are removed.
• All Blood Bonds are broken.
• Finally, if the target is possessed by a supernatural
entity than that entity is driven out as well.
❖ Type: Ritual
❖ Tag: Physical, Mental & Spiritual
❖ Range & Targets: A single individual who is
fed the Kindreds blood and spends an evening

❖ Conditions: The target must either comply
with the instructions of the user or be

ability can do little to reverse death or restore
what the target had already lost (memories,
mind, body parts, their soul etc.)
❖ Risk: Moderate. This ability should never be
used in the open and is generally carried out
behind closed doors. Additionally, if the ritual
is interrupted than the test is automatically
considered a failure.
❖ Test: Valeren + Intelligence (7)

Sword Of The Righteous
(Valeren – Path of the
Warrior)
The ultimate expression of Valeren, with this
ability the Kindred douses a blade in his blood. The blade
catches fire when it strikes the corrupt and the flames devour
the target, fuelled by the weight of the victim’s own sins.
If successful, a bladed weapon is enhanced with the
Kindreds blood (this must be some form of melee
weapon with a sharp edge).
If the bladed weapon strikes a target, then the target
will suffer 10 points of Aggravated damage. This
amount is reduced by 1 for each unmarked
Humanity box the target possesses.
So, a target with Humanity 7 would receive only 3
points of Aggravated damage.
There is no defence against this strike, aside from
parrying or dodging (Fortitude offers no
protection). The flames are magical in nature and
feed on the sins inside the target’s soul. They can
cause a fear frenzy once the blade ignites but will
never phase their wielder.
Once a blow is successfully delivered the blade
crumbles into dust.
In instances where the targets humanity is
questionable (Garou, Ghosts, Mages) the verdict is
left to the Storyteller.
❖ Type: Ritual
❖ Tag: Physical & Spiritual
❖ Range & Targets: A single bladed weapon.
❖ Cost: 1 Scene + 2 Rouse Checks
❖ Conditions: The Kindred must have
Humanity 7 or higher to manifest this ritual
successfully. The enchanted blade must break
the targets skin and make contact with their
blood for the power to activate. Only one
instance of such a blade can exist at a time.
❖ Risk: High. While leaving no trace of itself,
the weapon does cause its victim to burst into
flames. Even worse the blade can be lost to an
enemy and used against the wielder.
❖ Test: Valeren + Wits (7)
❖ Resistance Roll: None
❖ Duration: 1 Scene (1 full night from sunrise
to sunset or 12 hours) to enchant the blade.
the duration of one successful strike although
the flames it causes might keep going.
