Disciplines


Common Disciplines

These Disciplines are inherent to the five Clans themselves. Common Disciplines are called like that because more than one clan has an innate knack for them.

  • Animalism: The power to commune with and command animals. Clan Discipline for Gangrel and Ventue.
  • Celerity: The ability to move at incredible speeds with uncanny precision. Clan Discipline for Daeva and Mekhet.
  • Obfuscate: The power of hiding oneself by clouding the minds of the weak. Clan Discipline for Mekhet and Nosferatu.
  • Resilience: The ability to withstand crippling injury without submitting. Clan Discipline for Gangrel and Ventue.
  • Vigor: The ability to manifest supernatural strength, far beyond a mortal's scope. Clan Discipline for Daeva and Nosferatu.




Clan Disciplines

Each Clan has three disciplines which they can learn with more ease than others: Two of those are common, and one is the Clan's specialty Discipline, for which that particular Clan has an innate aptitude.

  • Auspex: Preternatural sensitivity and awareness and the ability to forsee and know things seemingly unknowable. Practiced primarily by Clan Mekhet.
  • Dominate: The piercing stare that commands minds and the ability to break the will of others. The specialty discipline of Clan Ventrue.
  • Majesty: Seductive or commanding sway of emotions and the predatory manipulation of the weak in this way, as practiced by Clan Daeva.
  • Nightmare: The ability of Clan Nosferatu to evoke sheer terror by revealing one's primal nature
  • Praestantia: The reflex control and foresight abilities intrinsic to the minor Akhud clan.
  • Protean: Clan Gangrel's ability to assume a variety of forms such as a wolf or a mist.
