Disciplines
All vampires possess Disciplines, supernatural powers granted by the Embrace. These powers separate the undead from
mortals, providing vast physical and spiritual might. With Disciplines, a vampire can display the strength of 10 men, bend
another being to her will, or transform into an animal. Elders, who have not only learned several Disciplines but mastered
them as well, are truly beings to be feared.
No vampire knows exactly whence Disciplines originate. Some Kindred claim that Disciplines are gifts from Caine, or Lilith
the Dark Mother; others believe they are simply innate supernatural abilities intrinsic to the vampiric form. Regardless, it is
mastery of the Disciplines, more than any other factor, that enables a vampire to play at Jyhad and survive to tell of it.
Like other Traits, Disciplines are rated from 1 to 5. A score of 1 indicates that the Discipline in question has barely been
awakened, while a score of 5 indicate mastery of the highest powers. As a character increases her score in a Discipline, she
gains access to the powers listed next to the appropriate number of dots, and of course retains access to lesser powers as
well. Certain elders are rumored to have Discipline levels of higher than 5, but such beings are assuredly potent in Blood.
Players begin the game with three dots to spend on their characters' clan Disciplines, which are listed with each clan
description in Chapter Two. Caitiff may place their three dots on any Disciplines they like, subject to the Storyteller's
discretion. Characters may also acquire Disciplines other than those commonly taught by their clan, provided they spend the
proper freebie or experience points and have access to a vampiric teacher.
Note: Unless stated in the description, Disciplines cost no blood or Willpower points to activate.
If you ever have a problem about a Discipline I will personally help you out, as of right now the source I am getting the info for this is glitching out.
