Discipline list, by Isador An important list of all the disciplines in the game. (I might add more later on, but those will mostly be for RP purposes. All disciplines in the game are currently listed.) Please be aware that there is a limit to the amount of extra disciplines your character may learn. In addition, be creative in using your disciplines during an RP! Version 1.1 - Added RP suggestions to some disciplines Version 1.2 – Removed old RP suggestions, now the RP uses of each discipline GROUP will be explained. Version 1.3 - Trogers2 made titles of groups bigger so you don't get the title so it's easier to read. Common This discipline group can mainly be used for anything involving the base vampiric powers they represent. For example, a street thug wont be as eager to point a gun at your face if you just snapped his buddy in half with Blood Strength. Feed This discipline allows you to feed on enemies. Only works on humanoid opponents. Can also be used on allies to share blood but beware, you can also kill them using feed. Each level increases chances on successfully biting an unwilling target Blood Healing This ability allows you to consume a part of your blood pool to heal health. A very important ability. Increases the amount healed when level is risen. Blood strength Increases the strength attribute directly, as such you will temporarily be able to use bigger weapons and deal more melee damage. Effect increased with every level. Blood dexterity Increases your dexterity, thusly the chances of landing critical hits and the chances of hitting an enemy at all. Effect increased with every level. Blood stamina Increases your stamina, thusly reducing the damage received from sources dealing either Lethal or Bashing damage. Effect increased with every level. Awaken An excellent discipline that allows you to reawaken teammates. Though it’s costly, it can mean the difference between live or death. Each level increases the amount of health and blood with which the target is revived. Walk the Abyss This ability allows you and your teammates to travel back to town, sell wares, and then head right back to the point where you left off. Very useful if your inventory becomes full regularly. Animalism Feral Whispers This discipline allows you to take control over beast enemies, allowing you to turn the tide against enemies by outnumbering them by using their own numbers against them. (note, doesn’t work on beast-like opponents, such as werewolves) Requires 25 manipulation. Beckoning Allows you to summon animal pets. The higher the level, the stronger the pets and the longer they last. Requires 35 charisma. Quell the Beast Allows you to reduce frenzy rating in nearby enemies, allies and yourself. If you don’t like frenzies, this is your best friend. Effect increased with every level gained. Requires 50 manipulation.

Requires at least an averagely high perception. Heightened Senses Increases vampiric senses, allowing you to see what cannot be seen. Lights the area around you and works as a counter against invisibility disciplines. Requires 25 perception. Aura Perception Grants you important information about an enemy, such as their attitude, clan, blood and health. Requires 35 perception. Spirits touch This discipline is needed to identify rare items. Use this on a item that you want identified so you get to know it’s stats. Requires 30 perception. Psychic Projection Allows you to move around as some sort of invisible spirit, which cannot be attacked nor gives your position away to enemies. Your body remains behind until the discipline ends. Blood magic A form of Thaumaturgy practised by almost all Tremere. It is the most basic form of Thaumaturgy. RP Mainly a combat discipline, but one might be able to use it creatively. Blood rage Target loses blood, also can cause minor frenzy. Blood of Potency While active, this ability reduces the cost for any discipline the caster uses. Theft of Vitea Steals blood from targeted enemy. Requires 40 intelligence. Cauldron of Blood Causes the blood of a target to boil, dealing heavy fire damage. Requires 50 intelligence. Blood Rituals Another form of Thaumaturgy, it involves rituals of the blood, and has a wide variety of uses. (The only way to learn this discipline is by using the correct Tome) RP Mainly a combat discipline, but one might be able to use it creatively Heart of Stone Provides temporary protection against stakes. Requires 25 intelligence and 25 wits. Prison of Ice Freezes an opponent in a block of ice, dealing damage and preventing the enemy from taking action. Requires 35 intelligence and 35 wits.

A discipline that naturally comes to clans with a naturally strong will, dominate allows a vampire to control others, in more ways then one. However, this discipline has a distinct weakness that it does not work on any kindred that are of lower generation then the caster. Command Grants brief control over an enemy. (Does not work on Kindred of a lower generation then the caster.) Requires 25 manipulation. Mesmerize Calls a creature towards you, preventing them from taking any action.

Fortitude One of the stand-alone physical disciplines, Fortitude decreases all damage you take while the effect is active. Hands of Destruction A form of Thaumaturgy developed by Tremere Attribu in the Sabbat, this focuses on pure destruction to the point where a skilled user can turn an enemy to dust using a single touch. Recently, Camarilla Tremere have also taken this form of Thaumaturgy to their own. Requires very low humanity to use the highest levels, as well as lots of intelligence. (The only way to learn this discipline is by using the correct Tome) RP This is mainly a combat discipline, but it is also the most feared form of Thaumaturgy to date. Decay Causes Aggravated damage on touched target. Requires 25 intelligence, humanity may not be above 60. Acidic Touch Deals Aggravated damage on touched target. (more then the above) Requires 35 intelligence, humanity may not be above 50.

Turn to dust Causes Aggravated damage on touched target. (much more damage then above) Requires 60 Intelligence, humanity may not be above 25. Lure of Flames An infernalist form of Thaumaturgy, this allows the Tremere to create fire out of thin air. Requires very high levels of intelligence. (The only way to learn this discipline is by using the correct Tome) RP Though this form of Thaumaturgy is undoubtedly spread far across Tremere all over the world, one should be careful when using it near elders, as this discipline might be of Infernalist nature and infernalist vampires are hunted to death. Torch Creates a ball of light that follows the user, lighting dark areas. Requires 25 intelligence. Fireball Propels a fireball at an enemy target. Requires 35 intelligence. Flame Ring Creates a ring of fire around the user, dealing fire damage to all nearby enemies. Requires, 50 intelligence. Immolate Damages touched target with a searing flame.

It deals with manipulating the state of death, whether by raising the dead in your service or by spreading a virulent plague among the living. Requires high wits, perception and intelligence. RP If you need to interact with the recently deceased, this is your discipline! Did a friend just die on you before he could speak what happened? Just summon his soul from the void and make the bastard talk! Shambling Hordes Allows you to resurrect the corpses of the fallen as your undead minions. Requires 25 wits.

RP Human magic is typically weaker then vampiric magic, but still it is feared. Just so you know, the church/vampire hunters don’t approve of mages. Invisibility Temporarily removes user from visible sight. Requires 25 perception and 25 intelligence. Flash Deals fire damage on an enemy and increases frenzy rating. Requires 35 perception and 35 intelligence. True sight Counters invisibility and enhances sight in the darkness. Obfuscate The art those vampires that need secrecy love the most is Obfuscate, a discipline the Nosferatu in particular are notorious for. Obfuscate allows a vampire to disguise him/herself as any other person, or even become completely invisible. RP Need discretion? Obfuscate allows you to move around unseen and unknown, and disguise yourself as others. Cloak of Shadows Turns user invisible. Requires 25 wits. Mask of a Thousand Faces Disguises the user as target creature. Requires 30 wits. Cloak the Gathering Turns the entire team invisible. Requires 40 wits. Obtenebration Dark hunter The special discipline of clan Lasombra, this allows the user to summon dark hunters from the netherrealms to aid in combat. (The only way to learn this discipline is by using the correct Tome) RP Dark hunters, unlike wraiths, are not souls, so will generally provide with little usefull information. However, kine and young fledgelings have a habit of panicking the moment the shadows become shambling figures. Presence Presence is the special discipline used by those clans that surround themselves with others. Many powerful mesmerizing type effects are contained in this discipline group. This discipline requires high charisma and appearance. RP Presence is all about looks. If you want people to be awed, dreaded or entranced, Presence is an excellent discipline. Awe Charms the target towards the user, causing the target to walk up to the user and perform no other actions. Requires 25 charisma. Dread Gaze Causes fear in a target. Requires 35 Charisma. Entrancement You gain control of target opponent. Requires 50 appearance. Majesty All surrounding creatures stop and gaze at the user, taking no other action. Requires 60 appearance. Potence One of the physical disciplines, potence increases the damage of your attacks by granting superhuman strength. RP Potence grants you immense physical strength. Use in any way deemed necessary, maybe break metal or juggle dumpsters or something. Protean The discipline of clan Gangrel, protean involves shapeshifting into natural forms, such as beasts of piles of natural earth. RP Protean grants you the ability to change into animals/change parts of you into animal parts. Eyes of the Beast will enhance your vision, Earth Meld and Mist form grant you an alternative way of escaping a fight and the rest is obvious. Eyes of the Beast Lights dark areas and works as a counter against invisibility. Feral Claws The user grows vicious claws which deal aggravated damage. Each level increase the strength of the claws as well as duration. (any weapon carried while this discipline is active will become non-active, but is not lost. While feral claws is active, no weapons may be equipped) Earth meld The user melds with the earth, quickly regenerating health while being immune to everything. Cancelled if user moves. Shape of the Beast Turns the user into a wolf, granting the same bonus as Feral Claws. (supposedly shape of the beast deals the same amount of damage as feral claws, but I think it also adds the effect of Eyes of the Beast) Mist form User transforms into a cloud of mist, becoming invulnerable for any form of damage while being able to move freely. Serpentis The dark discipline of clan Setite, it allows the user to take on many aspects of serpents or serpent mythology. (The only way to learn this discipline is by using the correct Tome) RP Serpentis’ main usage during RP will revolve around Eyes of the Serpent (to daze the mind of a foe), Skin of the Adder (which makes you look scary) and Hatch the Viper (for those of you who have Ophidiophobia) Eyes of the Serpent Target becomes Dazed, moving around aimlessly while not being able to take any action. Tongue of the Asp Steals blood from an enemy. Skin of the Adder Decreases incoming damage by turning your skin to armoured scales.(effects appearance) Hatch the Viper Creates a viper to aid you in combat.
