Disciplines Explained

 

 

Abjurism  -  Hypnagogia  -  Suikast  -  Mimetismo  -  Getsumei

 

Abjurism: Provide protection against supernatural beings; it creates a shield against powers such as Disciplines, Gifts, Rotes, Transmutations, and Contracts, but is useless against mundane attacks

 

A quick prayer that grants the Septemi a boost of supernatural protection. A ritual that banishes supernatural illusion, showing the user what is real and what is an elaborate hoax. Purification from within, giving a way to prevent outsiders from entering one's mind

 

 

Hypnagogia:  Implant false notions and steal information from the sleeping

 

Collects a single memory from the sleeper, and places it into an abyssal memory storage inside the Usiri. Destroys a memory inside the sleeper, allowing it to be replaced with any memory the user desires. The target is rendered insensate, hypnotized; they cannot feel emotions other than bliss, and the Beast even loses its ferocity. Tricks the target into thinking that the user is a guide through the realm of dreams, that can be trusted with secrets

 

 

Suikast: The secret origins of this legendary and fearsome Discipline have been lost, but its purpose is well known: Suikast was devised to destroy Dracula

 

The basic power of Suikast helps the Azerkatil to maintain his wits in the face of a savage foe. With this power, the Dragonslayer refines his resistance against the most hindering weakness of a killer: fear. A Kindred with this power has a formidable ability to draw insight from the mere scent and taste of another Kindred’s blood. By drinking the Vitae of another vampire — and risking all the associated effects — the character gains a kind of mystical connection to the subject. The curse of the Dragonslayers turns blood into soot, robbing other vampires of their ability to heal and spark the supernatural powers of their own Vitae.

 

 

Mimetismo: Gives an acute sense of hearing and will give you a gift for mimicking sounds.

 

The vampire may precisely mimic any sound they have heard (live; recordings don't work) that could be made by human vocal chords, including a specific person's voice, and make it seem to come from another sourceBat-like sonar is used to perceive the surroundings, acting without penalties for blindness, even extending their awareness through solid objectsThe vampire produces a sound which stuns and potentially deafens an opponent.

 

 

Getsumei: This allows Kin to perform such amazing feats as staring into the eyes of a dead man to see what he saw or raising that same corpse as a shambling zombie

 

Preserves a mortal corpse in its current state without need for chemicals. Causes flesh to harden in the manner of a decaying corpse, granting him armor-like protection. Raises one or more corpses as servants which carry out a simple order
