Vampire

VAMPIRE VAMPIRES
Vampires are the creatures of the night and thus take damage if exposed
to daylight. Vampires cannot eat food, or drink any liquids except for
blood. If they cannot drink blood for a long duration of time they will
start taking damage or maybe even go berserk, so it's a good idea to feed
from time to time. Vampires take half damage from cold,
none from gas, and double from fire, although those with the Heat
immunity take normal fire damage rather than double. Other abilities:

* Embrace - Allows you to feed from the willing or defenceless.
* Order - As if target lower generation vampire of your clan was charmed.
* Introduce - Informs everyone in the room of your vampire lineage.
* Vamptalk - A special vampire channel which distinguishes between clans.
* Regenerate - Vampires need to use this to regen, use: regen <number of rounds>
* Vclan - Shows information on the other members of a vampires clan.
* Feed - For feeding other vampires with your blood.
* Favour - Make a vampire a Prince, allow them to sire a childe, accepts
or inducts them into the clan, or outcasts them from the clan.
* Powers - Lists all the commands (NOT powers) available to you.
* Clan - Shows your personal and clan disciplines.
* Disciplines - shows all the disciplines that you know and their level. (see later)
* Defence/vampire - lowers and raises defences towards other vampires so they can feed
from you/teach you disciplines.
* Teach <target> <discipline> - teach other vampires disciplines.
* Upkeep - shows what powers you are currently utilising.
* Fangs - Gives a free bite attack in combat.
* varmor - Create vampire armor, cost 100 primal and 400 quest points.

In addition, all vampires get 3 or more disciplines, each of which grant
one or more extra powers. For more information type 'help disciplines'.

[*] Pigeon 'target' - A vampire with this power may command a pigeon to carry
an object that he possesses and give it to another player or mob.

specific type of animal and summon it to you, they may not offer immediate
assistance to the vampire but they will be favorably disposed. Horses, frogs,
ravens, cats, dogs and yaks may be called upon.

[***] Song 'target' - Vampires are the supreme predators of the natural world, most
vampires believe that within each of them lies the spirit of a ravenous beast,
similar to the beast that lies in mortal hearts. With this power the vampire
may reach out to a mortal and and briefly connect their bestial spirits,
that brief contact may be enough to supress the targets beast and make them
less likely to attack.

[****] Share 'target' - This allows the vampire to reach out with his mind and to
move into the mind of a beckoned animal and to thus share it. The animal
can then be given controlled using [.

[*****] Beast 'target' - With this level of animalism, the vampire has a good
understanding of the beast within, this allows them to fling the spirit of
the beast out of their body and into that of another. This makes the recipient
immediately overcome by frenzy. This power can also be turned inward to
release the power of the vampire's beast in all of it's fury.

[******] Succulence - Increase the quailty of a targets blood.

[*******] Frenzy - Puts the beast in control of your actions, increases your rage.

AUSPEX
This Discipline is one of extrasensory awareness, empathy and
perception. Those using this Discipline tend to be strongly affected by
environmental phenomena. Vampires with Auspex are able to see and sense
things most other people cannot. Auspex is the opposing Discipline to
Obfuscate, and they cancel out many of each others powers.

This Discipline allows the following powers:
[*] Heighten - By sharpening all of their five senses the vampire is able to
detect a wide variety of beings and objects that would usually lay
hidden to mortals, this power is tightly interwoven with the discipline
and the range of things that can be detected increases as the discipline does.

[**] Readaura 'target' - This enables the vampire to detect and read the mystical
halos that surround all beings, the colours that they see tell them much and
give them insight into how powerful their targets are. At higher levels
this power may be extended to discover detailed information about objects
that the vampire possesses.

[***] Unveil 'target' - By forming a bridge between their mind and another's,
the vampire may actually read the thoughts of their target, "stolen"
thoughts are as audible to the vampire as normal speech.

[****] Astral - At this level of mastery the vampire can expand their senses beyond
their physical body and travel quickly to any place or person that they can
imagine. Use [<command> and [move <target>.

[*****] Scry and scry 'target' - By concentrating on a single person the vampire can
actually see through their eyes and see exactly where they are, also the
vampire can spread their concentration across a large area and gain an insight
into the location of many different people, unless the intended target has
supernatural protection of some kind.

[******] Mindblast - Alows the vampire to use the power of his mind to stun a victim.

[*******] Omnipotence - Alows the vampire to create a spectral eye to follow a
target. Comman the eye by using [.

CELERITY
This Discipline explains the legendary superior quickness of vampires.
They have the ability to move with amazing speed and become little more than a blur
to mortal eyes, obviously such an ability is extremely useful allowing the vampire to
hit and dodge faster than lesser opponents. Typing 'celerity renew' will renew your
celerity while you are still fighting.

CHIMERSTRY
[*] Mirror - This allows the vampire to form a mirror image of himself
which will look exactly as he does but once forced to interact with
the real world it will vanish completely.

[**] Formillusion 'target' - This will form an exact copy of the target
and it will be every bit as real to the beholder as real people, however
upon death destruction is complete and no traces will remain.

[***] Clone 'target' - The vampire that uses this has the ability to completely
clone objects making exact duplicates that are every bit as real and as
powerful as the original, however the it is only really an illusion and
as time passes so will the clone.

[****] Falseappearance 'object' - By using this power the vampire gains the
ability to change the name and description of a object.

gains the power to control his illusions and may command them to do his
bidding but using [<command>.

[*] Guardian - This lets the vampire call upon the power of hell and summon
a demon to aid them as needed.

who listen to them into fits of terror at the damnation that awaits them
in the afterlife, rendering them incapable of hostile actions.

[***] Portal 'target' - When the vampire reaches this level of the discipline
they gain the ability to call forth a portal through hell that reaches
out to other players, allowing them to travel to them, providing the
intended target has their summon on.

[****] Curse 'target' - This will let the vampire call forth a terrible curse
on their victims actually causing their limbs to wither up and fall off
of their bodys.

[*****] Soultwist - The good fear this power for it allows the user to reach into
their very being and attempt to rip out their soul, in fact the more pure
the target the more damage that is done. If this wasn't enough, at this
level of power the vampire gains resistance to heat and fire, preparing
them for their final passage to hell.

[*****] Servant: A much stronger version of Guardian.

[*****] Baal: Allow the demon god Baal to possess you, increasing your abilities.

[*****] Flames - Shoot flames from you finger tips at your target.

DOMINATE
This discipline reflects the mystical ability of vampires to influence
the minds and actions of others. Dominate is an aspect of the power of
the mind and the will.

This Discipline allows the following powers:

[*] Command 'target' 'order' - By intruding upon a subject's mind the
vampire can impose a one-word command which will be instantly obeyed,
however this will only work upon those who are weak of will.

[**] Condition 'target' - Through manipulation and subtle temptation, a
vampire can make their subject more pliant to suggestion, to the point
where they will always obey their commands once they have been fully
conditioned.

[***] Possesion 'target' - This power allows the vampire to perform the atrocity
of taking complete control of another's body and mind. By stealing their
mind the vampire has complete control over them and may use their body
as freely as their own by using [.

[****] Loyalty 'target' - This assures the loyalty of the target to the vampire,
they will believe that the vampire is their master, meaning that they will
always obey their commands and will never be able to bring themselves to
harm them.

FORTITUDE
Fortitude describes a type of supernatural toughness and vigor which
allows Kindred to resist harm. Many vampires are very tough and are able
to withstand a lot of injury inflicted by weapons and spells. However
with the Fortitude power, they resist damage even further by often keeping
the weapons from harming them at all.

take you down to 1.

[*****] Renew 'target' - complete heal including growing bits back.

OBFUSCATE
Kindred with this Discipline excel at hiding among and away from crowds.
When they do not wish to be seen, others rarely notice them even if they
are standing in plain view. Though this Discipline affects others minds
and does not actually render the users invisible, the end result is much
the same. Obfuscate is the opposing Discipline to Auspex, and they
cancel out many of each others powers.

Kindred with this power gain the following advantages:
[*] Vanish - This allows a vampire to move around without being seen,
shadows seem to cling to him and people avert their eyes as they pass,
not even remembering that something was there. As the discipline increases
so does its potency.

[**] Mask 'Target' - A vampire using this power can alter somebody's perception so
entirely that they believe that they are actually seeing someone completely
different.

[*****] Soulmask - Not all disguises are skin deep. With this power the vampire can
not only completely shield his aura but also give forth false information about
himself making others believe that he is far more powerful, or weaker, than
in fact he actually is.

[*******] Shield - When a vampire activates this ability he effectively shields his
aura and his mind from prying perceptions making it impossible to locate them
through supernatural means.

OBTENEBRATION
Obtenebration allows the user to manipulate the powers of darkness. By
using their powers they are able to switch between the normal world and
the plane of shadows at will. They may also view things in both planes
simultaneously if they so wish.

This Discipline allows the following powers:
[*] Shroud - The vampire can blanket a whole area with an impenetrable inky
blackness, a darkness deeper than a moonlit night, anyone caught by
such a shroud will find it both disturbing and disorientating.

[**] Arms 'target' - This allows a vampire to call forth "tentacles" of solid
darkness from the shadows around him. These tentacles will then grasp
and restrain the vampires foes.

[***] Shadowbody - This lets the vampire turn their body into a slithering,
undulating shadow, vampires that use this power are virtually invulnerable
while in this form.

[****] Lamprey 'target' - This acutally calls forth the Darkness to strike the
vampires opponents, draining their blood from them as they stand and fight.

[*****] Shadowstep - The vampire may step into human-sized shadows and exit another
of similar size in another locale with this power. However shadows
require darkness, which can only be found in darkened rooms.

[*******] Shadow Armory - Creates weapons of pure shadow.

POTENCE
This Discipline defines the superior strength that vampires often
possess. This physical might allows the user to inflict much larger
amounts of damage in combat than normal.

PRESENCE
[*] Awe - Awe is very simple, once it is activated people want to be close to
the vampire, and they find it harder to attack them. However it is not so
powerful that it overrides their sense of self-preservation.

[**] Dreadgaze 'target' - This calls forth unbearable terror in its victims,
and it sends them into a reckless flight.

[***] Entrance 'target' - By using this power the vampire can turn others into
his willing servants. Out of what seems to them true devotion they follow
and obey the vampires commands.

[****] Summoning 'target' - With this power a vampire can call out to someone and
bring them forth from wherever they are, no matter how large the distance,
providing they have their summon on.

[*****] Majesty - This heightens the presence mystique a thousandfold. This inspires
respect and devotion, or fear, in everyone that the vampire meets, rendering
them unable to harm the vampire in any way.

PROTEAN
This Discipline allows a vampire to transform either their entire body or
a part of their body into something inhuman. The vampire can thus grow
claws, turn into a bat, transform into a wolf or dissolve into a fine
mist. A vampire can use most other Disciplines while shapeshifted, but
may not cast spells. Full transformation is not possible during combat,
although claws can be grown if you are fighting. While shapeshifted the
vampire cannot wear any equipment.

The powers available to this Discipline are as follows:
[*] Nightsight - The vampire is able to see normally after dark, without
any light source. When this is activated the Beast makes itself evident
in the vampire's red glowing eyes.

[**] Claws - This lets the vampire sprout long claws on each hand, like those
of a beast. They can rend flesh and armour alike and they inflict
aggravated wounds.

[***] Earthmeld - When a vampire calls forth this power they can actually
meld with and become one with the earth. Onlookers see the vampire
actually sink into the bare ground.

[****] Change: Allow the vampire to transform into bat, wolf or mist. Bat
form can fly and detect almost everything (invis, hidden, etc). While in
wolf form, the vampire enjoys the benefit of an extra 500hp and greatly
enhanced combat abilities. Mist form is impervious to attacks and can
pass through doors. Beware though, for two vampires in mist form CAN
attack each other.

[*****] Spiritform - Turns the vampires body translucent and insubstancial.

[******] Earthshift - Travel command while earthmelded.

[*******] Beastform - Take on the form of your Beast.

QUIETUS

preternatural calm, no sounds originate from the area directly around
the vampire, therefore masking the death screams of his victims.

[**] Weakness 'target' - This allows the vampire to transform his own blood
into poison and infect the body of his victim, lowering their strength.

[***] Infirmity 'target' - This is similar to weakness only more devastating,
and has a wider range of affects on the target.

[****] Bloodagony - With this power the vampire is able to poison any weapon
with his own blood, increasing the combat bonuses on it and granting it
the ability to do aggravated damage.

[*****] Spit 'target' - At this level of mastery the vampire is actually able to
spit his own blood at his opponents, transforming it once again into
venomous liquid that inflicts devastating injuries and aggravated damage.

SERPENTIS
Serpentis is the art of temptation and corruption. Vampires with this
Discipline have the ability to tear out their own hearts, rendering
themselves immune to being staked. Serpentis users also gain the ability
to transform themselves into a giant serpent and back at will.

[*] Tongue 'target' - The vampire with this ability may lengthen their tongue
at will, splitting it into a fork like that of a serpent. It can actually
reach out as far as 18 inches and makes a terrifying weapon in combat.

[**] Mummify - This allows the user to actually mummify himself, shriveling
into an almost invulnerable form. This induces a stated similar to torpor,
rendering the user completely immobile.

[***] Serpent - The vampire may change his form into that of a huge serpernt.
It weighs as much as the vampire's human form and streches over eight feet
long. This grants the vampire considerable advantages.

[****] Darkheart - With this ability the vampire may pull his heart from his body.
This means that they cannot then be staked.

[*****] Breath - This lets the vampire call forth on their inner corruption and to
spew it forth in a poisonous cloud of taint. This airborne poison is
powerful enough to wither trees and even corrode stone. It will stike everyone
in the room, dealing damage to all of them.

parameters, such things are cosmetic and minor in scope but may let them
actually resemble their target.

[**] Fleshcraft mod 'target' 'modification' - This allows the vampire to perform
drastic, grotesque alterations. Only flesh (including fat, muscle and
cartilage) may be transformed but the change is permanent. Fins, wings
and tails can be formed.

[***] Bonecraft mod 'target' 'modification' - This terrible power allows the
vampire to manipulate bone in the same manner that flesh is shaped.
Combined with fleshcraft this allows truely drastic alterations to me
made enabling the target to be made to look like virtually anything (bone
<whateveryouwant>), also tusks, horns and exoskeletons can be pulled out
of the targets body.

[****] Zuloform - The vampire who employs this power becomes the scariest monster,
the dread Zulo of Balkan peasants' terrified whispers. The vampire increased
to become eight feet tall; their skin changes to a grayish-black chitin;
the arms become apelike, tipped with ragged black nails; and the face warps
into something out of a nightmare.

[*****] Plasmaform - The blood is more than life to a vampire with this power, for
they can physically transform themselves into sentient vitae. It is as
normal blood, but it contains the very essence of the vampire.

[*******] Disintegration - Wreaks havoc on the victims body.
