Splat Specific Rules

Blood Oath

1) The Blood Oath (or blood bond) is a feature that has no persistent mechanical support yet, but is very popular for story arcs. This progressive process of dependency requires feeding the 'thrall' vitae from the 'regnant' multiple times, on multiple nights. Childer of kindred start with one level of blood bond to their sire, if they are not already under its effects. Cross round persistence of the Blood Oath is only permitted when both parties OOCly consent to it, with the exception being a newly sired vampire.

Discipline Teaching

Kindred have the ability to share their blood disciplines between one another. Discipline teaching should not be reciprocal trades, and have the following additional restrictions: Kindred character sheets may have two additional disciplines for a limit of 5 disciplines total. Caitiff are also limited by this rule.

Trusted Whitelist player character sheets are entirely immune from this restriction. They are however under much higher scrutiny regarding the disciplines they possess on a character.

A kindred character may have one additional "rare discipline" and a "common" one, or two additional common ones. If a character has two rare disciplines, any remaining disciplines should be common.

Any Discipline teaching must be roleplayed out, and is subject to Lore Team, and Admin scrutiny. This is regardless of whitelist, trusted, or any privileged status either participant may have. Common disciplines that have been taught may raise their stat one dot per lesson, and Rare disciplines four to five lessons per dot.


Disciplines are distinguished as follows:

Rare disciplines
Common disciplines

Delirium

1) Delirium is the instinctive fear that effects human beings who see Fera in their war forms, with the exception of kinfolk, ghouls, and vampires. Due to the lack of mechanical backup at this time, Delirium may be roleplayed in most ways dependent on the willpower of the character, including very rare high willpower reactions. Good faith will be assumed unless a pattern of behavior shows otherwise in these cases.
