Animalism
Animalism is a Discipline that brings the vampire closer to their animalistic nature. This not only allows them to communicate with and gain dominance over creatures of nature, but gives them influence over the Beast itself.
Associated Powers:
Level 1: Summon a rat minion. 1 BP.
Level 2: Summon a cat minion. 1 BP.
Level 3: Summon a dog minion. This is the only animal which gives you 2 BP, meaning you can feed off them. 1 BP.
Level 4: Summon a bat minion which drains the blood or vitae of the target. 1 BP.
Note: Summoning any of the four animals breaks the Masquerade, but having them present does not. You can summon bats in a hidden area then walk with them through the city.
Level 5: Shapeshift into a bat for around 20 seconds. You cannot end the shapeshift early, and must wait the full 20 seconds before returning to human form. You can move up or down using the buttons in the IC menu, but cannot fit through open windows and the like. You can also attack in bat form, but receiving damage turns you back to a human. Transforming may break the masquerade, but flying around after the transformation does not. 1 BP.
