Rift Discipline

[ Gaki ]
[ Kindred | Alpha Page | Disciplines ]

Level Power/Description/System/(Difficulty)
1
The Joining - "tsutaeru"
This power allows one to silently communicate with both anyone within eyesight him and other Gaki anywhere. Attempts to communicate with Gaki are automatically successful unless the other Gaki is blocking such contact.
Wits + Linguistics
(7)
2
Glimpse of the Pain - "tsukamu"
Gaki begins to draw others into his realm of agony, if only for a moment. This power allows (forces) a target to see the Gaki's own rift. This look at a whole microverse of guilt, sin, frustration and horror is often more than most can handle. Being blind or closing one's eyes can lessen the agony, but the rift is a complete sensory and psychic experience, so the victim may still be affected.

If a Vampire:
To Resist: Courage (Humanity +2)
For others:
Perception + Intimidation, (6)
resist: Willpower (6)
3
Crossing The Iron Bridge
Begins to deal with his own inner demons. This power allows him to enter into his rift, confronting all that which make it hell. The Gaki actually disappears from the place he was, and will reappear there shortly.
For every turn within the Rift:
Self-Control, (Conscience) for every turn he remains there.
4
Journeying the Iron Bridge
When a Gaki first becomes able to Cross the Iron Bridge, all he can take with him are those inanimate items which have a personal connection (clothes, keepsakes, etc.) and these just for a short time. With the fouth level of this power, the Gaki can take anything with him. In addition, the Gaki can stay in the rift for as long as he wants... or can.
Stamina + Survival
(6.)
5
Passing the Inner Realm
Gaki begins to learn how to manipulate the rift, using this horror to his own advantage. While the rift is not infinite, the Gaki can travel through it, invisible to the outside world, to any point he could see before entering the rift. He can even enter the rifts of other gaki he could see before using this power. This movement takes as long as crossing the distance physically would, but the Gaki can avoid barriers, reappear behind foes, aviod attacks, etc.
To use this power before an attack can hit:
Wits + Dodge
(Dexterity + 1)
6
Collection
Manipulate objects without having to enter the rift. Collection allows him to send inanimate objects he touches into the rift or call back items which have stored there.

Transport
A Gaki is able to Transport any object he can touch and send it through his rift to any point he can see.
Targeting:
Dexterity + Athletics

7
Doorway to Hell
Generally a Gaki's rift comes with hiM wherever he goes. However, with the Doorway to Hell, the Gaki can create a physical enterance to his rift somewhere, one that anyone can enter. Setting up the doorway requires a location with an enterance way. Others entering through the doorway are affected as though they had a Glimpse of the pain.
1 Permenant Willpower
Eyes of the Thief
Lets the Gaki take any object he can see and send it into his rift.
Perception + Alertness
(7)
8
Gateway
By touching someone the Gaki can send others through the rift. The Target has to deal with Glimpse of the Pain While in the Rift.

Perception + Empathy for Targeting + Two Willpower points ( one to send the target into the rift and one to get him back out )
Touch of Sin
Grab others and bring them involuntarily into his rift. Those brought in by this power experience the same effects as someone getting a Glimpse of the Pain, but each turn he remains in the rift, the difficulty of his Willpower roll increases by one and the Gaki's decreases by one. Every time the victim botches a Willpower roll, he gains a Derangement. The victim can leave if he gains more successes on his roll, or the Gaki leaves the rift.
Manipulation + Braw
(Humanity + 2).
9
Imprison
The victim imprisoned by the Gaki is caught in the rift until the Gaki cares to release him (or the victim manages to find a Doorway, if there is one). Three successes means the victim is sent to the Gaki's rift as in a Touch of Sin, except the Gaki need not spend Willpower to keep him there. Note that since many who are imprisoned are guaranteed to go mad if left in a Rift too long, this is a good way for a Gaki to lose Humanity.
Manipulation + Intimidation
(WillPower) roll against the Willpower of whoever it is he holds.
10
Manifest the Horror
Open his rift onto the outside world. He can loose any sort of torments found in the rift. This can include "oni" ( demons ), Hima, giant multi-headed, lightning-breathing lobster-eagles, whirling tornadoes of fire and light or anything else the Storyteller's fiendish imagination can come up with.

1 Will per entity that leaves the rift.
To Control Manifestations: Charisma + Empathy
