| CLAN ASSAMITE DISCIPLINES
_______________________________________________________________
Disciplines are the
special ablitiys that are inate within a vampires blood
they are used in battle and in everday life. The
following is a list of disciplines for clan
Assamite.
_______________________________________________________________
Disciplines: Celerity, Obfuscate,
Quietus
Celerity
The Embrace gifts some vampires with
startling speed and reflexes. They can use Celerity to
move with amazing swiftness in
times of stress. Mortals, and even Kindred lacking this
Discipline, move as if in slow motion compared to the
astonishing blur the
vampire becomes. Celerity is common among the Assamite,
Brujah and Toreador clans. The Assamites use this ability
to strike
down their foes before the victims are even aware of the
attack. Brujah delight in the advantage this Discipline
gives them against
superior numbers of opponents. Toreador are more likely
to use Celerity to lend preternatural grace to live
performances such
as dance or extraordinary speed when creating sculptures
or paintings, however, they can be as terrifying as any
Assamite or
Brujah when angered.
Obfuscate
This uncanny power enables
Kindred to conceal themselves from others' sight. By
simply wishing to remain unseen, a vampire
can disappear, even if he stands in full view of a crowd.
The immortal doesn't actually become invisible; he simply
deludes any
observers into thinking he has vanished. Additional uses
of Obfuscate include changing the Kindred's features and
concealing
other people or objects. Unless the vampire purposefully
makes himself seen, he can remain obscured indefinitely.
At higher
levels of power, the vampire may fade from view so subtly
that those nearby never register the point at which he
"left." Under
most circumstances, few mortals or supematurals can
penetrate Obfuscates cloaking fog. Animals, operating on
a more
instinctual level, often perceive (and fear) the
vampire's presence even if they can't detect him with
their normal senses.
Quietus
Quietus, the discipline of
silent death, is practiced by the assassins of clan
Assamite. Using the principles of poison, vitae control
and pestilence, this blood-based discipline focuses on
the destruction of its target through varying means.
Quietus does not
always cause a quick death; the Assassins rely upon its
secret lethality to hide their involvement with their
victims.
