CLAN GIOVANNI 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
Giovanni.
_______________________________________________________________
Disciplines: Dominate, Necromany,
Potence
Dominate
This Discipline involves
influencing the very thoughts and actions of others
through the vampire's own force of will. Use of
Dominate requires that the Kindred capture his victim's
eye; as such, it may be used against only one subject at
a time. The
extent of this control depends on the particular power
being applied. while truly potent, Dominate powers can be
exacting to
perform. Commands must be issued verbally; after all,
direct mind-to-mind contact is the purview of Auspex.
Still, some simple
orders may be made with signs.
Necromancy
Necromancy is at once a
Discipline and a school of magical learning, all
dedicated toward the command of the souls of the
dead. It has some similarities to Thaumaturgy in that,
rather than being a strict linear progression of powers,
Necromancy
consists of several "paths" and accompanying
"rituals." Well trained and puissant vampiric
necromancers can summon the dead,
banish or imprison souls, and even reinsert ghosts into
living - or unliving bodies. Needless to say, the study
of Necromancy is
not widespread among the Kindred, and its practitioners -
primarily Giovanni Kindred - are shunned or ignored
whenever
possible. Over the centuries, the various schools of
vampiric Necromancy have diversified, leaving three
distinct paths of
necromantic magic available to Dominites. All
necromancers first learn the so called Sepulchre Path,
then extend their studies to
the Bone Path or the Ash Path as time and opportunity
permit.
Potence
Vampires endowed with this discipline
possess preternatural strength. Potence enables vampires
to leap tremendous distances,
lift massive weights and strike opponents with terrifying
force. Even the lowest ranks of this power gift the
Kindred with physical
might beyond mortal bounds. More powerful immortals have
been known to leap so far they seem to be flying, toss
cars aside
like tin cans, and punch through concrete as if it were
cardboard. While the mental Disciplines are awe
inspiring, Potence's brute
effectiveness is formidable in its own right. Clans
Brujah, Giovanni, Lasombra and Nosferatu are the primary
possessors of this
Discipline. Still, members of other clans often make a
point to search out someone who can enlighten them in the
ways of
Potence.
