CLAN SAMEDI 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
Samedi.
_______________________________________________________________
Disciplines: Thanotosis, Necromancy,
Obfuscate
Thanotosis
A particularly unpleasant
discipline possesed only by the Samedi. This is the power
that began tales of Voodoo on Haiti. It gives
the user's control over their own corpses and to some
extent over the bodies of their enemies.
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.
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.
