| CLAN TREMERE 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
Tremerer.

Disciplines: Auspex, Dominate,
Thaumaturgy
Auspex
This Discipline bestows uncanny sensory
abilities upon the vampire. While Auspex initially
heightens all of the Kindred's senses
significantly, that is merely the beginning. As she grows
in power, the vampire can perceive the psychic auras that
flow around
her and even project her mind into another being's
thoughts. Furthermore, Auspex can pierce the disguises
that Obfuscate
creates. Such sensory command gives the vampire a
distinct advantage over mortals and even many
supernaturals. Whether
these talents let her view a distant haven, sense the
prince's mood or pluck secrets from a rival Kindred's
ghoul, Auspex is a
powerful tool. Still, the vampire must be careful lest
this heightened sensitivity cause her to be distracted by
beautiful things,
startled by loud noises or overwhelmed by foul smells
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.
Thaumaturgy
The Discipline of
Thaumaturgy encompasses blood magic and other sorcerous
arts. Thaumaturgy is the unique possession of the
Tremere and one of its most jealously guarded secrets.
Certain kindred rumors even speak of mystic cabals of
Tremere that
hunt down those thaumaturges who are not members of the
Warlocks' clan. Clan Tremere created this discipline by
combining
mortal wizardry with the power of vampiric vitae. Though
its existence is not widely known by mortal mages and
wizards, it is
seen as a disreputable aberration of true magick by those
familiar with it. Thaumaturgy is a versatile and powerful
discipline. Like
Necromancy, its practice is divided into two parts: paths
and rituals. Thaumaturgical paths are applications of the
vampire's
knowledge of blood magic, allowing her to create effects
at her whim. Rituals are more formulaic in nature, most
akin to the
ancient magical "spells" of bygone nights.
Because so many different paths and rituals are available
to the arcane Tremere, on
e never knows what to expect when confronted with a
practitioner of this discipline.
