VampireTEM

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
Ventrue.

Disciplines: Dominate, Fortitude, Presence

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.

Fortitude

All vampires possess a preternatural constitution that makes most normal damage inconsequential. Fortitude bestows a resilience
and vigor far beyond even normal vampiric toughness. Kindred with this power ignore the mightiest punches and barely feel hails
of bullets. This Discipline also helps protect against sources of damage even vampires fear, such as sunlight, fire and terminal
falls. Gangrel, Ravnos and Ventrue possess this potent ability. Gangrel enjoy the benefit of Fortitude as a matter of course, but
Ravnos and especially Ventrue delight in the power's psychological effects. It's not unusual for a Ventrue to take a "fatal" blow,
giving his opponent just enough time to register the vampire's smile before the Ventrue finishes off the shocked victim.

Presence

This is the Discipline of supernatural attraction. Kindred who develop Presence can inspire zealous fervor, devoted passion or
unspeakable terror in mortal and immortal alike. This subtle power is one of the most useful disciplines a vampire can have.
Presence is notable since, unlike virtually all other disciplines, some of its powers can be used on entire crowds at a time. The
vampire may bring large groups under her sway, so long as her face is visible to those she wishes to affect - Presence doesn't
even require eye contact. Further, this Discipline transcends race, religion, gender, class and (most importantly) supernatural
nature. In theory, the powers have the same chance of affecting a Methuselah as they do a cab driver. In practice, while
Presence can sway virtually any immortal, older and more canny Kindred are much more likely to notice the influence and resist
with preternatural will. Quite aside from its deliberate uses, Presence conveys upon the vampire an indescribable mystique. She
stands out in any crowd, drawing the interest (and often desire) of those around her even when she's merely standing still. The
higher the vampire's Presence, the greater this allure and the more powerful its impact on others.
