Tzimisce

Daytime rest must take place among a specifically defined charge.

Overview

Animalism, Dominate, and Protean provide influence over creatures, minds, and physical form. Defining the charge is a substantial character decision because it determines where safe daytime rest is possible. Covetousness extends the issue of possession into immediate play, sometimes at odds with the coterie’s plans.

Disciplines

Animalism

Control and communication involving animals and the Beast.

Dominate

Supernatural interference with another person’s thoughts and actions.

Protean

Alteration of the vampire’s physical form.

Bane

Tzimisce Bane

Daytime rest must take place among a specifically defined charge.

Define a bounded charge for the character, such as a place, group, organization, or another clearly delimited subject. The vampire must be surrounded by that charge while sleeping during the day. Otherwise, waking inflicts aggravated Willpower damage equal to Bane Severity.

Compulsion

Covetousness

Select an object, property, or person present that the vampire wants to possess. Unrelated actions lose 2 dice until ownership is established or obtaining it becomes impossible. For a subject that cannot simply be carried away, the Storyteller determines what establishing ownership requires.
