Not required

2 · The Rebel Trail

When ingested vitae risks binding you, a successful Willpower test at Difficulty equal to its Blood Potency lets you avoid that bonding effect.

Not required

3 · Unorthodox Rituals

Once per story, perform a ritual you know without its Blood expenditure. A messy critical causes a Storyteller-defined psychological disturbance lasting through the story.

4 · Reimagined Bond

Sex with a mortal or vampire partner creates a Blood Bond connecting the partner, you, and Carna even when Carna is absent. Repeated encounters strengthen it normally. This bypasses the Tremere Bane, but the Bond ends with the story.

5 · Book of the Grave-War

Possession and observance of the book’s teachings make you unbondable and grant one automatic success on Occult tests about Gehenna, preventing it, or escaping elders’ control. Tremere seek both you and the book; the Storyteller may apply a one-die penalty to Social or Mental tests affected by your paranoia.
