Gangrel

Frenzy leaves temporary animal traits with Attribute penalties.

Overview

Animalism, Fortitude, and Protean offer ways to relate to animals, endure danger, and transform. Frenzy can leave visible changes and reduced Attributes after the immediate danger is over. Feral Impulses also limits planning and conversation, which matters when the group relies on the character to negotiate or explain a situation.

Disciplines

Animalism

Control and communication involving animals and the Beast.

Fortitude

Resistance to harm and coercion beyond ordinary endurance.

Protean

Alteration of the vampire’s physical form.

Bane

Gangrel Bane

Frenzy leaves temporary animal traits with Attribute penalties.

After frenzy, gain animal traits equal in number to Bane Severity. Each reduces an Attribute by 1; the Storyteller chooses the Attribute to fit the change, using Intelligence or Manipulation as fallbacks. The traits persist for one additional night after the frenzy. Riding the Wave instead permits a single animal trait and a single Attribute reduction.

Compulsion

Feral Impulses

For one scene, subtract 3 dice from rolls involving Intelligence or Manipulation. Speech is limited to single words.
