Combination Disciplines

Combination Disciplines are unique powers that emerge from mastering multiple Disciplines simultaneously. They must be learned separately (costing XP as listed) and are not automatically gained when prerequisites are met.

Learning: A character must meet all listed prerequisites, find a teacher or develop the power through extended experimentation (Storyteller approval), and pay the XP cost.

Powers available only to Kindred who have elevated a Discipline beyond the mortal ceiling. Extremely rare in the modern nights; represent centuries of focused cultivation. XP costs vary and are determined by Storyteller.

Power	Prerequisite	Effect
Alabastard	Fortitude 6	1 BP to activate. Ignore all wound penalties for the scene. Storyteller may impose logical situational penalties (e.g., severed limb) but no dice pool reductions from Health chart.
Oathbreaker	Vicissitude 8	1 BP + 1 WP per dose created. Each dose breaks one blood bond in the drinker; freedom lasts one month and one night. After breaking the bond, invoker may spend 10 WP in a single scene to substitute a false bond to themselves lasting 1 year.

Tireless Tread	Celerity 6	1 BP per night. Travel at 50 mph for a minimum of 8 hours (minimum 400 miles). Any significant pause collapses the rhythm and the power fails entirely for that night.
Turnabout	Protean 6	2 BP. On the turn after melding into earth, emerge from any spot within 50 feet — including behind or to either side of enemies. May also be used to move through up to 50 feet of earth underground without emerging.

Vengeance of the Martyr’s Legacy (Mandate)	Presence 8	1 WP. Forces frenzy in all descendants automatically, no roll. Frenzying Kindred may spend WP to direct themselves normally.
