Forward to Disciplines: It aint perfect and, sometimes, it aint pretty either, but it’s finally here. Disciplines from the V:tM rulebook (3rd Ed.) are presented only to the 5th level of power. Some of the Limitations used (such as Prerequisite) are exclusive to this write up and have no precedence in Hero supplements. I hope that for the time being they’re mostly self-explanatory. In the Near future I’ll go into detail about them, if necessary, and make my intentions more clear.

Oh, and all this Discipline stuff and the names of the different levels are copyrighted by White Wolf and are not my own invention. I wouldn’t dare challenge their copyright and their inclusion here is anything but. Also Champions, Fantasy Hero, Horror Hero and the Hero System are copy righted and trademarked, respectively, by Hero Games who shouldn’t get upset at me for using their system because I think it’s the greatest ever invented. The only thing I can claim credit for here is the way I use all this (C) and (TM) material together. Almost seems like I didn’t do anything all.

..Level 1: "Feral Whispers": 6D6 Mind Control; Telepathic (+0), Must have eye contact (-1/2), 2x END (-1/2), Concentrate: 0DCV (-1/2), Full Phase (-1/2). cost: 10pts

Total Cost: 21pts

(Note to "Beckoning": The power Summoning has been interpreted to mean that the player pays for the Base cost of those summoned (similar to purchasing Followers) instead of their Total Cost. I did this in order to allow the vampire to beckon a wide variety of animals while keeping the power's cost low. The Hero Bestiary has built all normal animals with a 50pt Base, therefore: any animal could possibly be summoned with this power. The GM has total control of how many animals actually appear. 64 rats might be reasonable, 64 lions would not.)

Necromancy: Practitioners of this art are required to buy the Int based Skill of the same name in order to use its arcane force. The reason I set up Necromancy powers as spells is so practitioners of Thaumaturgy could also use this Discipline in addition to their other spells. Thuamaturgists will be limited to the level of Necromancy they can learn by their Magery talent. Giovanni and Samedi, however, do not need to purchase the Magery talent to use Necromancy. Thaumaturgists may use their Magic Skill roll in place of the Necromancy Skill.

(Note to Thaumaturgy: Before a vampire can use these spells she must purchase the Magic Skill (Int/5+9= 3pts; +1 /2 points) to fulfill the Skill Roll limitation requirement. Fantasy Hero players should immediately recognize this skill. After attaining the 5th level, the Thaumaturge may increase her Magery talent with experience up to campaign limits.)

Lure of Flames: Each level of this path confers one Damage Class to the 1 pip RKA bought at first level. The 5th and final level of this path is thus:

1 1/2D6 RKA, Skill Roll (-1/2), Costs 2 Blood END to Activate (-1/2), Gestures (-1/4)

Active Cost: 12 .....Skill Roll: -1 .....END: 1 ........................... Total Cost: 5pts

(Note: This spell enwraps the caster's hands in flame and allows her to make melee attacks that cause aggravated damage. In a way, this is the Tremere's answer to the Gangrel's Feral Claws.)

Movement of the Mind: The first two levels of this path are ignored for this write-up since they would require TK to be represented at a negative value. Instead, level three is presented first (that's where the meat and potatoes are at!).

The Path of Conjuring: The spells in this path were created using a version of Summon that allows the caster to call forth only inanimate objects. Called (for lack of better) Summon Inanimate Object with a base cost of 15pts and 5 active points to build object per +1 points spent.

(Note: Another useful spell developed by the Tremere to counter the shadowmancers of clan Lasombra.)

Rituals: There are an endless variety of spells that can be created and used as rituals. However, rituals differ from other spells in that they often require many complicated elements and a lot of time to enact. Because of this the GM should fell free to pile as many limitations on a ritual as possible. When designing rituals, a good rule of thumb is to have at least -5 worth of limitations. Since rituals are viewed more as a skill in V:tM than a power, I charge 1pt for a 20 active point spell and +1pt for every additional 20pts active points present in the ritual (essentially, 1 point per ritual level). This is not meant to be a rough accounting of the ritual spells' cost, since in most cases a ritual will need to be much more powerful than the caster's purchase would indicate. It is the GM's privilege to decide how strictly to enforce this option.

Limitations common to rituals: Concentrate: 0DCV, Extra Time (5 minutes to 1 Week or more!), Extra END, Multiple Foci (considered fragile ), Gestures and incantations (throughout?), Limited Power (Only works when______), Skill Roll (Magic), and Side Effects.

Other Limitations could be Sacrifice 'X' amount of mortals or Kindred (-1/2 to -1) or Needs 'X' amount of other Thaumaturgists present to enact ritual. All must succeed Magic Skill Roll (-1 to -2).

Another option is the Focus based ritual. This is built using an Independent Focus whose power must be activated through a complex ritual. It is in essence a magic item. Since, likely, the Thaumturge did not create the focus, she will have to pay no points for using it (except maybe a 1 point Knowledge Skill with the specific item and its ritual).

Other Magics: If you have a copy of Fantasy Hero then you're in luck, as a rule of thumb I allow Thaumaturgists to purchase some spells from one or more of the spell colleges presented (although we call them Paths instead of Colleges). However, players may want to remove the Focus limitation from FH spells since Thaumaturgy is notoriously light on wands, staves or any other equipment that assists magic use. The restrictions of the new Talent Magery are rigidly enforced and spells learned are always pending GM approval. If you do not have Fantasy Hero, Horror Hero has a few useful spells and even some rituals you could use. If you have neither, you're going to have to make up your own, just use Thaumaturgy as a guide line on how to build spells. Remember that magic spells must always be built with -1 worth of limitations, no exceptions.

Also note that Necromancy can be learned as a Thaumaturgical Path of magic (with GM's permission) and it is entirely permissable to design independant spells that require one or more Disciplines as Prerequisites (see Hold the True Form and Part the Shaodws spells given above).

..Level 1: "Malleable Visage": Shapeshift to any humanoid form; Only change one feature per use (-1/2), 2 Blood Pool END to activate (-1/2), Concentrate: 1/2 DCV (-1/4)............. Total Cost: 9pts

............................................................................................... Total Cost: 16pts

(Note to Bone Craft: Yes, this power does allow its caster to form claws and body spikes from hers or anothers body. However, in order to keep such adornments, the recipient must pay for them with experience. Such weapons would be HKA's or No Range RKA's with Damage Shield applied in the case of body spikes. Increased PD/ED and/or limited Armor could also be appropriate in the case of bony plates of armor. To use this discipline as an offensive ability the caster may buy a 1D6 RKA (NoRange) with NND: Not vs. Power Defense, Does Body (+2) Linked to Bone Craft for 8pts.)

..Level 4: "Horrid Form": The vampire gains 2 levels of Growth at 0END (+1/2),

..Level 5: "Blood Form": 1D6 Major Transform; Cumulative (+1/2), Transform body parts into blood and back again (+1/4), Self Only (-1/2), Full Phase (-1/2), Prerequisite: 'Horrid Form' (-1/2) .....

Total Cost: 11pts

A few points about Disciplines:

* First: Mind Control is considered automatically telepathic. That is why I used the 'Telepathic (+0)' notation.

* Second: Keep in mind that humans have a vulnerability to Mental Powers (x1 1/2) worth no extra points. This means that 10D6 Dominate is worth 15D6 vs. any human.

* Third: Shape of the Beast (Protean) and Form of the Serpent (Serpentis) were built with a Self Only Transformation. This is not normally allowed by the rules, but the Multiform versions cost around 30-40pts after limitations and I needed to save points. All apologies.

* Fourth: Obtenebration levels 4 & 5 use a power called Darksight. This is taken from the Enhanced Sense power 'See in the Dark' introduced in Champions: New Millenium (page 131). It allows characters to see in total darkness as if it were daylight (even within Darkness Fields) and costs 10pts.
