Here is the discipline errata for this game. We have attempted to make rulings that will be consistent throughout game. If at some point we must change the mechanics of a discipline, we will let all players know. No discipline mechanics will be changed mid-combat.
Animalism
Animalism 3 - As per the TT Dark Ages rules, Cainites are largely unaffected by this level. The one exception to this is that it can be used bring vampires out of frenzy.
Animalism 5 - You cannot lose your beast forever. If the individual carrying your beast dies it automatically returns to you. Cainites cannot be targeted with this power.
Auspex
Auspex 2 - we are using an expanded list of Auras which are not wholly consistent with the corebook aura colors. Please read the post below for information on Aura Percetion.
Celerity
Dark ages celerity rules are different than modern nights celerity rules. One blood must be spent for each extra action you take in a round using celerity. However, cainites can spend more blood per round on celerity than their generation normally allows. A 10th gen Toreador can still spend 5 blood with celerity 5 to take 5 actions. You may take fewer actions than the maximum number that your level of celerity allows, though without the appropriate elder discipline, the amount of actions you take must be declared at the beginning of the round.
Chimerstry
Chimerstry 5 - This can be used to do an illusory staking of a vampire, however five successes must be made in order for the illusion to be sucessful.
Dementation
Dementation 4 - we are using the Modern Nights version of Demenation 4. This uses a Manipulation + Empathy roll (diff 7) to send others into rage frenzy or rotschreck, ST discretion. You must also make a frenzy test, but at one difficulty lower than your targets.
Dominate
Botches leave the target immune for a month. You do not know if you botched your dominate attempt.
Fortitude - none
Mortis: Grave's Decay - none
Mortis: Corpse in the Monster - none
Mortis: Cadaverous Animation
Cadaverous Animation 2- Last one scene/one hour per success
Cadaverous Animation 5- One roll for the entire group not per servant
Obfuscate
Obfuscate 3 - Mask of 1000 faces disguises your visual appearance and sometimes your voice. It can also be used to mask smell, though scent related flaws and other very strong smells cannot be masked. Your character's shape does not change, so what your character feels like when touched is not masked.
Obfuscate 4 - +2 penalty last for an hour or for the scene
Obtenebration
Obtenebration 3 - The dice pool to activate this power is Manipulation + Occult, as used in the modern nights corebook.
Obtenebration 4 - Dark Ages level four is different from modern nights and we are running the dark ages version. The character rolls Wits + Occult (diff 7) to create Nightshades, illusions crafted from shadow. Successes determine the amount of shadow creatures or the size of a shadow creature. A Perception + Alertness roll (diff 9) can identify these creatures as not real. Those without Obtenebration within the area furthermore suffer a -3 penalty to initiative and a -2 penalty to all rolls.
Potence - None
Presence
Presence 2 - A botch makes the character immune to any uses of presence by the caster for the next month.
Presence 3 - We are using modern nights rules in that entrancement uses a dice pool of Appearance + Empathy.
Presence 4 - Summon difficulty is the character's WP. Difficulty modifications apply as normal, and house WP rules similarly apply.
Protean - none
Serpentis
Serpentis 1 - Being noticeably attacked automatically breaks the effect
Serpentis 5 - Like in modern nights, this Discipline can be used to remove the heart of another individual.
Vicissitude
Like in modern nights, Any vicissitude changes may be healed like aggravated wounds by those who are lower or equal generation as the Vicissitude user.
