Vicissitude 6

This power is a major step toward making a Vozhd, the living conglomerate war machines of the Tzimisce Viovodes. It can survive long enough to do its master's bidding, but rarely any longer. Advanced applications of Koldunism can extend the monster's lifetime, and create a true life.

The flesh-crafter can graft the remains of the dead to a living creature, creating a hideous guardian. The vampire may use as many dead subjects in a creation as she deems necessary, but at least one subject must still breathe.

The final monstrosity possesses the fractured intellect of the living beast, but has claws, wings, eyes and teeth of whatever the vampire has spliced together. The process often drives the living host insane. Furthermore, the victim endures the decay of its body parts. The poor creature eventually dies from disease or shock.

System: The vampire can create anything she desires, of any mass, size or function, provided she has enough parts. The player rolls Intelligence + Body Crafts (difficulty 7). Depending on the quantity and quality of "raw material" available, the Tzimisce may create anything from a simple ghoul to a rampaging vozhd. The number of successes determines how successful the process is and how long the creation "lives."
