  • -- Cephalomancy: A divination used to gain information from the head of a corpse. (Origin: 1st Iteration - I came up with it after reading about the ancient Greeks and Egyptians performing this miracle.- BZ)(Brian:ST)
  • -- Ceremonial Circle: A ritual abjuration meant to prevent catastrophic failure when working necromancy. Origin: I originally gained the necromantic ritual - Circle of Cerebus, a level one Giovanni rite after attacking and killing a household of Australian Giovanni in Sidney - circa 2037 - 1st Iteration. But, after playing with it for a while, Jamie and I deemed it too powerful and I researched this variant which is very basic.{BZ} (Brian:ST)

Proposed Discipline Combinations

This discipline combination eliminates the penalty from (skin of the chameleon) for moving faster than walking speed.

System: the vampire activates skin of the chameleon as normal and another blood point to activate this ability. When active, the movement penalty is negated for a scene, however, when the vampire moves at greater than walking speed, observers may make a perception + alertness role, difficulty = to 10 - the number of actions the cloaked vampire takes in the round. This perception role may only be made if there observer takes a full round! If successful, the observer sees the outlined form of the cloaked vampire but gains no further information about that individual unless he/she successfully sees past the hidden figure's dex + stealth.
