Blood Walk
A thaumaturge casts this ritual on a blood sample from another vampire. Blood Walk is used to trace the subject's Kindred lineage and the blood bonds in which the subject is involved.
System: This ritual requires three hours to cast, reduced by 15 minutes for each success on the roll. It requires one blood point from the subject. Each success allows the caster to "see back" one generation, giving the caster both the True Name of the ancestor and an image of his face. The caster also learns the generation and clan or bloodline from which the subject is descended. With three successes, the caster also learns the identities of all parties with whom the subject shares a blood bond, either as regnant or thrall.
Errata: Gray text has been altered or removed. Based on previous rulings. This ritual reveals the true name only of the subject, not the subject's Vampiric ancestors. The ritual reveals the image and common use name (if there is a question, the name known by the subject) of one previous generation per success. Successes do not reduce the casting time, since they allow additional information to be gained. Five successes will reveal the identities of any Kindred with whom the subject shares a vinculum.)
- True name of the subject
- Generation of the subject
- Clan or Bloodline of the subject
- partial blood blonds or Regnant/Thrall status
- Anyone who has a vinculum rating
- Details about the Clan of the Subject.
