Transformation

Thaumaturgy Paths

This path allows the Kindred to manipulate his or her own appearance through actual changes to the physical body. It is rumored that there are ways to use this path upon others, both Kindred and Kine, but it is no doubt a tightly-held secret.

All changes last for 1 scene unless a willpower is spent. Once willpower is spent affects are permanent although another use of the power can change a person back. Successes denote how fast a change happens.

Changes are done by visualizing the desired transformation and allowing your will and magic to make it so. This means all levels of the path require a representation of what you are desiring to end up at to roll at normal difficulty. if you do not have a reasonable representation, then the difficulty goes up, max of 2 if you are doing with imagination alone. Roll for all levels is a Wits + Occult, difficulty is for the level except where noted(including noted above).

Standard willpower roll is needed, the number successes will equal how many rounds it takes to finish. 6 successes will finish instantly, 5 successes take 1 round, 4 successes 2 rounds..etc

Level 1: Sculpters Brush- The Magus can alter his own skin and hair color. Facial features, hair length and style can be altered at this level.

Level 2: Sculpters Hand - Appearance can be raised or lowered to a maximum of 5 and a minimum of 0. Skin texture can be altered. Scars, the effects of Skin Diseases and similar problems can be added or removed. Baldness can be cured. Permanent change in Appearance is at difficulty 9.

Level 3: Shaping the Phemeral Clay - Bone alteration is now possible. Height can also be modified; the Magus can shift bone tissue into other areas and alter height or width by as much as two feet in any direction. Note that mass remains constant; a thin, 100 pound Kindred who made himself/herself look like a professional bodybuilder would still only weigh 100 pounds.

Level 4: Design Self - Allows alteration of internal organs and surrounding flesh. Can provide a full sex change, removal of the effects of diseases, cancers, etc. Alternately, they can be induced as part of a disguise. Tissue can be converted to or from fat.

Level 5: Design Others - Magus can use all powers of the path on someone else. Person must be willing and be touched. (although anyone who is asleep counts as willing) The Magus can at this level change themselves to a number of templates equal to their Occult rating. Templates are fully detailed body's the Magus can change into with no Wit's roll and no representation. Standard willpower still denotes speed of transformation.
