Learning Disciplines & Devotions

Disciplines

In Clan Disciplines

In-Clan Disciplines (including Bloodline) require no teacher.

Common Disciplines

Out-of-Clan (-not- including Clan 'signature') Disciplines can be 'activated' by a character without a teacher. Each month, the player may roll Blood Potency; once they attain successes equal to twice the total 'dot' level of the Discipline being activated, they may develop/purchase it. The player MUST have the XP required to purchase it before they can begin rolling, and it remains 'in escrow' until the Discipline development is completed. Having a teacher skips this requirement.

Clan 'Signature' Disciplines

Learning a Clan's signature Discipline always requires a character teacher. These are Auspex, Dominate, Majesty, Nightmare, and Protean. The teacher must belong to the respective Clan.

• They cannot be taken at creation and "back-storied".
• They cannot be taught by a Vampire who gained the Discipline through their Bloodline.

Bloodline Disciplines

Bloodline Specific Disciplines cannot be taught to non-bloodline members unless the text specifically states otherwise.

Devotions

Devotions may be developed by a character without a teacher. Each month, the player may roll Int+Occult*; once they attain successes equal to twice the total 'dot' requirement of the Devotion, they may develop/purchase it. The player MUST have the XP required to purchase it before they can begin rolling, and it remains 'in escrow' until the Devotion is completed. Having a teacher skips this requirement.

• Gangrel Clan Weakness does not apply.
