The Dark Grimoire

Striga – 110
This is in the Dark Ages Companion and listed as an Infernal Discipline there. We have included it here
as a path of Dark Thaumaturgy in order to better reflect the changes that were used in the Revised
Edition.
1. Strix - Perform a Social Challenge against your target, if you are successful, you can hear
whatever your target says for the next 5 minutes as long as they are outside.
2. Scobax - Spend a variable number of Social traits and gain the following effects based on your
expenditure. One Trait, vermin gather and act normally (eating food etc); Two Traits the vermin
begin to swarm in the target area and attack anyone therein, which places them down two traits on
all challenges while defending themselves from the vermin; Three traits The vermin attack
everyone (including the infernalist if he is vissible) dealing two levels of bashing damage per
round within the target area. A target area may be of no greater size than a normal house or
apartment.
3. Masca - Drink the blood of an animal, and spend a blood trait you may take on the form of that
animal. You are still a vampire and thus your bite and claw attacks will do aggravated damage as
appropriate. You retain any Celerity, Fortitude or Potence you possess but lose access to all other
disciplines while in this form. The change takes three rounds, but may be sped up by spending
additional blood as with the Protean power “Form of the Beast”.
4. Hexe - Spend a blood trait and two physical traits (by spitting on your target and requiring a
Physical test retest athletics) if you succeed you deal two Aggravated Damage or give your target
two Negative traits of your choice (not to exceed five negative traits for a single adjective).
5. Fractura - Spend a variable number of Blood Traits limited by your actual generation. For each
Blood Trait spent grows one six foot long tentacle of Blood from your body. Each tentacle has six
Physical Traits and you may spend blood on a one for one basis to increase those traits. The
tentacles each hit for two lethal damage due to it’s slashing action and barbed nature. Each
tentacle has four health levels. The infernalist does not get the blood back when this power
expires at the end of the scene or if ended early. The tentacles receive the Infernalists Potence and
uses the infernalists retests.
