FAVORED ATTRIBUTES
The Embrace forces drastic changes upon the human body, altering its aspects to that of a
vampiric predator. While all vampires possess the same vulnerability to fi re and the need to
consume blood, their bodies adapt more subtly based on the blood of their sires. Each clan
has adjusted somewhat differently to the rigors of the Embrace, choosing a divergent path of
development toward becoming a more successful predator breed. These adaptations are carried
through the blood of the clan, altering the natural abilities of newly Embraced childer.
Each clan has a pair of favored Attributes, enjoying a more acute development of certain
natural aspects of the body. Once a clan is chosen, choose one Attribute from a clan’s favored
pair and add one dot to it.

DISCIPLINES
When vampires are Embraced, their sires teach them certain blood-based mystical powers
known as Disciplines. Disciplines are those mysterious and often terrifying capabilities that
the Kindred can manifest at will. Taking the shape of an animal, running at superhuman
speeds or bending a victim’s will to one’s own are examples of Disciplines in use.
Each character begins with three dots of Disciplines, which can be allocated as the player
chooses. At least two dots must be devoted to a character’s clan Disciplines, however, before
any thought is given to an out-of-clan or bloodline Discipline. (That is, you may choose to
spend two dots on clan Disciplines and a single dot on an out-of-clan or bloodline Discipline,
but not two dots on out-of-clan or bloodline Disciplines and only one on a clan Discipline.)
Each clan description that appears later in this chapter lists the Disciplines practiced by that
lineage, along with some of the more prevalent bloodline variations.
BLOOD POTENCY
A character’s Blood Potency represents how much innate, mystical power has concentrated
within her dead veins. Characters with high Blood Potency possess both great mastery over
their Vitae and much inherent potential in that Vitae. Characters with low Blood Potency are
either unpracticed or their Blood is so young or inert as to have little connate potential.
