Mind's Eye Theatre - Vampire The Requiem.pdf - RoseRed

a Ventrue ghoul gains a single dot of Resilience, while the ghoul of a Daeva obtains either
Celerity or Vigor as decided by his master.
Ghouls may use Disciplines, if they have them. A ghoul may learn Disciplines by spending
experience points, which costs twice as much as it does for a vampire (10 times the new level
in experience points for a clan or bloodline Discipline, 14 times the new level in experience
points for an out-of-clan or -bloodline Discipline). In most cases, a ghoul must have a teacher to
learn a Discipline or advance in level, with the exception of physical Disciplines. As long as the
ghoul knows the fi rst level of one of the physical Disciplines, he may learn other levels without
a teacher (although he must be taught the fi rst level). A ghoul may learn a unique bloodline
Discipline if his master hails from the bloodline in question, though this is very rare.
A ghoul may expend Vitae to augment physical Attributes, just like a vampire (see p. 219).
A ghoul may also use Vitae to heal wounds, again like a vampire. If a ghoul doesn’t use Vitae
to heal wounds, he recovers in the same amount of time that a mortal does, as described on
p. 240 of the Mind’s Eye Theatre rulebook.
Ghouls do not use Humanity to measure their morality. Instead, they use Morality as
described on pp. 101-107 of the Mind’s Eye Theatre rules.
Ghouls may spend one Vitae per turn. They have no Blood Potency.
Embraced ghouls keep all of the Disciplines they learned as ghouls when they make the
transition to the ranks of the Kindred; however, any Disciplines dots they already have count
against the three dots they receive during the Embrace. (Thus ghouls with three or more dots
of Disciplines receive no Discipline dots from the Embrace). Vinculums and blood addictions
the character has survive into undeath as well.
ANIMAL GHOULS
Animals may be made into ghouls, but no animal is intelligent or aware enough to fully
know what changes Vitae imposes upon its body. Animal ghouls suffer all of the detriments
of being a ghoul (such as blood addiction, Vinculums, dependency on Vitae for survival) but
gain few of the benefi ts. Ghouls animals may learn only Celerity, Vigor and Resilience by way
of Disciplines. Further, they can use Vitae only to fuel these powers. They may not use Vitae
to heal themselves or augment Physical Attributes. An animal ghoul may never spend its own
Willpower during its sustenance feedings. It relies on the vampiric master to do so. Indeed,
ghoul animals are relatively rare, and most Kindred with animal companions merely subject
them to Vinculums to ensure loyalty rather than to make ghouls of them.
THE BLOOD AND OTHER SUPERNATURAL CREATURES
Kindred Vitae, while potent, does have its limits. When the other supernatural
creatures with whom the Damned occasionally cross paths come into play, certain
realities of the World of Darkness supersede the mystic strength of the Blood.
Werewolves, mages and other supernatural beings are immune to the Embrace.
If a vampire is somehow able to extract all the blood from a werewolf or mage and
attempt the Embrace, that Embrace fails automatically. Likewise with Vinculums and
attempts at creating ghouls — they simply do not work with regard to Lupines and
mages. Other supernatural creatures are subject to blood addiction, however, the
absence of other supernatural effects notwithstanding.
Naturally, this physiological situation doesn’t deter rumors of such things from
spreading. Savvy Kindred who hear of such things, however, wisely dismiss them
as the efforts of inexperienced vampires trying to codify something they don’t
understand.
