Disciplines are one of the most beneficial gifts the Embrace has to offer. Unlike immortality, their uses are almost instantly perceivable, with even the youngest of fledglings given abilities to overpower most mortals. With time, Kindred are able to hone these powers into producing nearly unimaginable supernatural feats.

As with most other Traits, Disciplines all have dot ratings. A single dot implies that the character has only just started exploring a Discipline, but has barely scratched the surface. However ratings of six dots or more shows true mastery of the Discipline, with such comprehension beyond the ability of most neonates and ancillae. Discipline dots, like other Traits, are also restricted by your character’s Generation Maximum.

Like all Traits, characters must work towards advancing their understanding of their Disciplines throughout scenes.

• In-Clan Disciplines (including a Discipline bought with the Additional Discipline Merit) can be learned with time and effort on the character’s own, even if they do not already possess the first dot.
  • This applies to the initial three Disciplines Caitiff started with.
  • Blood Sorcery such as Thaumaturgy have an exception, read below.
• Physical Disciplines (Celerity, Fortitude, Potence) can be learned without vitae or a mentor in the same way as In-Clan Disciplines.
  • Characters who possess Flight are able to develop it independent of a mentor, though the first dot must be specially acquired (Gargoyle bloodline, lootboxes).
• All other Disciplines will require the character to consume a point of blood from a vampire who already knows the discipline. They must then be taught by someone who has the Discipline at the rating they want to learn.
  • Mechanically, the vitae is only required once. This exchange must take place on screen as opposed to their biography.
  • The character’s tutor doesn’t need to be the one supplying the vitae.
• Blood Sorcery can only be advanced with a source material, regardless if the Discipline is In-Clan.
  • Source material can be written text, such as in the case of the Chantry library, or a mentor.
