Once a character is Embraced, their new vampiric blood automatically grants a set of powers that are standard to all vampires. Instead of going into detail about all the powers in VtM, letвЂ™s focus on the powers we have seen, and may yet expect to see, from the characters in LA By Night. In true RPG fashion, a wide variety of powers are available for players to choose from to flesh out their vampires as they see fit. For the sake of viewers who are unfamiliar with the World of Darkness setting, or who are looking for whatвЂ™s new in VtMвЂ™s fifth edition, letвЂ™s sink our teeth into what some of those powers are.ДЄlthough VtM draws much of itsвЂ™ inspiration from our long history of vampire tales, VtM is a tabletop RPG at itsвЂ™ warm, blood-pumping heart. Like and unlike the vampires weвЂ™re familiar with from folklore and horror movies, VtM vampires have supernatural mental and physical powers granted to them once they are Embraced. By Night, we get to watch a coterie of players roleplaying as vampires using the fifth edition rules of Vampire: The Masquerade RPG. Your character has to spend time focusing on unlocking his blood's potential after all.Дisciplines at 5 or more can only be unlocked by STs through outstanding accomplishments in open play and as a reward as part of a ST run storyline.On our new Vampire: The Masquerade RPG show, L.A. This waiting period also extends to self-teaching physical Disciplines. So based on the chart above if your character just bought a dot in a Discipline and he wants to spend Experience on another Discipline at level 4, he has to wait 2 months from the last time he bought his last dot in a Discipline.

Therefore they cannot be learned in this fashion they must be taught by a Mentor, PC teacher, or as a reward in a ST run storyline.ДЄfter tapping a Mentor, studying/practicing an in-clan Discipline, or tapping a player character source of knowledge, there will be a waiting period before you will be allowed to expend another dot in Disciplines based on level.

Note that Disciplines like Thaumaturgy and Necromancy are considered courses of study rather than inherent in the Blood.

In-clan Disciplines are naturally within the player character's blood and can be bought with experience with no other role-playing or teaching involved.

However, subsequent levels of an already known Out-of-Clan Discipline requires no additional drinking of vitae, but still requires instruction (rolling the systems above).ДЇinally, it is worth mentioning that by teaching or being taught a Discipline, a Prestation debt should be noted. Learning a brand new Discipline from either a Mentor or another Player Character will require that the student drink the teacher's vitae and form a first stage Blood Bond. On a botch, the attempt to teach fails utterly and the student may not learn that Discipline from that teacher at all. If the student and teacher resume on another night (while the blood is still active in the student), then the attempts to teach once more resume at the original Difficulty. If it is resumed directly afterwards, then it is at +1 Difficulty. If during the extended action, no successes are gained (a failure), the attempt fails and must be resumed before the blood has faded from the system of the student (See: Blood Bond). Once the accumulated successes are scored, the Discipline is learned. A Willpower roll (Current Willpower) will be required to learn by this method at Difficulty 8 with the number of successes required to be the level of the Discipline + 5. In addition, the appropriate amount of Experience must be spent to buy the dot in the Discipline. In the case of having a player character teacher, both you and the teacher must role-play the mentoring to learn and teach a new Discipline. On a success the Kindred learns the new Discipline or adds a level to one he already possesses. ItвЂ™s a straight forward roll from there of Intelligence + Mentor Diff 6. If the player character is not from the Clan that possesses that clan-specific Discipline, the Mentor will not have access to it either. The only exception is clan-specific Disciplines like Protean and Thaumaturgy. In the case of having taken the Mentor Background, the Mentor can teach any Camarilla Discipline up to the player characterвЂ™s Mentor Rating. Learning new Out-of-Clan Disciplines requires a PC teacher or the Mentor Background.
