Disruption

By Whorrak@aol.com for the Dralien bloodline

Description

Disruption is not like other disciplines. For each level gained, the Dralien may choose one power that is of his current level +3. For example, a Dralien with level 3 Disruption may, for level 1, choose a power equal to or below 4; for level 2 choose a power equal to or below level 5; for level 3 choose a power equal to or below level 6.

Disruption does not follow the generation limit for stats:

Generation	Level Limit	Power Limit
13th	3	6
12th	4	7
11th	5	8
10th	7	10
9th	8	11
8th	9	12
7th	11	14
6th	15	18
5th	22	25

It costs the current level x 1.5 {round up} experience points to gain a level.

1 Blood Burst

This power allows the caster to rip open the jugular vein of his target with a mere thought.

System: Roll Manipulation + Occult (Difficulty = target's Stamina +2). For each success, the target forcefully spurts 1 blood point from his throat.

2 Mana Disruption

This power causes the target to suffer bone and tissue damage, as if it had fallen a great distance.

System: Roll Manipulation + Occult (Difficulty = target's Stamina +3). The caster spends a blood point and for each success, the target receives 1 point of damage (soakable with Fortitude only). With every two successes, one specific area is injured.

3 Forget

This power causes the target to 'forget' how to use his disciplines.

System: Roll Manipulation + Empathy (Difficulty 7). For each success, the target 'forgets' for 1 turn. This can be resisted by a Willpower roll (difficulty 8).

4 Phase

This power allows the caster to cause an object to 'fade' from existence, allowing the caster to passthrough it briefly. This allows passage through most doors, access to closed containers, etc.

System: Roll Manipulation + Science (Difficulty dependent upon target (ST discretion)). Every success allows three seconds of phasing.

5 Break Limb

This power allows the caster to break the limbs of his target with a mere thought.

System: Roll Manipulation + Occult (difficulty 6). The caster spends a blood point and 3 successes are needed for the bone to break. Every success allows 1 damage

6 Mind Jolt

This power causes the target's brain to be jolted by a minor electrical shock.

System: Roll Manipulation + Empathy (difficulty 6). Every success causes the target to be stunned for 3 seconds.

7 Eye Spy

Perhaps the oddest power of this discipline, this power causes one of the caster's eyes to grow tiny bat-like wings and is able to fly. The caster has complete control over the eye and is able to see through it. The power lasts for 5 minutes. If the eye is not back in the caster's head before the time expires, the caster looses the eye, (regenerable with blood) and takes 4 levels of aggravated damage.

This eye is an illusion, and therefore cannot be attacked, targeted by spells, etc.

System: Roll Stamina + Occult (difficulty 8). The caster spends 2 blood points. Each success after the fifth success adds one minute to the time that the eye can exist outside the caster's body.

8 Pain Infliction

This power causes the target to temporarily lose 2 levels of health (unsoakable). This damage is healed when the duration of the spell is up.

System: Roll Manipulation + Occult (difficulty is the target's Stamina + 3) This power is not cumulative.

9 Quake

This power allows the caster to summon forth a minor quake in his location. This effect is an illusion; the disruption is not in the ground, but in the minds of everyone in the immediate area. No structural damage results from this spell. Everyone effected, however, falls to the ground, stunned for 3 seconds.

System: Roll Manipulation + Occult (difficulty 7)

Successes	Area of Effect (feet)
1	10
2	30
3	50
4	70
5	100

10 Energy Maelstrom

The caster summons dark energy to swirl around him, creating a storm which will blast through everyone and everything in the room. Bolts of lightning strike everyone in the room. The lightning does 4 dice of damage (difficulty 6 + victim's Athletics)

System: The Caster spends 4 blood points. Roll Manipulation + Hearth Wisdom (difficulty 8)

Successes	Number of bolts
1	1
2	2
3	3
4	5
5	7

11 Limb Disruption

A more potent form of Break Limb, this spell will cause one of the target's limbs to explode, and fall to the ground, doing 3 dice of damage (difficulty 6).

System: Roll Manipulation + Occult (difficulty 7). The caster spends a blood point. Target may resist with a Stamina roll (difficulty 9)

12 Throes Of Pain

This works the same as Pain Infliction (8), but the health loss is not temporary.

13 Nightmare

Each person and creature has its own specific worst nightmare, which the caster is able to summon forth. For most characters, a certain creature or person will shimmer into view and begin to battle the character. Just as one cannot battle their nightmares, one cannot battle this spell. It will seem to them that every second they are about to die in some hideous manner.

System: Roll Manipulation + Empathy (difficulty target's Willpower)

	Successes	Duration
	1	10 seconds
	2	30 seconds
	3	1 minute
	4	2 minutes
	5	Until the next evening*

^*The target must roll Willpower (diff: 7) or falls unconscious for 30 minutes.

14 Life Burst

Each living thing has a life force. This spell attacks the life force of the target, using it against him to tear at his body. This spell will not only drain the target of blood, but do health damage as well.

Note: The undead are immune to this spell.

System: The caster spends a blood point, and rolls Stamina + Empathy (difficulty 8). Each success removes 2 blood points form the target, and does 1 level of damage to it.

15 Curse

Upon reaching this level of Disruption, the caster is awarded with a specific curse that he can employ upon his enemies. The form of curse he is granted use of will never change. It is at the ST's discretion as to what the curse is. Do not tell the player until he uses the ability, even then, show it through actions, rather than blurt it out.

System: Spends blood point, and roll Manipulation + Occult (difficulty is the target's Willpower). The Number of success determines the length of the curse (ST Discretion).

16 Disease

This spell inflicts a very debilitating disease upon the target. Just how bad depends on the number of successes (ST discretion). The disease will cause 1 damage for every 2 successes the player rolls. It does so immediately, and then every evening when the target rises, lessening by 1 damage per night.

System: The character spends 3 blood points, and spits a blood point upon the target, then rolls Manipulation + Medicine (difficulty 9). The difficulty is lowered by 1 for every two points of

Occult the caster has, and lowered by 1 for every points of Plague-bearing the caster has.

17 Evil Eye

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. Certainly the target of this spell will believe so, as the caster summons pure fear in the victim's soul. The target will freeze, run in terror, and fall to the ground shaking.

System: The caster spends 2 blood, and rolls Manipulation + Intimidation (difficulty target's Willpower).

Successes	Effect
1-2	Target freezes in fear and is stunned for 10 seconds.
3-4	Target falls to the ground, stunned for 20 seconds.
5+	The target flees in terror, running as far as possible until a Self-control/Instinct roll (Difficulty 6) roll is made.

18 Torment

This spell will last for as long as the caster maintains concentration. Each turn (3 seconds) that it is maintained, the target suffers health damage.

System: The caster spends 4 blood points, and rolls Manipulation + Empathy (difficulty 7) Only one success is needed to do a health level of damage to the target, and carry on the spell. The target may resist by rolling Wits (difficulty 8), and attaining more successes than the caster. Should the caster be distracted, he loses the spell and cannot attempt it again on this target for one night.

19 Dark Catalyst

Targets of this spell have their very force of will torn from them and converted to raw energy, which will damage them in the form of heat, cold, and/or electricity.

System: Roll Manipulation + Perception (difficulty 9). For each success, the caster does 1 health level of damage to the target, the target loses one point of temporary Willpower, and the caster replenishes his Willpower by 1. Every success in addition to 5 that the caster rolls, the target loses a point of permanent willpower.

20 Implosion

This spell will destroy all the air around the caster's vicinity, subjecting them to vacuum injuries. As the air rushes back into the area a second later, all in the area, excluding the caster, are not only subject to the rushing air, but of the fly debris from the area, potentially striking them, and doing damage.

Note: The caster is unaffected by this spell.

System: Roll Intelligence + Occult (difficulty 9).

Successes	Effect
1	Everyone in the area is knocked over by the vacuum, doing 2 dice of damage. Everyone then rolls Alertness (difficulty 6) or is hit by debris, which do 3 dice of damage.
2	Same as 1 success, but the damage rolls are increased by 1 dice.
3	Same as 1 successes, but no alertness roll may be made.
4	Same as 3 successes, but all damage rolls are increased by 1 dice.
5+	Same as 4 Successes, but everyone in the room must make a Wits + Athletics roll (difficulty 7) or be sucked into the vacuum, and thereafter dealt with by the ST (The ST is encouraged to have fun with as to where this vacuum goes.)

21-24

Upon reaching levels 21 - 24, the Dralien is taught the name of one specific demon, and its powers, capabilities, etc. For each of these levels. This information must be true and useable later on for spell 25. These 4 levels may not be skipped. One must take all 4 of these levels to reach level 25.

25 Demonic Summoning

This spell will allow the caster to summon specific, unique demons to do his bidding.

Note: These demons need not be ones learned through powers 21-24. They may be other demons that the character knows quite a bit about, and is comfortable summoning. ST discretion, of course.

System: The caster must draw a ritual circle around the area he wishes to do the casting from, through a combination of blood (7 points of the caster's) and chalks. This ritual takes one hour to perform, and requires an Occult roll (difficulty 7) to be successful. Do not tell the player if the circle casting was effective or not, until he utilizes it. Then, surprise him.

The actual summoning must be done from within the circle, and requires that another 5 blood points be spent and dripped about the inside of the circle. A Charisma + Occult roll is made (difficulty 10).

Should the caster succeed, he must make a sacrifice of 10 untainted souls to the infernal one, and then may request that one very specific job be completed. The demon goes immediately out in quest, and does not stop until either the quest is completed, or 7 days have passed, resting only during the daytime hours. On the dawn of the seventh day, the demon vanishes, returning to its fiery abode.
