Hell Gate

Description

The thaumaturgical path of Hell Gate is used almost exclusively by the Baali vampire clan. They have jealously kept its knowledge secret over the years and it is one of the reasons the clan was hunted down and destroyed. Hell Gate deals with the summoning of various demons and devils to help aid the summoner. Most demons and devils will often require some sort of sacrifice to be summoned up from the sub-planes to ours.

* Banishment

Allows the summoner to banish the demon back to the sub-plane. Manipulation + Occult vs its Willpower needing 4 successes.

** Binding

Allows the caster to bond a lesser demon or devil to his bidding. Manipulation + Leadership vs its Willpower, with each success equalling one task.

*** Lesser Summoning

Allows the caster to summon one lesser demon or devil from the sub-planes. This is a Perception + Occult at 7s with 4 successes needed.

**** Dominance

This allows the caster to try and command the greater demons and devils. Done the same as The Binding. Summoner gets one task per two successes.

***** Hell Gate

This final power allows the caster to try and summon one of the greater demons or devils. 5 successes are needed on a Perception + Occult roll at 7. If the caster wishes to enter the gate to the sub-planes, he is required to roll Courage at 9, needed two successes.
