Mimicry

Description

The vampire may mimic any vampiric discipline that he visually notices. The vampire may not mimic anything that is not a vampiric discipline. The vampire mimics the disciplines at one level lower than the original vampire had it, to a minimum of level one. For example, if he sees a vampire who has Mortis of level two, he could mimic it at level one. The vampire cannot mimic any discipline at a level higher than his generation allows him. He also cannot mimic any disciplines he currently knows.

System: The vampire must spend one bloodpoint to use Mimicry and he can mimic a discipline as long as he concentrates on it or until sunrise, whichever comes first. Once the duration expires, he forgets all knowledge of the discipline.

For each dot the vampire has in this discipline he can mimic one discipline. So, if a vampire has three dots in Mimicry, he can mimic three disciplines at once. A vampire with Mimicry of level three may actually learn a new discipline. By spending 3 blood points and 5 experience points the vampire may put one dot in the discipline. You may not increase any disciplines this way, however.
