As soon as a mortal receives the Embrace, they receive access to the powers colloquially known as Disciplines. Developed from the temperaments of victims consumed and refined to devastating potential, Vampires bring these Blood-borne gifts to bear against foes and prey. Disciplines remind the Damned of their separation from mortals, as the Vitae in their veins allows them to subjugate others, demonstrate inhuman physical prowess, and perceive reality from the vantage of predators, looking down upon prey. Younger Kindred may only possess a few token powers, but even those minor gifts still provide an edge over the rank and file Kine . Ancillae wield Disciplines with enough might to crush their lessers, and the elders, horrifyingly arrayed with these nightmare weapons, become unassailable against all but the most-prepared attackers.
