Approved/Banned Alchemy

For counterfeit Discipline information refer here.

Corebook

Approved: All.

Changed:

Profane Hieros Gamos

We use the 2019 errata present in modern prints of the Corebook. The power was entirely rewritten, and re-categorized as level 3.

What the power can do: Kindred may change their physical form either in height, weight, skintone, hair color, eye color, face and body shape and gender. With a Critical, they may remove a physical flaw, such as paralysis or permanently damaged limbs up to flaws like repulsive (Unless they are Nosferatu) or ugly. They can also gain look advantages with no limit via a Crit and spending the appropriate amount of exp.

What this power cannot do: They can move their organs internally; they cannot do anything that’s not going to appear 100% humanlike, from outward physical appearance to internal morphology. This will not heal the conditions characters are born with. They cannot regrow what was lost before embrace.

In addition, these vampires will make the final Stamina + Alchemy test at double the difficulty, and if failed will take double the aggravated damage. Full vampires and Thinbloods with the Bestial Temper flaw must roll a frenzy test once per hour in the Sun at diff 4 while using this power. Please also refer to daywalking rules.

Or it can be obtained occasionally through a 3-dot corrupt contact in the government. Inspiration examples would be Truth of Blood Ritual or Entrancement/Dread Gaze.

Players Guide

Approved: Mercurian Tongue, Plug-in, Mandagloire, Tank

• Friends List: Requires an ask and full consent/communication between parties.
• Rumor: If players want to determine it’s happening, then they roll Wits + Insight/Awareness against the number of successes the alchemist had except in off-the-wall cases where something is very clearly wrong.
• Short Circuit: Plug-in is a Pre-req
• Toxic Personality: Holds for 7 real-time days for Athanor.
• Flowering Amaranth: Yes, the victim dies. If they fail, Thin-bloods lose Humanity as per Diablerie rules and can lose their own body/bodies.
• Moment of Clarity: Changing the ingredient of meaningful text to be one of the Alchemist’s formulae notes. This means they will need to redo the research to be able to complete the alchemy again, although the approach doesn’t need to change; it cannot be done on the same night as the destruction. The formulae will be selected by ST at random or thematically, you may make a suggestion but shouldn’t be something they never use. There is no bonus on 6+ Distillations rolls.
