Discipline is a term used by vampires to describe their supernatural powers.
The origin of the vampiric powers modernly known as Disciplines is unknown, however, but many believe they are gifts from Caine or Lilith, and a few Antediluvians are thought to have invented unique Disciplines that have been passed down through their childer. Others believe them to be inborn powers inherent to the undead body.
Aside from their inherent immortal condition, the ability to use vitae to regenerate wounds through Blood Heal, and improve their overall physical abilities through Blood Power, proficiency in a Discipline gives the vampire additional supernatural abilities of great strategic value.
While all Clans start with an array of Clan Disciplines, many Vampires eventually seek to broaden their abilities by being Taught New Disciplines.
Non-Clan Exclusive Disciplines can be Taught to one another, requiring 5 dots in the Discipline by the mentor and costing both Vampires 10 Experience.
