Clan Tremere
Wizards, Warlocks and Sorcerers
Formerly the Clan most occupied by the mages and occultists of the Kindred. They now have increased in variety for some unknown reason. Where there was once only the secluded academics of the mystic arts. There now can be found a variety, such as surly tech-mages, brooding demon fighters, and road scholars. However, they are still a mystery to most even as the Kindred bind themselves closer together in the time of the Eclipse. They still serve to protect the Kindred from the mystical threats that would devastate even the strongest Kindred. However, the Clan keeps as many secrets as it did in years past. But some have spoken of far less Ghouls attending the Tremere than have been in times past. What has caused this? Only the Tremere know, and they are not telling anyone. But some have become more rebellious in recent years so this may present the chance to learn more if you dare to ask.
Clan Disciplines:
Thaumaturgy (The signature magic and rituals of Clan Tremere)
Auspex (The supernatural enhancement of perception and the senses)
Dominate (The supernatural ability to enforce the desires of the Kindred over the mind and desires of another, forcing them to do as the Kindred wishes).
Clan Flaw: Something has Happened
All members of Clan Tremere have felt an effect recently where the bond members held to the Clan has been shattered. However, this effect has taken some of the potency of Tremere blood with it. Mechanically this means that Tremere are easier to blood bond, with every single point of vitae consumed creating two steps of the blood bond. Therefore, making a Tremere fully blood bound in two drinks. In addition, they themselves find it harder to bond individuals with 2 blood points being required per step of blood binding.
Clan Advantage: Masters of True Magic.
An event long ago bound the practice of magic to the “spark of life” and only Clan Tremere has ever found an effect to replicate this. Therefore, whilst most Clans may be able to understand the most basic parts of ritual practice. The Tremere are still connected to the true spark of the occult that fuels their sorcerous power. Mechanically, this gives them access to the rituals detailed in the Thaumaturgy Guide which only members of Clan Tremere may select from. Furthermore, if they find a ritual that they wish to learn from another Clan, they may do so freely. However, a member of another Clan may not learn a ritual from the Thaumaturgy Guide under any circumstances and those attempting to learn will find that they simply cannot fathom the simplest of Tremere rituals.
