All vampires have a powerful constitution, and are able to shrug off the injury inflicted by guns and weapons of all sorts. However, most are very susceptible to sunlight and fire, and are easily harmed by them. Those with Fortitude are not easily bowed by even these elemental forces, and are even more resistant to "normal" ...

Though in former nights this power was practiced primarily by the Malkavians of the Sabbat, in recent years it has spread throughout the Clan. Some kindred speculate that this "infection" might be yet another move in the Jyhad; a few vampires, of particularly paranoid bent, even whisper that the Malkavians are to be the harbingers of the ...

Insects, intervertebrates and most fish [with the possible exception of larger ones like sharks] are just too simple, their Beasts too weak, to connect with. Feral Whispers provides no guarantees that an animal will want to deal with the vampire, nor does it ensure that the animal will pursue any requests the vampire makes of it. Still, it does at least make the creature better disposed toward the Kindred. ...

With Potence, though, this strength extends far beyond such measures. The inhuman might of Potence is sufficient to allow a vampire to break bones, shatter stone, and even heft and destroy heavy or resiliant objects. Vampires using Potence in battle are fearsome indeed, delivering telling blows that fell even their undead adversaries. Most uses of Potence above the Basic levels are considered ...

When angered, stressed, or consumed with need, a Cainite can use the power inherent in the blood to fuel her actions, moving with startling quickness. If attacked by surprise, the victim may use Celerity in the initial challenge- she must respond with her normal reflexes, and can only draw on her vampiric speed once she has reacted to the surprise. The Celerity Discipline is most common ...

Indeed, the Nosferatu antitribu seem to be on at least civil terms with their Camarilla counterparts, but this apparent cohesion may simply be due to the fact that they are beyond such things as petty allegiances and concentrate instead on the force that threatens their clan nightly. Of course, the Nosferatu ...

After the powderkeg of the Anarch Revolt and Tyler’s bold attack of Hardestadt the Elder came the Renaissance, and the Ventrue changed with the times. Driven by greed and power-lust, the Ventrue shifted tack. Rather than maintain their noble status, they pursued greater interests in the ...

With the organizational efforts of the Lasombra and Tzimisce, and a few Ventrue antitribu, the Toreador created much of the sect’s structure, as well as codifying many of the sect’s beliefs. Indeed, the early, anarchic nights of the sect may have seen its destruction, "if not for the ...

The Malkavian antitribu, then, are the Beast unrestrained. While Camarilla Malkavians may instruct or illustrate an idea using their madness, the antitribu seem more concerned with spreading madness, much like a disease. If a Malkavian is crazy like a fox, their antitribu are rabid foxes. The Malkavian antitribu wield their dementia like double-edged ...

The elders of the clan, after a passing interest in the challenge to other elders’ status quo, judged the anarchs to be in error. After much debate and posturing, the elders and loyal childer of Clan Brujah turned their backs on the "daft and dangerous" vampires who called themselves anarchs. As a result, the Brujah anarchs, who almost unanimously refused to bow to the Convention ...

Having grown apart from the Gypsy heritage of the mainstream Gangrel, the Sabbat Gangrel have returned to their bestial sides, becoming deadly hunters whose skill in the pursuit of prey is unmatched. The clan includes subtle slayers and savage berserkers alike, and the skill with which the Gangrel take on their foes lends a powerful strength to the sect.

Even other vampires grow uneasy around these eerie kindred, and the clan’s nickname of "Fiends" was given to it in nights past by horrified Kindred of other lines.

Simultaneously graceful and predatory, the Lasombra guide - and, when necessary, whip — the Sabbat into an implacable force. Turning their backs upon the humans they once were, Lasombra give themselves wholly over to the dark majesty of the Embrace.
