FRIDAY JULY 2 Ventrue
Nickname: Lords Clan Disciplines: The Ventrue master Dominate, the Discipline of mental subjugation. Their strength is not diminished on beasts, as they exert themselves with the power of Animalism over lesser creatures. And as Lords must be fit enough to resist challengers, their undead bodies are gifted with Resilience. Weakness: Power corrupts, and among the Ventrue, even the thirst for power can corrode an ambitious Kindred's moral bearings. Over time, a Ventrue's mind becomes fragile. Therefore, Ventrue characters are more prone to gaining derangements when they suffer a loss of Humanity. Next Week: Powers of the Dead – Next week we take a look at some of the dread Disciplines the Kindred wield. |
Regal,
commanding and aristocratic, the Ventrue are the harsh lords of the
Danse Macabre. The Ventrue most often come from the closest the modern
world comes to feudal nobility: the ranks of professionals, the cream
of high society, the scions of old money or political dynasties.
As new professions and new forms of power arise, the Ventrue bring
them into the clan. Through whatever means necessary, the Ventrue
rise to the top of the undead heap.
