THURSDAY, AUGUST 5 The Coils of Transcendence – While the curse of vampirism grants supernatural powers and certain weaknesses, the Ordo Dracul seeks to overcome them. By use of a number of rites and observances collectively known as Coils of the Dragon, the Ordo Dracul seeks to strip away the limitations of undeath until its members achieve purity. Just as Theban Sorcery and Crúac have certain prerequisites, learning the Coils of the Dragon requires potential disciples to have at least one dot in the Covenant Status (Ordo Dracul) Merit. Once a character has learned a tier of the Coils of the Dragon, no other expenditure is needed, and the character can turn the tier's power on or off at any time. Surmounting the Daysleep (Coil of Banes, Second Tier) – The Dragon can shrug off the heavy slumber that falls on Kindred during the daytime. The player spends a point of Willpower, and the character can remain awake all day. The Dragon must still avoid sunlight. Ol' Vlad Would Be Proud – Artist Cathy Wilkins shows us that membership in the Ordo Dracul has a certain fetching quality to it. That and the bats are way moody.
