Disciplines

Discipline is the term for a general Kindred power fueled by vitae. There are many, but all disciplines fall into one of two categories: common or unique. Unique disciplines are those particular to a specific clan or bloodline, whereas common disciplines are shared by multiple Kindred clans and/or bloodlines.

Learning Disciplines
Disciplines can be learned by anyone, even those who do not normally have access to them based off of their clan or bloodline. However, common disciplines are the easiest to learn and may not always require the drinking of another's blood. Unique disciplines always require the drinking of another's blood and incur the added cost of taking a bane in theme with the source clan or bloodline's curse as befits the character learning the discipline.*

Understanding Disciplines
Discipline pages will give thematic breakdowns for the power along with the common or officially known sources of the ability. These pages will also list quick-roll charts and the effects for each level of the power as well as any relevant Amalgams or Devotions. Sources: WoD and CoD + House Rules
