Daimoinon

These are the mysteries of the Baali, black arts torn from the sorcerer-kings of ancient cultures and prehistoric civilizations, incoherent memories passed from tome to tongue, hearkening to times of the distant past. While the Kindred is not a demon by making pacts with hell he can replicate the powers of the fallen y using his own vitae. Practitioners of Daimoinon ALWAYS have a link to the infernal.

⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫ Demonic Investiture

At this level of power, the Baali blurs the line between demon and kindred. His demonic vitae warps and twists his body. Baali who fail to control the power inherent in their blood are overcome by it, their mind and body become lost to hell and the kindred is no more than a puppet. For those Baali who are strong of will learning this level of Daimoinon allows the kindred to add a demonic feature to his body. There are five possibilities. A kindred with Daimoinon can learn it multiple times, each time gaining a different boon.

Fire immunity: The Baali becomes immune to fire and gains an unnatural sheen to his skin. In addition his aura becomes dimmer than even a normal kindreds.

Wings of the Pit: With a thought, the Baalie can grow leathery red or black wings from his back. This mirrors Flight 3 (the gargoyle discipline.)

Liars Tongue: The Demon gains +2 socials permanently. This counts as natural and thus also raises their Trait Max.

Unholy Communion: The Baali forges a direct telepathic link to a duke of hell. He gains Contacts 3 and Mentor 3 with the chosen Duke. The Duke counts as a trainer for all thaumaturgies.

Focused Beast: The Baali chooses a single type of frenzy and from then on that is the only type of frenzy he is subject to. Whenever he fails any frenzy check he initiates that type of frenzy.
