Obtenebration x 9
Darksight (from Lasombra clan book) - Elder
A useful power for eavesdropping and scouting. Darksight allows its possessor to "choose" a specific shadow as a listening post. The vampire may then see and hear (if she wishes) what would be seen and heard if she were standing within that shadow.
System: Both blood and Willpower (one point each) must be invested in each shadow used thusly, but the affinity between vampire and shadow remains until the shadow is dispelled by sunlight. Nor is there any distance limitation on this ability.
Shane BNS system: 1 blood, full turn in concentration. Must be be able to perceive the shadow to be used as a listening post.
Dark Hunter (LS1) - Elder
A Dark Hunter is a shadowy duplicate of the summoning vampire himself. A simulacrum made entirely of shadow, the Dark Hunter appears as a shadow silhouette of the vampire, right down to weapons, clothes and so forth. Indeed at a distance, the Dark Hunter may well be mistaken for its master.
A summoned Dark Hunter will do nothing until given a quarry. Once the target has been assigned, however, the Dark Hunter is relentless in stalking him, never resting (except during hours of daylight) until the chase is finished. However, that doesn't mean the Hunter is stupid or self-destructive, single minded does not necessarily mean simpleminded.
Depending upon instruction, a Dark Hunter can seek either to subdue, slay or protect its target; in the former case, it will automatically bring the victim back to its master by whatever means available. The Hunter cannot vanish into shadow and transport itself "home'; it must cover every foot of ground between it and its master. Once the Hunter's mission is accomplished, however, it vanishes instantly. The newly summoned creature must be feed 5 blood points and is given a point of Willpower. To fix a target within a Dark Hunter's mind, the summoning vampire must give something of the quarry's to the Hunter. A Dark Hunter possesses the same Attributes as the vampire who created it, down to Willpower. The Dark Hunter also has an Obtenebration score equal to half that of the Lasombra who animated it. It can use Unseen Presence as a Discipline though. Dark Hunters take damage like Night Shades, as well as from fire and sunlight. They can supposedly speak (in the voice of its vampiric creator).
There are some Lasombra who reputedly can can see through the eyes of their Dark Hunters, sometimes even extending their perceptions across multiple shadowy surrogates. Theoretically, if one wounds a Dark Hunter that a Lasombra is "listening in" on, one might wound the vampire as well, but this has never been proven. It is rumored that Lasombra himself once sent a pack of Dark Hunters after Caine himself, but the shadow creatures were unable to discover his whereabouts. Supposedly, these Hunters still wander the Earth, searching for Caine with a devotion long since fractured into madness.
The use of a Dark Hunter to assault a rival is considered to be a grave breach of etiquette among the Lasombra, equivalent to a thrown gauntlet at the beginning of a duel. After all, no Lasombra capable of summoning a Dark Hunter should be in the least bit threatened by one. On the hand, there's nothing in the protocol forbidding the sending of a Dark Hunter after one's inferiors--an different Lasombra define their inferiors in different ways.
Shane BNS system: 5 blood - 1 Willpower, full turn in concentration.
Eyes of the Night (PGS) - Elder
The vampire is able to see anything that goes on within the dark force created by any another use of this Discipline. Thus, the vampire could evoke the Shroud of Night (Level Two) in another room and clairvoyantly scan the area. Vampire automatically receives the Protean power Gleam of Red Eyes. Finally as long as the vampire is not in well-lit area, she may view her surroundings from anywhere within 50 feet of her own body just by closing her eyes and concentrating.
Shane BNS system: 1 Blood, simple action
Shadow Avatar - Elder (Shane)
This is a truly terrifying power. Lasambra wielding this power have gained a mastery of the Abyss that is truly terrifying. By exerting their willpower through any shadow they can see or that they control they can literally step move their consciousness into it. Forming a simulacrum of themselves. Their simulacrum gains power from the Abyss, they gain Vitae directly from the Abyss up to 1/2 their total maximum blood. These are not true blood traits as they are actually the substance of the Abyss. Anyone attempting to drink them from the Simulacrum take 1 pt of unsoakable aggravated damage.
The Lasambra may wield any in-clan Social or Mental Disciplines that they possess. and the Similacrum possess their Attributes and Skills.
