Protean is the Kindred Discipline of physical metamorphosis and transformation; the signature Discipline of clan Gangrel.

Overview[]

The nature of this power is hotly debated among the Kindred, for its abilities are so varied while simultaneously stemming from no obvious aspect of the Curse. Practitioners of Protean can grow fearsome claws, take on the shapes of animals and even become animate mist.

Powers[]

  • Aspect of the Predator: the vampire is unaffected by others' Predator's Taint.
  • Haven of Soil: dissolve into the ground
  • Claws of the Wild: sprout claws for combat or climbing
  • Shape of the Beast: transform into an animal
  • Body of Spirit: transform into mist

Update[]

As of Vampire the Requiem Second Edition, powers of Protean were refined and reorganized.[1]

  • Unmarked Grave - At the vampire’s silent command, the earth yawns open to embrace him.
  • Predatory Aspect - The vampire gains the ability to manifest a small host of bestial traits.
  • Prey's Skin - The vampire assumes the form of an animal that he consumed (killed through feeding).
  • Unnatural Change - As the Beast boils up through the Blood, the vampire’s human or animal shell begins to twist and crack. He manifests truly horrifying changes which no longer resemble the creatures of the natural world.
  • Primeval Miasma - The vampire dissolves into a cloud of smoke. Occasional flashes of yellow appear within the smoke, like the gleaming of eyes.
