This may explain how sorcerers such as the Tremere rapidly developed sorcery powerful enough to disrupt the status quo.ĭifferences Between The Masquerade and The RequiemĪ newly Embraced childe in Vampire: The Masquerade is one generation higher than her sire, and is of either the same clan or Caitiff. She gains a rebate of half of this total to spend on necromancy, Thaumaturgy, and other forms of blood magic. There is no official system for this but the storyteller does have the final say on justification.
Former sorcerers have the potential to learn magical Disciplines faster than other Kindred. The less resolute often enter undeath insane. Some are so strong-willed they vomit forth their sire's blood and immediately die. In any case, the experience is so traumatic that magi emerge from the transformation damaged. The Embrace either destroys a magus' enlightened soul or expels it to its next incarnation. One of the unbreakable laws of sorcery is that vampires may not practice Awakened magic. Kitsune will immediately burst into flames when Embraced, which may kill the attempted sire. Corax and Mokole die at sunrise regardless of if they are hidden from it, although Mokole will go insane like the Rokea do. An Embrace of an Ananasi, Camazotz, Grondr, Nagah, or Nuwisha simply fail. If they lose all of their Gnosis, they become little more than animals. However, they lose Gnosis whenever they violate their tenets unless they submit to the Wyrm. The Garou, the Ajaba, the Bastet, the Gurahl, the Ratkin, and the Rokea may all become vampires, although Ratkin decay like normal corpses and Rokea immediately go insane. Shapeshifters may or may not become Embraced.While two vampires can theoretically feed their Vitae to a candidate for an Embrace, the resulting vampire will generally have both the clan and generation as if the lower generation parent had performed the Embrace.Pregnant women almost always miscarry when Embraced, although a vampire fetus is a possible (and disgusting) scenario.Any activity which completely drains the corpse is acceptable draining does not cause the Embrace, vitae does.The Embrace is instantaneous, except in the case of Thin-blooded vampires, where it can take many hours.(One known exception is Cappadocius, although he may have used some form of ritual magic to prepare the vitae.) It cannot be placed in an intermediary vessel or otherwise delayed, because its supernatural properties quickly decay after leaving the vampire's body. Vitae must flow directly from the sire to the childe.Given a history of creative players, the rules of Embracing (or more specifically, not Embracing) have been fairly well defined in Vampire: The Masquerade all of these rules may apply to Vampire: The Requiem as well. Traditional vampire mythology lists a variety of processes by which someone can become a vampire. The Embrace is modeled after the process in Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire. Ventrue preferences take several weeks to define, and the Nosferatu change can take up to a month as the body re-forms to accept the curse.
#EMBRACE IT FULL#
After this point, the childe will experience hours of painful burning sensations as his or her body undergoes the process of death and disposes of needless waste.Īfter the Embrace, the fledgling may take several days before the full impact of the curse is apparent. For most vampires, this means that the Embrace is followed immediately by a moment of degradation. With less than a blood point available and no experience dealing with a fully raging Beast, the childe will most likely enter a hunger Frenzy at the first sight of blood. The first reaction most childer have after an Embrace is raw hunger. The moment of rebirth is perhaps the greatest pleasure the child will ever feel, perhaps the only true ecstasy he or she will feel other than the Kiss.
Once the candidate is drained of blood, the sire gives the candidate a small amount of his own blood, and this instantly transforms the candidate into a new childe. Any technique that results in a bloodless corpse will do, although most sires drain their soon-to-be childer by feeding on them, making the Embrace an intimate experience akin to sex and childbirth. When a vampire desires a childe, due to loneliness, regret at an accidental feeding, a need for a pawn, or any other reason, the first step is to drain the candidate dry.
