Nightborn Entitlement: Carnal

Power over Flesh

“Do you know what it means to be loved by Death?... Do you know what it means to have Death know your name?” ― Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire

Carnal is the Nightborn Entitlement concerning the Power over Flesh. The Nightborn Lineages with Carnal in their Inheritance are the Lamia, Bruxo, Barabbas, and Carmilla. Carnal’s Legacies are Brutality, Glamour, and Hemoturgy, Carnal’s Magic.

Brutality

Brutality enhances the Nightborn’s physicality far beyond natural limits. Supernatural empowerment can manifest in various ways, including unnatural strength, unyielding endurance, and a menacing aura. Brutality powers are useful for crowd control, intimidating others, and hand-to-hand combat.

1. Brawn – Muscles flex and bulge, increasing social intimidation and melee/brawl damage.

2. Smash – A heavy attack that can destroy objects such as a locked door, making a loud sound which may alert others.

3. Charge – Knock back opponents where you run as momentum greatly increases.

4. Shockwave – Smash ground causing an Area of Effect Knockback.

5. Pulverize – A massive strike which ignores armor with possible stun as you pound hit targets into the ground.

Glamour

Glamour allows a Nightborn to manipulate others’ emotions, implant new notions, and enhance desires. The feelings seem real to the victim, though an outside observer may think the change in behavior seems out-of-place. Glamour powers are fleeting and fade after some time. Glamour includes powers influencing lust, anger, and social outcomes.

1. Charm – A Target will see you are friendly, regardless of actual temperament.

2. Tempt – A Target move towards your current location whether is sees you or not, as it gets a feeling it should investigate.

3. Devotion – A Target becomes allied to you, fighting enemies and protecting you with their life.

4. Glory – A wide Area of Effect Stun as all who gaze upon you must fall to their knees in worship.

5. Riot – Rioters appear and start attacking randomly. Enhanced if you control your own Cult.

Hemoturgy

Hemoturgy is Carnal’s Magical Legacy. Magical Legacies require both blood costs and consume a spell component item. Hemoturgy’s spell component is Crimson Candles. Hemoturgy spells control blood, create wards against the Supernatural, and heal the caster. Hemoturgy is sometimes referred to as Sacrificial Magic, Blood Rituals, or Abjuration.

1. Syphon – Syphon the blood from a target at a range, bleeding them while slowly filling the caster’s blood meter.

2. Trap – Etch Blood Runes on the ground. When a Supernatural moves over them, they become bound to the spot until the runes fade.

3. Surge – Blood splashes over the caster, fully healing their body and removing negative statue effects.

4. Ward – Create a circle of protection made from blood on the floor. Hostile Supernaturals can’t enter the protected space until the line fades.

5. Blood Ocean – Syphon the blood from all viable targets present, bleeding them while rapidly filling the caster’s blood meter.
