Disciplines
The origin of the vampiric powers modernly known as Disciplines is unknown, however, many believe they are gifts from Caine or Lilith, and a few Antediluvians are thought to have invented unique Disciplines that have been passed down through their childer; others believe them to be inborn powers inherent to the undead body.
Every clan has three inherent Disciplines which they pick up more readily. Other Disciplines may be taught by tasting the blood of those who possess it. Many clans also have signature Disciplines that are not widely known outside of their clan and are sometimes carefully guarded, though this varies from clan to clan.
System: Some Discipline powers are available only as Amalgams, which require a specifically listed level of a separate Discipline in order to purchase. Pre-requisites are another occasional hurdle, requiring the player to already have a specific power to build upon. Some powers may even require a Pre-requisite on top of already being an Amalgam!
