There was nothing more to be gained by feigning unconsciousness, and he raised his head, as best he could, and spat a gob of fiction about blood into the Disciplinewoman’s face- a splash of crimson on snow.'' ''It was a brave thing to do, he thought. And a stupid one. Perhaps she would have left him to freeze, if he had not done that. Now, he had no doubt, she would hurt him. And perhaps his death would come the quicker for it.'' ''“So warm…” she whispered, like ice shearing from the mountain. The cold bit into his flesh, his tears crystallized in his eyes, and his voice froze in his throat.''|nicknames=NicknamesSikuttaq, cryomancy, mrozić, heat theft, hyperbore exousia|description=What The mysterious art of clan Błędnica, gelidus grants the vampire the ability to control the thermal energy of people and objects, chilling or freezing the world around them. At its most basic, gelidus enables a vampire to make a victim uncomfortably or dangerously cold. At its most terrifying, it allows Kindred to summon deadly, subzero temperatures, freezing humans and supernaturals alike. This Discipline does/descriptive about is the Beast at one with the grim realities of the arctic wastes.Vampires of Clan Błędnica ''are'' gelidus, as much as they are practitioners of the discipline. They use these powers to protect themselves, to trap their prey, steal their victim’s heat, and drop the world into a localized ice age. When using this Discipline, kindred feel connected to the primordial winter, but the wise know such connections only serve a larger pattern, and do not make the mechanical effectsvampire its master.|limits=Any non[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cKMT-XucIXrxa7-mechanical ST suggestions on limits3PRQ8u9o3Q1LpMlICXup9iPj6QW8/edit?usp=sharing '''Gelidus, Corebook Formatting''']|type=Mental, Social or Physical|masqthreat=Masquerade threat leve (Low Medium to High) Depending on the environment or weather conditions, some gelidus powers can be less overt. Obviously, a blast of subzero air is harder to explain away in the middle of a tropical summer, but in the dead of winter, it might not even be noticed. Many powers, however, are notably inhuman and some info about whywill likely break the masquerade if not utilized carefully.|resonance=Resonance typePhlegmatic.

The user concentrates for a turn and forces a limb into standing liquid or grips a nonliving object (except unliving flesh such as that of the Kindred) to freeze it. The vampire can choose to make a number of rouse checks, and each Rouse Check freezes approximately 35 liters of liquid or 100 cubic centimeters of solid, nonliving matter. Liquid freezes almost instantaneously; solid matter takes approximately three turns to freeze. (whether the material meaningfully weakens remains at the Storyteller’s discretion). The vampire can attempt to use chilling touch on mortals by rolling a contest of Dexterity or Strength + Brawl vs. the target’s Dexterity + Athletics. On a success, the vampire freezes the flesh within its grasp; this power freezes 100 cubic centimeters worth of flesh, organ, and bone per rouse check, dealing at least one aggravated damage (at the Storyteller’s discretion, this power may do more damage.) This power has no effect on vampires, however other supernaturals susceptible to cold can follow mortal rules, at the storyteller’s discretion.|duration1-2=N/A|level1-3=Level 1 Power 3 Name, if left blank the whole level 1 Power 3 section won't print|description1-3=Level 1 Power 3 Description|cost1-3=Level 1 Power 3 Cost|dicepool1-3=Level 1 Power 3 Dicepool|system1-3=Level 1 Power 3 System.

On a winning contest, the target is slowed, unable to move quicker than walking speed without taking one superficial damage per turn. If the victim attempts to use powers that grant rapid movement (such as Blink or Traversal, Celerity 3), they must succeed on a Stamina + Resolve check (difficulty 2+ the caster’s current blood potency) or take two superficial damage per use of the power.

While so entombed, the target takes no physical damage and gains no hunger, but otherwise sleeps as though in torpor. Despite its translucent appearance, the vampire is protected from sunlight as long as the ice sarcophagus lasts.  Physical damage to the ice will be repaired at a rate of 100 square centimeters per turn. Direct sunlight will melt the Tomb of Winter over a number of days equal to the user’s blood potency, otherwise the tomb lasts until the power is ended by the user.|duration3-1=Until ended, or destroyed.|level3-2=Level 3 Power 2 Name

On a success, the user temporarily slakes up to two hunger as they steal the warmth from their victim (Kiss of Winter cannot remove the final hunger die.) A win against a mortal target incapacitates them for the remainder of the scene, instilling severe lethargy. They act only to preserve themselves, not against the user or anyone else. A win against a vampire forces a rouse check from the victim. On a critical success the target begins to freeze, and is unable to act for one turn.■ Upon waking from the daysleep, the vampire must roll an additional rouse check for each hunger slaked with this power.|amalgam3duration=N/A|level4-1=LEvel 4 Power 1 NameDEAD OF WINTER|description4-1=Calling upon the dark heart of the coldest arctic winter, the vampire consumes the warmth around them, plunging the local area into subzero temperatures.|cost4-1=Two Rouse Checks|dicepool4-1=Stamina + resolve|system4-1=After rousing the blood, the vampire rapidly lowers the temperature within 50 meters to well below 30 degrees celsius. This rapid temperature drop can wreak havoc on plants, small animals, and fragile objects such as glass. Humans caught in the affected area without insulated clothing take one superficial damage per turn until they leave the area. Each turn, vampires other than the user in the affected area must roll Stamina + Resolve (difficulty 2 + the user’s blood potency.) On each failure, the vampire loses two dice to all physical dice pools.

Smaller objects will likely break into three or more superficial damage worth of shrapnel each, while a very large object may shatter into three or four shards of aggravated damage at the Storyteller’s discretion. All creatures in range must make a Dexterity + Athletics (difficulty 3+ the user’s blood potency), and take a portion of the total damage on a failure. |duration5-1=One Turn|level5-2=Level 5 Power 2 NameHIEMAL THEW|description5-2=A childe of the cold and darkness, the vampire’s connection to primordial winter now empowers their gelidus abilities.|cost5-2=One Rouse Check in addition to the power amplified.|dicepool5-2=Per the power used|system5-2=The Vampire can amplify their other gelidus powers. ** (Frostbite) negates two superficial damage or one aggravated damage before expiring. ** (Chilling Touch) can affect vampires as if they were mortals.
