|description=This is the signature power of the Tzimisce: the ability to reshape others’ flesh and bone like clay, bending bodies as well as minds to their will. Some Fiends use this for “cosmetic surgery”, altering other vampires’ appearance (for a price), while others use it to transform their ghouls into horrifying weapons of war.
|cost= 1 Rouse Check)
|dicepool=Stamina+Protean
|system=by using a full turn to shift the body's bones and tissue around the user makes themselves more adept at anything they set their mind to.
Roll Stamina+Protean, for every success achieved on the roll you may trade 1 dot of a physical ability to gain any of the following benefits:
- add one dot to an ability
- add +2 to the looks merit
- grow the equivalent of a light weapon +2 of a piercing (like fangs), bladed (like claws) or blunt (like a knuckle duster) variety, used with the Melee skill. This light melee weapon counts as a weapon for the use of other disciplines that affect weapons.
- grow the equivalent of armour at a rating 2
- supplement a skill with +2 margin on a success
These benefits may not be stacked on the same ability, skill, armour or weapon (ex. no allocating more than 1 dot to STR or stack looks merits from 0 to 4 for Stunning)
On a critical success the user gets to activate one of the benefits for free.
The use of the power ends at the end of the scene, a user may end the use of this power sooner using a turn. They lose the benefits and restore any lost dots of physical attributes.
