Changes

'''Skill-focused changes:''' Skill-focused changes such as suckers for climbing, or hooves for running, or changing appearance to impersonate someone, should be represented by providing one extra die pool to most rolls involving a specified Skill, but two dice rolls involving a specific Skill Specialty. As these dice bonuses are a result of physical body modification rather than the mystical power of the Blood, this dice-bonus does not benefit from Discipline Power Bonus from Blood Potency, nor the dice-bonus from Resonance, but is cumulative with normal Skill Specialties.  For instance, climbing suckers would provide a one-die bonus to all Athletics dice pools and a two-dice bonus to all Athletics (Climbing) pools, running hooves would provide a one-die bonus to Athletics pools and a two-dice bonus to Athletics (Running), whilst crafting your features to impersonate your neighbour Mary would provide a one-die bonus to Subterfuge and a two-dice bonus to Subterfuge (Impersonate Mary).  A character may make multiple changes which outwardly manifest in the same way, such as a sucker which helps with both Athletics (Climbing) and Larceny (Pickpocket), as long as they sacrifice an Attribute dot for each mechanical benefit. Vicissitude can grant bonuses to Skills (and related specialties in) Craft, Larceny, Stealth, Survival, Intimidation, Performance, Subterfuge and Awareness. Vicissitude may also apply to the non-combat applications of Athletics, providing no dice bonus to Archery, Dodging or Throwing, even if granting a different Athletics & specialty bonus.
