Ravnos often utilize the Amalgams [[Mithya]], which allows them to project their Obfuscate as independent illusions that effect all five senses, and [[Maya]], which takes the projected illusion and grants it a form of substance by drawing on their Fortitude.
|bane=The Ravnos believe that their Bane is not a punishment so much as a trial. In their role as tempters, they too are tempted; each Ravnos, upon Embrace, becomes afflicted with a vice. This vice should be discussed with the Storyteller; often, something that would cause a character to move towards violation of a Chronicle Tenet or Conviction is most appropriate. Most Ravnos believe by overcoming this temptation of their blood, they will come closer to their mythic origin, bettering themselves and moving beyond their own limits, essentially 'purifying' themselves and moving further along their ''svadharma'' -- their divine purpose. The Ravnos takes penalties equal to the Bane Severity to any pools involved in avoiding indulging in this vice.
|compname=Svadharma (Divine Purpose)|compulsion=On the activation of this Compulsion by a Bestial Failure, the Ravnos' mind aligns with their 'mythic origin' as tempters of men, sent down to see who is righteous and who is not. The Ravnos must engage in attempts to coerce another individual (vampire or mortal) to violate a Conviction (most often using the powers of Mithya to assist). Any action not taken towards pushing someone to violate the Conviction suffers a -2 penalty, as the Beast fights against their attempt to avoid their ''svadharma''. The Compulsion lasts until the end of the scene, or until the target does something to definitively uphold Conviction in the Ravnos' presence, at which point the Compulsion ends.

|othercred=This version of the Ravnos is heavily inspired by the presentation of the Ravnos in Beckett's Jyhad Diary, eschewing the Roma aspects of it in large parts in order to focus on the caste-based Eastern Ravnos and the political game potential therein.
