| + | ====== Paths ====== | ||
| + | Thaumaturgical Paths define the types of magic a vampire can perform. The first path a character learns is considered her primary path and increases automatically as the character advances in the Discipline itself.\\ | ||
| + | Secondary paths may be learned once the character has acquired two or more dots in her primary path, and they must be raised separately with experience points.\\ | ||
| + | A character’s rating in her primary path must always be at least one dot higher than any of her secondary paths until she has mastered her primary path.\\ | ||
| + | All Tremere Characters start with The Path of Blood. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Using Powers ===== | ||
| + | Each time the character invokes one of the powers of a Thaumaturgical path; \\ | ||
| + | * The player must spend a blood point\\ | ||
| + | * Make a Willpower roll, difficulty equal to the power’s level +3.\\ | ||
| + | Only one success is required to invoke a path’s effect — path levels, not successes, govern the power of blood magic.\\ | ||
| + | Failure on this roll indicates that the magic fails.\\ | ||
| + | A botch causes some kind of loss or catastrophic backfire, such as losing a Willpower point (or dot!), spontaneous combustion, or accidentally letting a living statue run rampant. Thaumaturgy is an unforgiving art. | ||
