●Influencer
As a member of the Cinder Institute, the Ashfinders' mortal-facing front, you've developed some sway among mortals. This keeps your cult hidden in plain sight. Gain 4 dots of Allies or Contacts or their associated Advantages. These bonus dots must all be from the same sphere of Influence.
●●Cook
Gain the Concoct Ashe ritual for free and the ability to purchase the Chemically Induced Flashback and Discipline Channeling formula with experience points. As an important part of the Ashfinders' supply line, you've had plenty of opportunities to hone your craft. When creating Ashe, each win or tie yields two doses of the drug.
●●●Addiction Resistance
Ashe addiction drives a Duskborn into a vicious cycle of hunger and frenzy. You've developed a natural resistance to that cycle. When you use Ashe or formulae that require Ashe, you no longer make a Rouse Check. In addition, when using Discipline Channeling, you may lose a maximum of 1 Willpower, even if you fail both the Discipline Channeling test and the Ashe Addiction test.
Ashe Addiction
Every time a thin-blood takes Ashe, they must make a static challenge; if they lose this challenge, they lose 1 point of Willpower. A vampire who has lost 2 or more Willpower from Ashe is considered to be suffering from Ashe addiction. A vampire who gains the Impaired Condition (losing their last Willpower) from Ashe consumption will gain the Helpless Condition (and resolve the Impaired Condition) sometime in the next 30 minutes, as determined by the Storyteller. Furthermore, any time a thin-blood smells the blood of another vampire, or is successfully targeted by the powers of a vampire while they are under the effects of Ashe addiction, they must test for Hunger Frenzy with a difficulty of 1 + the number of Willpower they have lost from using Ashe since they last rested.
