●Witness to Orthia
Many of the rituals of the cult involve solemn retellings of Orthia's most significant victories. Once per night, you may publicly retell a story of Carthage. Any Ventrue hearing this story may immediately lower their Hunger by 1 and regain a point of Willpower. This does not allow a character to reduce their Hunger below their Blood Potency minimum.
●●Soldier's Code
The Cult of the Shattered Spear models their behavior after the ancient Spartans. While some write the cult off as careless berserkers, soldiers of Orthia rarely act with reckless abandon. Once per night, a cultist with this advantage may automatically win one challenge against any effect that would directly cause them to flee from a battle. This includes supernatural powers and Frenzy tests.
●●●Ritual of the Spear
One of the most secretive rituals of the Shattered Spear is the ability to imbue a mundane spear with the essence of Orthia herself. This ritual takes one Downtime Action to complete, and a cultist may only imbue one such spear at a time. Once complete, a member of the cult wielding an imbued spear requires one less staking challenge than usual to stake a vampire. This effect does not stack with the Oblivion ritual "Heart's Bane".
