Descendant of Samiel
Enemies of the Night
Not all Salubri are healers, empaths, or scholars. Among the remaining healers, some remember them as soothsayers, martyrs, and seekers of enlightenment who prioritize spiritual growth over ambition. They can heal both body and mind, which most Kindred believe defines the Salubri. However, in earlier centuries, many Salubri engaged in a fierce conflict with the Tremere. They turned away from healing to pursue vengeance against the Warlocks who destroyed their clan, eventually even aligning with other bloodthirsty forces, including the Sabbat. The story of the Warrior Salubri is closely linked to their most notable figure, Samiel. He was a fierce and devoted warrior who wrote the Code of Samiel, which outlined the principles of Via Vindica or the Path of Retribution. When Samiel died and the Tremere escalated their pogrom against Clan Salubri, the Code of Samiel fell apart. By 1230, only Qawiyya el-Ghaduba, Samiel's childe, had a complete written copy of the code. Today, remnants of the warrior tradition persist among the Salubri, many of whom are former Sabbat altered by years of suffering and war. Those who identify as Warrior Salubri no longer resemble the noble knights they once were, but descendants of Samiel still hold onto a legacy of purpose and hope for redemption, even amid loss.
●Code of Samiel
You no longer follow the Healer path. Your empathy has been destroyed by years of betrayal. Replace your clan Compulsion with the following: Righteous Wrath: When a Salubri suffers a Compulsion, the Kindred becomes consumed by an unshakable need to confront a perceived injustice in their presence. The Salubri must take decisive action to address or avenge the wrong. Any action not directly aimed at alleviating this injustice suffers a -2 penalty. The Compulsion lasts until the wrong is righted, a greater crisis demands attention, or the scene ends.
●●Bitter Resolve
Your lineage is defined by the conflict with Clan Tremere. You have learned to defend yourself from their powers. Once per game session, when you are called upon to resist a challenge involving a Dominate or Blood Sorcery power, you may choose to gain one Hunger to win the challenge automatically.
●●●The Unblinded Eye
The history of the Salubri clan is rife with stories of strife and betrayal from duplicitous warlocks and bloodthirsty Sabbat. The voracity of these ancient stories is hard to prove, but they drive the descendants of Samiel. Once a night, you may trigger your Clan Bane on purpose to automatically succeed in a test to pierce a power such as Obfuscate that obscures the visual truth from your eyes. This includes other supernatural powers similar to Obfuscate. When your eye opens from the use of this benefit, it cannot be hidden by any means; even mundane coverings are burned away when your eye opens.
