Plagues of Gehenna
Enemies of the Night
Vampires have long been associated with disease and the spread of sickness. Throughout history, cults embracing this connection have emerged; however, in modern times, there has been a rise in such plaguebringers. Some cults believe vampires are the bringers of plague upon humanity and actively spread sickness to bring about the end times. More sophisticated groups develop complex justifications, linking disease to the Beckoning or corrupting the herd to afflict Kindred themselves. Regardless of the reasoning, the result is always the same: piles of decaying bodies, vampires vomiting tainted blood, and swarms of flies. As a result, most sect-aligned Kindred quickly eradicate these cults.
●Autoclave
You fear becoming a disease vector, and have taken great measures to limit this possibility. You gain a three-dot Herd that is immune to disease, as long as you never allow another character to utilize it. You may choose to purchase an additional Herd that you can share normally. This is an exception to the rule preventing you from purchasing Herd more than once. In addition, whenever you succeed in a Medicine roll pertaining to a mortal, living or dead, you can discern any vampiric diseases that may have been carried, even if they displayed no symptoms.
●●Firebreak
Throughout your extensive study of vampire and mortal disease, you have kept tabs on mortals who lead their field in disease pathology. You have kept them from discovering the true nature of some of the diseases they have encountered, preserving the Masquerade and possibly even advancing their careers for their silence in such matters. You gain a free three-dot Contact and a 3 dot Ally in the Health Sphere of Influence.
●●●Disease Sample
You would never admit it, and you keep it guarded and hidden, but you have managed to secure yourself a sample of a FIRSTLIGHT-designed disease or parasite. Once every six months, you can attain or synthesize one dose of BGMA, C. Hydeii, EV-H07, KOL-05 or Necrophage Cocktail. You understand how to maintain this sample safely and how to use it as a weapon.
