World of Darkness 5th Edition (Paradox) Vampire the Masquerade 5e Character Sheet: Lily

The power to mentally compel others into action, and remove and alter memories. The Lasombra speak lovingly of their ability to crush wills and command obedience without the unnecessary pretense of the Ventrue and Toreador. The callous way in which they exert this Discipline on victims earns antipathy from the other clans, yet few deny the Magisters’ ability in brainwashing and subjugating prey. Without hesitation, a Lasombra uses Dominate to tell a victim to bare their neck and ready for feeding.

The ability to manipulate darkness as a weapon or tool. This power, envied by some Kindred, loathed by most, is the Lasombra’s greatest strength and deepest weakness. Lasombra may use shadows to attack a foe, intimidate a victim with a cloak of darkness, or pass into one shadow and exit another to evade observation. Many claim there’s a cost to one’s soul for using Oblivion, or that it draws the eyes of the clan founder.

This power enables a vampire to hit unnaturally hard, lift with an inhuman strength, and bound across impressive distances. Few Lasombra use Potence for the purpose of assisting their feeding, considering it a vulgar exercise to manually grab and hold a vessel. The clan’s members favor popping an enemy’s skull with their hands, driving a boot through a punk’s stomach, or ripping a door off a hinge to command respect and fear in other circumstances, however.
