Sutekh Fathers Anubis
Combination Discipline · Vampire · “Sutekh Fathers Anubis (Necromancy ••••, Serpentis ••••)”
Developed by Lazarus, and the principal reason for his victory over Clanmates sent to kill him, the Cainite with this power can change form into a monstrous, rotting jackal over seven feet from foot to shoulder blade. This Anubis form grants the vampire greater damage from her bite, the ability to travel faster than a human, an enhanced sense of smell, and the physical fortitude of a corpse infused with necromancy.
System: The vampire spends one blood point and one Willpower, rolling Stamina + Occult (difficulty 7). The metamorphosis takes two turns. Clothing and small personal possessions transform with the vampire. The vampire remains in jackal form until the next dawn, unless she chooses to revert. Difficulty on all Perception rolls related to smell are reduced by two, and the jackal’s bite inflicts an additional two points of damage, without need to grapple. The form can move twice as fast as a human, and benefits from the cadaver-like resilience bestowed by Gift of the Corpse (V20, p. 169.) Any of the vampire’s Disciplines can still be used in this form.
This power costs 24 experience points to learn.
