I'm in a bit of a weird situation in our VtM game. My Tremere has recently discovered he has some sort of crazy abilities. My ST ran the initial scene, but has tasked me with creating the specifics (subject to his approval of course, but we have a pretty good working relationship, so I guess he trusts me to not do anything too outlandish)
Problem is, I have little to no experience with homebrewing, and I'm really just not all that full of ideas. You guys have been wonderfully helpful before, so I was hoping for more assistance. I really just need some place to start, precise mechanical details aren't as important at this stage.
Here's what I know so far:
* The character can crystallize his vitae outside his body at will, with at least some control over the shape, although he hasn't attempted anything complicated yet
* It "feels more innate, like your other disciplines, as opposed to being some kind of Thaumaturgy"
* Whatever these powers are, they're the result of the character's sire performing some kind of unspecified Thaumaturgical experiments on him at some point, although whether it's something that was always there and just unlocked, or whether the sire created the abilities herself has not been specified.
* None of the PCs or NPCs who know about it have seen anything like it before IC (and yes, several of them do have high Occult)
We were thinking something that involved the physical manipulation and/or transmutation of vitae (his own and possibly others'), but I'm having trouble coming up with things that fit the tone of Vampire and aren't just duplications of Path of Blood or Quietus.
If it helps, the character is a Tremere, of Russian origin, Path of Blood primary, built fairly jack-of-all-trades, but particularly good at interrogation/torture and taking a hit. We're using V20 for our system.
Thanks in advance!
