  • Restricted to vampires.
  • Clan-specific are restricted to that clan. ("Clan-specific" may be interpreted based on canon text, e.g. Doubletalk "This is not one of the great, deep secrets of the clan: Some Tremere and Malkavians have also mastered the technique...")
  • Others are restricted/disallowed at staff discretion.
  • If canon is missing an XP cost, it's 3 XP per prerequisite dot.
  • For Awareness checks, use the highest level among its prerequisites.
  • If you bought one but it doesn't show up on +sheet, remind staff to set Has Combination Disciplines = 1.

Restriction can be by Clan, Sect, and/or Road/Path.

  • High Clans: Brujah, Lasombra, Toreador, Tzimisce, Ventrue (Giovanni will be evaluated on request)
  • Low Clans: Assamite, Followers of Set, Gangrel, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Ravnos, Tremere, others at ST discretion (PGtLC 158)
  • Road of Sin: Path of Cathari also qualifies (Chaining the Beast 50)

Not in game yet, reviewed on case by case basis

  • Probably allowed: Revised era combination disciplines
  • Might be allowed: 2nd Edition, Dark Ages: Vampire
  • Probably not allowed: 1st Edition, Kindred of the Ebon Kingdom, Vampire the Dark Ages
  • Don't even try: Vampire 20th Anniversary or 5th Edition, foreign language quasi official supplements, homebrews
  • House rule: If XP cost is missing in the book, it's 3 per prerequisite dot

Individual clarifications:

  • Alpha Glint
    • Gangrel rolls (Charisma + Animal Ken + Willpower).
    • If some but not all opponents are Garou (shifters): Gangrel rolls (Charisma + Animal Ken) and (Willpower) separately. Only half their successes from Charisma + Animal Ken (rounded down) count against Garou.
  • Doubletalk
    • Merely knowing of the existence of Doubletalk is not enough to detect or understand compressed sentences.
  • Instantaneous Transformation
    • A Vicissitude variation is available. Other variations may be +requested.
