Combination Discipline

Combination Disciplines are unique vampiric powers which draw on the knowledge and abilities of multiple Disciplines.

Combination Disciplines are rare; they can usually only be learned from a Kindred who already knows the desired power, and are often jealously guarded secrets. Most are known to specific clans or bloodlines, and combine the in-clan Disciplines known to those groups, though there are powers shared by each Sect as well.

These powers are popular because they can add versatility to Disciplines a character possesses or address unique situations; they are also one of the few ways Kindred of higher generations can learn non-standard Discipline powers, as it is possible to create or learn Combination Disciplines which only require mid-level powers.

Combination Disciplines have pre-requisite powers for each Discipline used, and the resulting power often resembles a combination of the powers required. Some, however, are entirely distinct powers which draw on the themes of the Disciplines required, though these are often quite specific in their application.

Version differences
Combination Disciplines were introduced in the Revised Edition of Vampire: The Masquerade and are mainly presented in the various Revised clanbooks and in the Advanced Disciplines sections of the Sect books.

The concept of Devotions in Vampire: The Requiem is essentially the same as Combined Disciplines.
