Cachexy is the unique Discipline of the Morbus bloodline of Kindred. Extending their connection to disease, Cachexy allows them to spread disease selective, inflict symptoms upon victims or exacerbate the afflictions of those already suffering from a disease. Given the Morbus need to drink the blood of diseased mortals, it is very important among them; indeed, a Kindred is not considered a "proper" member of the bloodline until they achieve some knowledge of the Discipline.
Most Cachexy powers only work on mortals, since supernatural creatures are often resistant to disease.
Powers[]
Diagnose - enables a Morbus to sense the taint of infected blood in humans.- Contaminate - infects a small object or area with a supernaturally resilient form of a disease carried by the Morbus, making contamination highly likely for any mortal who comes into contact with it.
- Inflame - intensifies the symptoms of a disease carried by the target, causing weakness through headache, muscle pain, nausea or the like.
- Plague-Bearer - the Morbus infects multiple mortals with a disease he carries without needing to touch them. It may also infect Kindred.
- Accelerate Disease - greatly intensifies the effects of a disease, seriously injuring or even killing the victim.
