V5 Technomancy

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This product details the Technomancy Discipline for V5, which applies the principles of Blood Sorcery to modern inventions. Like Blood Sorcery, this Discipline has both powers and rituals. The rules given here are new creations, not adaptations from previous editions.

Technomancy Powers

  • Level One
    • Data Bleed. Make recently-recorded data literally bleed out of a device, concealing what needs to be concealed.
    • Conductive Vitae. Your vitae becomes electrically conductive, allowing you to channel an electric current for many purposes.
    • Wave Sense. Gain the ability to sense EM radiation without the aid of equipment.
  • Level Two
    • Spectrum Pulse. Obliterate all signals in the area with your own restarted heartbeat.
    • Sanguine Shell. Issue commands to technological devices by touching your vitae to them.
  • Level Three
    • Byte of Blood. Store data in a portion of your vitae for safekeeping or transfer to another device.
    • Rerouting the Silicon Veins. Overwrite or delete data recorded on a device by sending your own blood vessels snaking into it.
  • Level Four
    • Read the Waves. Decipher data being transmitted via EM radiation just by looking at the radiation itself.
    • Encoding of Marrow. Store data imbued into vitae in your bones or those of another.
  • Level Five
    • Charge and Discharge. Become immune to damage from electricity, learn to store a charge in your own body long-term, and release a powerful electric shock at a distance.
    • Bleeding Avatar. Project your consciousness into a technological device and its network as an avatar covered in blood.

Technomancy Rituals

  • Level One
    • Red Admin. Blood bond your cell phone or computer.
    • Remote Access. Key one of a device's functions to your blood so that you can control it at a distance.
  • Level Two
    • Bloodwall. Protect your device against unwanted access and devices that do succeed in accessing it start bleeding as a failsafe.
    • Decrypt. Remove supernatural protections from a device and make mundane attempts to gain access to it easier.
  • Level Three
    • Red Sight Filter. Hide elements of data and programs on a device with the power of Obfuscation.
    • Sanguinary Synchronicity. Attune two similar devices so that any supernatural powers used on one are also used on the other.
    • Lurking Daemon. Embed a device with vitae containing undetectable contingent code.
  • Level Four
    • Viral Vitae. Infect a device with a virus that spreads to other devices with a physical connection and reduces them all to melted silicon and blood.
    • Bloody Emulation. Turn a rock into a temporary cell phone of blood, or any other device you might need in a pinch.
  • Level Five
    • Awakening the Silicon Soul. Create an artificial intelligence chip and grant it sentience and a never-ending thirst for blood.
    • Fusing Voltage and Vein. Make devices a part of your body, as natural to use as your hands.

One of my favorite blood magic paths from v20! The description of spells and rituals feel a little more hardware focused than the hactivist thaumaturgy lore. But they also feel more modern and computer centered! I love the sound of making an artificial intelligence vampire, or AV, as I'll know it.

Most of them only require Technomancy, but there is one amalgam power and a couple rituals that require other Disciplines to learn.

Thank you! It would be awesome if it did not, since you can only have so many disciplines.

Which Clans would be appropriate for this? Malkavian? Nosferatu?

It's not in-clan for anyone (as written, at least), and I see it as something that has to be taught, like Blood Sorcery. That said, I think it would work well as an in-clan option for thin-bloods. In my Chronicle, Technomancy was invented by a thin-blood, taught to a rogue Tremere, and then passed along to a Malkavian. Poor Nosferatu haven't gotten their hands on it yet, although it definitely seems like something they'd want.

Looks like this could also be helpful for games in the CoD world as well? Specifically Changeling The Lost? We are not always confined in the Hedge and having something like this could be helpful for players and Storytellers alike. I personally don't run super modern games as cellphones in them can be annoying to track (lots of inventing NPCs via handwave and writing them down and/or adds the convenience and "real world" factors which I am personally not a fan of and most anyone I play with is of the same mind. However this has me curious. Is it the case this could be nice for other games, or do you feel this is very VtM focused?

It is very focused on VtM, unfortunately for your purposes. I love Changeling but I've never had a chance to play it, so I'm not really in a position to write anything for it. Feel free to check out the Full Size Preview on this product if you want to check exactly how vampiric it is!

Yes, thank you. From my glance at it, it looks like a mental copy-paste trick of the mind is all that's necessary to make it rather applicable. Where you have Vitae, change to Wyrd. Where you have blood, change to Glamour. It's all similar game mechanics across the CoD in my bias jaded opinion. Perhaps a tad bit of home brew. I'll keep it in my wishlist. Thank you.

I sudden think I know how the original Tremere clan felt when shown this branch of Thaumaturgy.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
