Blood Sorcery Paths

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $6.47

Blood Sorcery Paths is an exploration of some of the previously seen powers and rituals from Thaumaturgy and other magics traditions into v5. The document is divided between three main sections.


Ritualized Paths: Old paths converted into v5 Rituals

Overhauled Paths: Expansion on what the previous editions did, being enough powers so that two players taking them can have a completetly different set of powers.

Appendix: How to convert the Powers from Overhauled Paths into Rituals

The following is an expansion of the index of the document:

Ritualized Paths

  • Biothaumaturgy - Less low key Necromancy + Viccisitude than the previous editions made it to be, now it involves "crazy brain surgery" on live subjects plus a spin on the mad doctor vive
    • Thaumaturgical Forensics - Prepare slides from tissues to use under a microscope. Somewhat of an upgrade to Blood Walk.
    • Thaumaturgical Surgery - Enchant surgery tools in order the heal faster, even for vampires.
    • Brainwashed Drone - Crazy brain surgery to lobotomize a live organism. They also gain a dot and a power from a Physical Discipline.
    • Cognizant Drone - Reconstruct the brain of someone affected by the previous ritual. They also gain a dot and a power from a Mental or Sorcery Discipline.
  • Curses - Standarized Ingredients, Process and overall system. Similar to how the Wards work in corebook. The caster can use them as a bargain chip since they can drop them anytime.
    • Stigma - People shy away from the acursed. Penalty on Social interactions
    • Malady - Physical illness overcomes the body. Penalty on Physical pools
    • Pariah - People percieve the cursed as a dire rival. This ritual does not work on people that already know the subject.
    • Corrupt Body - The victims body distorts and a single Physical Attribute (Strength or Dexterity) drops to 1.
    • Fall from Grace - All failures count as Bestial Failures and a +2 on oposing rolls.
  • Lure of Flames - Good old firebolt, who does not love it?
    • Anathema - After a complicated ritual, create mystical ashes that can be thrown as attack with the range of a shotgun. Can cause Terror Frenzy on the user.
  • Warding - Sharing the process of the corebook warding rituals, this is an expansion on their utilitites.
    • Bar the Common Passage - Reinforces a door physically and warns the caster if it breaks open.
    • Glyph of Scrying - Remote cameras with telepathic connection.
    • Runes of Power - Makes difficult to recall information read in the Scene.
    • Glyph of Enlightment - The user can speak through it and transmit other Discipline powers. This ritual does not allow to see.
    • Secure the Sacred Domain - Simmilar to Bar the Common Passage but with all entrances of a building.

Overhauled Paths

  • Levinbolt - Good old electric powers. Perfect for a cyberpunk setting.
    • Flicker - Disrupts electronics around the user. Can fry/deactivate specifics mechines
    • Frictionless Mobility - Removes friction from the body of the vampire, allowing it to slide and be inmune to Grapple. Makes difficult moving.
    • Electroception - Detects the electric fields generated by living beings and modern technology even through walls. Can decipher radio signals or cellphones and tap into them.
    • Synpatic Enhancement - Good old electrically powered brain.
    • Electrical Stimulation - Ignores penalties from Impairement (Health or Willpower).
    • Discharge - Lightning bolt or full body shock. Can be used creatively and non-lethaly
    • Electromagnetic Shielding - Vertical, rectangular field of crackling electricity that blocks ranged attacks until it collapses and explodes, returning some damage.
    • Eye of the Storm - Electrical charge enveloping the body and fluctuating. Gives some protection against ranged attacks (because of the blinding lights) and damages enemies in melee range.
    • Zeus's Fury - Like Discharge but Agg and potentially stuns others.
    • Redirect Lightning - Channelling the electricity of a nearby source allows for an area attack.
  • Transmutation - Change the state of the matter without changing the temperature
    • Fortify the Solid Form - Reinforces a solid object. Can make weapons or cover from items.
    • Crystallize the Liquid Form - A liquid becomes solid. Combo with the previous power to make knives out of water.
    • A World of Wet Clay - Treat inorganic material as it was mud. Can be used artistically.
    • Liquefy the Solid Form - Make liquid a solid object, rendering it useless. 
    • Gaol - Solidify the air to trap.
    • Imbue the Water of Life - Crystallize another Discipline power. These crystals can be consumed to use the powers for free with the original dicepool. Powers that require a target need to be introduced inside the body of the target.
    • Ghost Wall - Solid objects become thin air. Can trap things inside when the object resolidifies
    • Shall This Place Become Hell - Causes Extreme Temperatures in an area (either cold or hot).

Appendix

  • Levinbolt - Example on how to adapt the powers into devices powered by vitae-infused electricity
  • Transmutation - Example on how to adapt the powers into Runic Circles

I might be in the minority, but I really like Levinbolt as a power! It just feels so much cooler to have lighting/ electricty shoot from your own body then a device. Great book that I highly reccomend! [...]

Great addition to the game, I do wish they were all listed for being as rituals (including levinbolt) and hope we see a few more paths in the future like Movement of the Mind or weather magic [...]

This product meant to expand the role of Blood Sorcery in their game, which is does achieve. Layout-wise, it's not on par with the author's other product, mostly due to the selection of font, but it still has some amazing artwork. [...]

I'll admit, I'm not a fan of Blood Sorcery doing everything and the kitchen sink, and a lot of the powers in this book specifically are some of the ones I personally wouldn't want to see make a comeback at my table. That said, a l [...]

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.
