If they do, those the Brujah attack with a Brawl or Melee attack may not Dodge the incoming attack. They may only attempt to soak the attack itself. Character with Elder levels and higher of celerity are immune to attacks made with this combination discipline.

XP Cost: 6

*Scorching Fury (Potence 3, Celerity 3)

The Brujah were once known and feared for their power of burning wrath, but in the Final Nights something occurred that weakened the power. Much like the Celerity refinement of old that the brujah did (See the Celerity Dark Ages power the Brujah developed to make it so Celerity costs 1 blood instead of 1 blood per level) this discipline technique is a refinement of the Brujah's Burning Wrath to make it once was. The Brujah channels his fury into his blows and digs deeper than before. His Burning Wrath becomes far more intense and powerful. Not to mention lasting far longer. Thus the fear of this legendary technique of the Brujah returns once again.

System: Each Turn she spends a Blood Point to maintain this power, all her brawling attacks cause aggravated wounds. Those struck by the Refined Burning Wrath feel steam sear their flesh, and must make a Willpower check (difficulty 8) to act next turn. Those who fail the Willpower check writhe in agony as the liquid flame seems to blaze through their bodies. These mechanics are taken from the first edition Brujah Clanbook.

Members of the Sabbat Nosferatu often use their skills in Obfuscate and their appearance to create legends among the mortals of mythical monsters that hunt and kill humans in the modern nights. As a result, some Creeps developed this combination discipline that allows them to mystically create an appearance of their choosing, that of a monster, and attach an aura of pure dread and nightmare to it. As a result all who see this monster tend to run in terror or have a hard time acting. Some will even trip and fall as they run in panic. The downside of this combination discipline, there is in no way that it can ever be used in a manner that isn’t a breech of the masquerade.

System: The character must spend 1 blood trait when activating Mask of a Thousand Faces to activate this combination disciplines. Once activated, for the next scene or an hour any character who sees the Nosferatu with this combination discipline must make a Courage Challenge difficulty 5 (they may not spend a willpower to automatically negate this challenge) or a willpower challenge at difficulty 10.

This combination discipline may only be learned by Nosferatu Antitribu characters.

==Invocations of Caine==
In the Dark Ages of the Vampire world many creatures practiced the Incantations of old. Through the insights and skills of Sabbat Rights they were able to adapt the old practices of Incantations to the faith of the Sabbat. As a result, this merit functions exactly like the Incantations merit but only the following may be purchased from it. New Invocations may be made in time, but take great skill to create and master (these require Storyteller approval). To maintain this merit the vampire must be a sabbat priest with a morality rating of 7 or higher. The Invocations of Caine Merit is just another name for the Incantation Merit (2pt Supernatural Merit). Your character learns a single Incantation. This Merit may be purchased during play several times, each for a new Incantation. This costs six experience points. Once the character learns an Incantation, he may use it by following this procedure:

*Ritual Requirements: Each Incantation can only be cast in a particular time, place, or both, such as at under the full moon or at a murderer’s grave. The Incantation also requires specific materials: certain herbs, say, or worms
boiled in a cauldron. Only then can the witch perform ritual acts to rouse the Incantation’s magic.

*Circle, Amulet, or Potion: The priest must decide whether the Invocation of Caine's power affects an area (circle), is bound to an object that can be moved (amulet), or is stored within an object that is later consumed (potion). Invocations of Caine possess one great limit compared to other forms of magic, in that they cannot truly affect distant targets unless an amulet or potion is brought to its location. Note that “circle,” “amulet,” and “potion” are examples and general names, and a length of red string that expends its magic when tied to someone might count as a “potion” for rules purposes. A circle need not be truly circular, but can define a space with no more than a 15 meter radius. An amulet is transferrable, and can be stolen from or secreted on a person.

*Willpower Expenditure and Roll: At the ritual’s conclusion, spend one point of the Priests Willpower and Make a Static Willpower challenge at difficulty 8. Only one success is required to bring about the Invocations of Caine's full effect.

*Invocations of Caine and Other Magic: Invocations of Caine cannot undo the effects of Path magic, Disciplines, and Awakened magic. They’re inferior to all of these, and these forms of magic can undo Incantations using their usual systems for countermagic, as if each Invocations of Caine were a one-dot power that scored one success.

==Ritae==
===Gangs of New York===
New York was home to the third Sabbat Civil War and is infamously known for its covens fighting among each other for territory and resources in the city or political issues. To avoid another all out war in the city; the clergy of New York developed this ritae. Designed off the frame work of Monomacy; this ritae is performed under much the same rules and guidelines, but for entire packs rather than single Sabbat members. A Priest of the Sabbat (A Pack priest, Bishop or Higher) who is not involved in the conflict must perform this ritae. The start of which is brining all the packs involved in the conflict together for council to determine terms, weapons, place, and time. Such uses of ritae often result in a large bloody conflicts in the hidden parts of New York, but when the battle is done; the issue is resolved without need for further bloodshed.

System: This Ignoblis ritae functions almost identically to the Monomacy Ritae. However, rather than a one on one fight, this ritae allows for a Pack on Pack conflict. Indeed, even several packs may face off against other groups of packs under this ritae (as long the number of packs on both sides are the same.). Those who participate under this ritae can suffer Final Death legally in the Sabbat as the same a Monomacy. The victorious pack (or packs) gain the territory and possessions of the defeated packs (or packs). A member of the clergy uninvolved in the conflict must perform this ritae.

===Cry of the Damned===
Due to the dangers of the massive mortal population of New York; members of the cities clergy developed this ritae off the effects of the Palla Grande Ritae. The Sabbat priest burns brazers similar to those during the High Holiday to spread a fine pink reddish mist throughout and area. Mortals in that area will find their minds effected when vampires reveal themselves. The vast majority of which will react in fear or panic when the Masquerade is broken in front of them but will forget the event later. Only the strongest willed of mortals can act normally and fully remember the events of the Masquerade breech.

System: To perform this ritae the priest must burn the bones of a fallen sabbat member with the blood of a vampire in a brazer. As the reddish pink mist leaves the brazers it will fill an area. Any mortal in the area will react to any breaches of the Masquerade for the next scene or hour in the following ways depending on their willpower scores:

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Caption
|-
! Willpower Score !! Forget? !! Reaction
|-
| 1 || Yes || The human faints, or collapses in fear unable to recall anything of the events.
|-
| 2 || Yes || The human bolts, trying to put as much distance between himself and the vampires as possible. unable to recall anything of the events.
|-
| 3 || Yes || The human retreats to a corner to avoid the “hallucination” until it passes, but doesn’t collapse in fear
|-
| 4 || Yes || The human attacks, be it firing a gun (he won’t have enough presence of mind to reload, however), throwing crockery, or even leaping at the “monster
|-
| 5 || Yes || Much like panic, except with rational thought. The human is able to think enough to lock doors behind him or to get in a car and flee
|-
| 6 || Yes || The human will try to plead and bargain with the Vampire, doing anything possible so as not to get hurt
|-
| 7 || No, but will rationalize || Although terrified, he does not panic. The human will flee or fight as appropriate, but remains in control of his actions
|-
| 8 || No, but will rationalize || These people are dangerous, because they remember what they saw (more or less), and they might well investigate the matter further
|-
| 9 || No || This human refuses to take anymore. She is afraid but angry, and she will remember the Vampire and probably even try to hunt it down;
|-
| 10 || No || The human is not the slightest bit afraid or bothered by the Vampire. Even Ghouls aren’t this stoic, so Vampires tend to be very suspicious of such folks
|}

===New York Fu*King City===
The Sabbat of New York, in particular the covens, are fanatical about their love for their city. Priests of New York have developed this ritae to bolster the convictions of the sect within New York in times of need or celebration. The priest gives a speech about both the Sabbat and New York city with fiery conviction. Additionally the priest hands out a special concoction of blood that is flammable. They ignite the blood and consume it as the end of the speech as it is in flames.

System: This ritae may only be performed for members of the Sabbat who call New York their home. Once performed, for the next scene or an hour, the vampire gains 2 attribute traits of their choice which must be chosen at the time of performing this ritae and may not be changed. These traits may go over generational maximums, but not passed max trait bid rules. Additionally this ritae may not be stacked. The priest performing this ritae must drink flaming blood. To do so the priest must either pass a Courage 5 challenge or spend 1 level of the fire eating ability to automatically succeed.

==Grand Synod Ritae==
The following Ritae were introduced at the Kings of New York Grand Synod event. Characters were allowed to learn these Ritae from the event itself, and are free to teach them to others. For a character who does not possess these Ritae, they must locate a character who does and is willing to teach them. Please keep this in mind, as a character may not simply have any of the below Ritae without a proper chain of instruction.

===Burial Rites===
Camarilla Propaganda supports that Sabbat is a mindless horde of vampire monsters who will take large groups of people, embrace them, and bury them alive. This is largely incorrect to how the Sabbat actually makes new members of the sect. However, in times of war the Sabbat will in fact mass embrace humans as a tactic. This ritual was created to support that practice. By burying the newly embraced mortal “alive” and forcing them to dig themselves up it strips away their humanity and makes them more likely to kill when needed. These new vampires are known as False Sabbat and still must earn their creation rites. Though those that do often have an easier time transitioning to the Sabbat’s paths of enlightenment.

System: Characters who embraced using the burial rites must through a Simple Challenge for each level of Humanity they have (this may reduce them to a minimum of 1 Humanity but not lower). On a loss, they permanently lose a level of Humanity. However, when and if the characters attempts to go onto a Path of Enlightenment; the character gains a free retest on challenged to transition to their new Morality. This retest only applies to a transition from Humanity onto a Path of Enlightenment.

===Red Wedding===
A hold over from an ancient Tzimisce tradition of vampiric political weddings, the Red wedding ritae is still practiced by some of the Sabbat who wish to either form a stronger bond among sect mates or even still for political reasons. The Ritae itself requires a mortal wedding. One of which the Sabbat invade. The gathered Cainites proceed to brutally murder and terrorize the mortal wedding and turning it into a blood affair. After which, the two cainites that wish to announce their bond to one another bath in the blood of the victims on the altar and solidify their “marriage”. This is by no means a actual marriage between vampires, it is a mockery of the mortal tradition perverted by the Sabbat to make a statement over mortal traditions and the Cainite blood is stronger then words.

System: Characters that have undergone a Red Wedding develop a special bond that lasts until the vampire reaches final death. When in the presence of the other character they have performed the Red Wedding with; the character is considered to have 1 additional temporary willpower trait that may go over generational maximums. If this trait is spent, is does not return for one month. This ritae does not stack with the Merits True Love or Loyalty.

===Black Cathedral===
The Sabbat makes great use of religious fervor, and such, has a need for sacred places of worship. Small or nomadic groups create personal locations for pack Ignoblis, and the various dioceses may dedicate specific sites for larger Ritae. A Black Cathedral focuses magic like a prism, allowing priests to perform larger and more powerful Ritae. Black Cathedrals are permanent monuments to the strength and faith of the Sect. The Blood Bath to invest a Regent is a massive and unique rite, and can only be performed in a Black Cathedral. The raising of such a Cathedral is a rare and much-celebrated event. Three currently exist: one in Mexico City, one in Montreal, and one in Bucharest.

System: The actual effort to construct a Black Temple should require time and the effort of several characters to accomplish. It is a major event for the Sabbat when a Black Temple is raised. When completed and properly consecrated the priest performing this ritae spends 1 Permanent Willpower Trait to finish the ritae. For gameplay purposes, regain a point of temporary Willpower for every hour spent in this location, up to your permanent rating. Also, the Black Temple serves as a protection against enemies that may be threatening the character. No supernatural enemy of the Sabbat may set foot inside this sanctuary, though this does not mean mortal agents of the enemy in question could not be directed to do so.

===Embracing the Monster Within===
The Sabbat revels in the Beast and the power it holds. This ritae is used to unlock that very potential. The Sabbat priest must goad the Cainite before them to the razor edge of frenzy. They must push the Sabbat seeking the power if this ritae to rile up their beasts and yet control them. If the Sabbat member can control the coming frenzy and not fall to it; they grow in strength and power for a time.

System: This ritae lasts a scene or an hour. During that time the recipients of the Ritae gain the Physical Traits Brutal, Ferocious, and Vicious. However, you maintain this benefit the character must win a Self-Control/Instinct challenge at difficulty 4 each round of combat before the start of normal. If they fail, the effects of the ritae end.

===Faith in the Sword===
The Sword of Caine is fanatic cult dedicated to Gehenna. The priest performing this ritae for a member of the Sabbat must invoke the prophecies of the end time. They must express the purpose of the Sabbat itself and its coming victory in the Sabbat against the antediluvians. Those who listen to the priests words find themselves emboldened for a time and defy almost any odds against them.

System: This ritae lasts for one night. During that time, the character benefiting from this ritae may call upon it once a night to fully refresh their Mental or Social Traits they may have lost during the night. They may only call upon this attribute refresh once per night and may not have this ritae cast on them more than once per night.

===Dark Reliquiae===
This ritae was developed by members of the sabbat clergy on crafting and forging relics "holy" to the sabbat. For the priest to create such a Dark Relic they first need an object of renown and importance to the sword of Caine as a whole. Items once possessed by legendary members of the sabbat are often favored. some priests favor skulls and bones of fallen sabbat heroes whose names are written into the Litany of Blood. Regardless, only true Relics of the Sabbat will ever work for this ritae, anything short a d the ritae itself utterly fails. Once a proper item for the relic is found by the priest they must spend several nights in offerings of blood over the item as they recite the deeds of the Cainites in question. The priest also perform other ritae around the item and get other members of the sect to acknowledge the sects importance. once complete, however, The Dark Relic is finally forged for use by the sect as a whole or can even be used by the Sabbat Inquisition in the crafting of their Iron Reliquaries.

System: Each Dark reliquiae is a unique and "holy" item to the sabbat. They are not created often or are common things. the player must truly find an item appropriate to the ritae, just any normal item will not suffice and the ritae will fail. Regardless, the priest performing this ritae must spend 1 to 5 permanent willpower in the crafting of this Dark reliquiae. The traits spent then give the relic a rating equal to the permanent willpower traits spent. this Rating adds additional levels of "True Faith" to anyone with the merit Mark of Caine (Rites of the Blood page 41), to a Maximum of 5. Some examples of Relics and their ratings are below:

*Ring of Melinda Galbraith (Rating 4)
*Thurible of Venere Carboni (Rating 3)
*Cross of Moncada (Rating 3)
*Tome of Goratrix (Rating 4)
*Fangs of Gorchist (Rating 5
*Dagger of Marozia d’Oscura (Rating 5)
*Skull of a Crusader (Rating 2)
*Fingerbone of a Fallen Packmate (1)

The Creation of a Dark Reliquiae item must be approved by the Sabbat Coordinator

===Altar of Caine===
The ritea of the Sabbat was designed and crafted by particularly cruel members of Clan Tzimisce and the Toreador Antitribu. The Sabbat priest will capture several mortals and painfully crafts and alters them with the abilities of Vicissitude into an Altar of sorts. The priest will recite quotes from the book of nod as if they were holy prayers will crafting and creating this blasphemous altar. When completed the priest will dedicate their blood and some of their very being to the Altar. After which the Altar remains a terrifying if not potent “holy” artifact for members of the sabbat to drawn forth both passion and blood.

System: Crafting an Altar to Caine and performing this ritae costs the sabbat priest 1 permanent willpower. Once created, the Altar may store a number of willpower points in it up to the priests Rituals Background or Ability (not both). As long as any Sabbat member is within 10 feet of the Altar they may withdraw any number of blood traits or willpower traits that are stored in it up to the amount currently in the altar. Only those characters that are true Sabbat (i.e. Have the status Intiatied) may pray at the altar to draw out these temporary willpower traits. Once withdrawn, the priest with the Altar of Caine Ritae may replenish the lost Willpower traits from the Altar in one of two ways: Priests who use the Altar in Ritae can expend any number of Temporary Willpower from themselves to fill the Altar while engaged in Ritae. Or, use the Torture ability on another to cause willpower loss that will drain directly into the Altar from a victim laid upon the Altar.

===Rite of the Headhunter===
Collecting the skulls of their fallen vampire enemies is a tradition among the Sword of Caine. It is a mark of pride in battle and killing the enemies of Caine. These skulls are carefully taken care of, prepared and cared for by those who Headhunt. Some members of the Sabbat clergy even developed this ritae to help with the practice. A Skull from a fallen vampire enemy of the Sabbat is carefully prepared with this ritae and preserved. Enochian carvings are made in the skull and blood soaked into the bone. Any vampire who sees a member of the Sabbat who bears a Skull from this ritae adorned on them will instinctually feel terror and dread, that they might be next.

System: This ritae creates an item from the skull of a fallen enemy of the Sabbat vampire as a requirement. When the skull is worn by a member of the Sabbat in some manner (either as decorative jewelry, or some craft it into a mask), those vampires who enemies of the Sabbat who can see the Skull made with this ritae, are two traits down in all brawl or melee combat with the member of the Sabbat who wears this item. Those such affected by this, may spend 1 temporary willpower to be immune to this effect for one scene or an hour.

===Vestments of Vileness===
This unholy article of clothing is a priestly vestment with a Sabbat blessing and curse upon it. This ritae was crafted by the more necromantic members of the Sabbat that took the joy of rebellion against the Church one step further. A Sabbat priest with this ritae must stalk, hunt, and kill a high ranking member of the mortal clergy. After soaking the Priest’s garment in the blood of its victim, the Sabbat priest performs dark prayers to caine and removes the mortal clergy’s symbols form the robe and replaces them with symbols of the sabbat and books nod. There after the Vestment allows any who wear it some limited interaction with the dead, but comes with a terrible curse for any Sabbat member who might still have mortal feelings.

System: The performance of this ritae creates the Vestment of Vileness magic item from The white wolf Sabbat books. To create a Vestment of Vileness requires the priest to spend 1 permanent willpower to create one. Additionally, the suggested updated mechanics for the Vestment of Vileness are below (as the original is based on Second Edition Vampire, where Necromancy was not a blood Magic).To activate the powers of the Vestment of Vileness costs 1 willpower for the next scene or an hour. During that time the Sabbat priest can see into the shadowlands. They are able to see, hear, and speak to any wraiths during this time. Additionally, the Priest can spend 1 willpower point to give a command to a wraith he can see while this item is active. The mechanics for this command are the same as the dominate level Mesmerism but only works on wraiths. There is a curse on this robe, the curse dooms the owner to lose any loved one who touches the robe. Any character who wears a Vestment of Vileness permanently loses the Merit True love if they possess it, and if they do not, may never purchase it.

===Mark of Devotion===
Only the truly devout members of the Sabbat are recipients of this Ritae. When a Sabbat priest finds a member of the sword of caine whose faith to the Sabbat is unquestionable and their actions drive the Sabbat forward will they reward them with this ritae, creating a mark for all others to succeed. The Mark of Devotion itself is created from a mixture of blood and wax, stamped with the Ankh of the Sabbat. From it will hang on dried flesh of a mortal particular quotes from the book of nod that have great meaning to the recipient. Once the ritae is complete the weapons and armor worn by the warrior of the sabbat will share in some of the strength of the devotion from the one who bears such a mark.

System: The item crafted with this ritae must have its own item card. This item may be applied to any weapon or armor. If its applied to a weapon you may increase the damage or bonus traits (not both, you must choose) by 1. If it is applied to armor, the health levels of the armor are increased by 1. Weapons and armor may only benefit from one Mark of Devotion at a time. A sabbat priest may only have a number of Mark of Devotions created equal to their permanent willpower rating.

===Codex of The Dark Father===
Many Sabbat priests create their own tomes and books with passages from the book of nod, writings on the Ritae of the Sabbat, notes on the various Sabbat Path’s of enlightenment, and cataloging the history of the sect. As a result, some Sabbat priests developed this ritae as a means to pour their faith and devotion to the sabbat into their writings. The Codex of the Dark Father must be hand crafted by a Sabbat priest and written in blood. Those who hold such a faithful tome experience some of the faith and art that went into it’s crafting, thus empowering their own morale resolve in the Sword of Caine.

System: This ritae creates an item that a sabbat priest can then carry with them. When in possession of the Codex of the Dark Father the Sabbat priest can spend 1 temporary willpower to give himself or anyone within their line of sight a single retest on a Conscience/Conviction challenge they must make due to violating their morality or changing paths of enlightenment. This must be activated before the challenge is thrown.

==Invocations of Caine==
In the Dark Ages of the Vampire world many creatures practiced the Incantations of old. Through the insights and skills of Sabbat Rights they were able to adapt the old practices of Incantations to the faith of the Sabbat. As a result, this merit functions exactly like the Incantations merit but only the following may be purchased from it. New Invocations may be made in time, but take great skill to create and master (these require Storyteller approval). To maintain this merit the vampire must be a sabbat priest with a morality rating of 7 or higher. The Invocations of Caine Merit is just another name for the Incantation Merit (2pt Supernatural Merit). Your character learns a single Incantation. This Merit may be purchased during play several times, each for a new Incantation. This costs six experience points. Once the character learns an Incantation, he may use it by following this procedure:

*Ritual Requirements: Each Incantation can only be cast in a particular time, place, or both, such as at under the full moon or at a murderer’s grave. The Incantation also requires specific materials: certain herbs, say, or worms
boiled in a cauldron. Only then can the witch perform ritual acts to rouse the Incantation’s magic.

*Circle, Amulet, or Potion: The priest must decide whether the Invocation of Caine's power affects an area (circle), is bound to an object that can be moved (amulet), or is stored within an object that is later consumed (potion). Invocations of Caine possess one great limit compared to other forms of magic, in that they cannot truly affect distant targets unless an amulet or potion is brought to its location. Note that “circle,” “amulet,” and “potion” are examples and general names, and a length of red string that expends its magic when tied to someone might count as a “potion” for rules purposes. A circle need not be truly circular, but can define a space with no more than a 15 meter radius. An amulet is transferrable, and can be stolen from or secreted on a person.

*Willpower Expenditure and Roll: At the ritual’s conclusion, spend one point of the Priests Willpower and Make a Static Willpower challenge at difficulty 8. Only one success is required to bring about the Invocations of Caine's full effect. If the challenge fails, nothing happens, but the materials are no longer fit for the Invocations of Caine, and must be replaced if the priest wants to make another attempt.

*Invocations of Caine and Other Magic: Invocations of Caine cannot undo the effects of Path magic, Disciplines, and Awakened magic. They’re inferior to all of these, and these forms of magic can undo Incantations using their usual systems for countermagic, as if each Invocations of Caine were a one-dot power that scored one success.

*Duration: Unless stated otherwise any effects last a scene or an hour. Once used up the Invocation of Caine would have to be cast again.

*Approval: This Merit requires Sabbat Coordinator Approval

===Sample Invocations of Caine===

==Ritae==
===Gangs of New York===
New York was home to the third Sabbat Civil War and is infamously known for its covens fighting among each other for territory and resources in the city or political issues. To avoid another all out war in the city; the clergy of New York developed this ritae. Designed off the frame work of Monomacy; this ritae is performed under much the same rules and guidelines, but for entire packs rather than single Sabbat members. A Priest of the Sabbat (A Pack priest, Bishop or Higher) who is not involved in the conflict must perform this ritae. The start of which is brining all the packs involved in the conflict together for council to determine terms, weapons, place, and time. Such uses of ritae often result in a large bloody conflicts in the hidden parts of New York, but when the battle is done; the issue is resolved without need for further bloodshed.

System: This Ignoblis ritae functions almost identically to the Monomacy Ritae. However, rather than a one on one fight, this ritae allows for a Pack on Pack conflict. Indeed, even several packs may face off against other groups of packs under this ritae (as long the number of packs on both sides are the same.). Those who participate under this ritae can suffer Final Death legally in the Sabbat as the same a Monomacy. The victorious pack (or packs) gain the territory and possessions of the defeated packs (or packs). A member of the clergy uninvolved in the conflict must perform this ritae.

===Cry of the Damned===
Due to the dangers of the massive mortal population of New York; members of the cities clergy developed this ritae off the effects of the Palla Grande Ritae. The Sabbat priest burns brazers similar to those during the High Holiday to spread a fine pink reddish mist throughout and area. Mortals in that area will find their minds effected when vampires reveal themselves. The vast majority of which will react in fear or panic when the Masquerade is broken in front of them but will forget the event later. Only the strongest willed of mortals can act normally and fully remember the events of the Masquerade breech.

System: To perform this ritae the priest must burn the bones of a fallen sabbat member with the blood of a vampire in a brazer. As the reddish pink mist leaves the brazers it will fill an area. Any mortal in the area will react to any breaches of the Masquerade for the next scene or hour in the following ways depending on their willpower scores:

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Caption
|-
! Willpower Score !! Forget? !! Reaction
|-
| 1 || Yes || The human faints, or collapses in fear unable to recall anything of the events.
|-
| 2 || Yes || The human bolts, trying to put as much distance between himself and the vampires as possible. unable to recall anything of the events.
|-
| 3 || Yes || The human retreats to a corner to avoid the “hallucination” until it passes, but doesn’t collapse in fear
|-
| 4 || Yes || The human attacks, be it firing a gun (he won’t have enough presence of mind to reload, however), throwing crockery, or even leaping at the “monster
|-

|-
| 6 || Yes || The human will try to plead and bargain with the Vampire, doing anything possible so as not to get hurt
|-
| 7 || No, but will rationalize || Although terrified, he does not panic. The human will flee or fight as appropriate, but remains in control of his actions

|-
| 10 || No || The human is not the slightest bit afraid or bothered by the Vampire. Even Ghouls aren’t this stoic, so Vampires tend to be very suspicious of such folks
|}

===New York Fu*King City===
The Sabbat of New York, in particular the covens, are fanatical about their love for their city. Priests of New York have developed this ritae to bolster the convictions of the sect within New York in times of need or celebration. The priest gives a speech about both the Sabbat and New York city with fiery conviction. Additionally the priest hands out a special concoction of blood that is flammable. They ignite the blood and consume it as the end of the speech as it is in flames.

System: This ritae may only be performed for members of the Sabbat who call New York their home. Once performed, for the next scene or an hour, the vampire gains 2 attribute traits of their choice which must be chosen at the time of performing this ritae and may not be changed. These traits may go over generational maximums, but not passed max trait bid rules. Additionally this ritae may not be stacked. The priest performing this ritae must drink flaming blood. To do so the priest must either pass a Courage 5 challenge or spend 1 level of the fire eating ability to automatically succeed.

==Grand Synod Ritae==
The following Ritae were introduced at the Kings of New York Grand Synod event. Characters were allowed to learn these Ritae from the event itself, and are free to teach them to others. For a character who does not possess these Ritae, they must locate a character who does and is willing to teach them. Please keep this in mind, as a character may not simply have any of the below Ritae without a proper chain of instruction.

===Burial Rites===
Camarilla Propaganda supports that Sabbat is a mindless horde of vampire monsters who will take large groups of people, embrace them, and bury them alive. This is largely incorrect to how the Sabbat actually makes new members of the sect. However, in times of war the Sabbat will in fact mass embrace humans as a tactic. This ritual was created to support that practice. By burying the newly embraced mortal “alive” and forcing them to dig themselves up it strips away their humanity and makes them more likely to kill when needed. These new vampires are known as False Sabbat and still must earn their creation rites. Though those that do often have an easier time transitioning to the Sabbat’s paths of enlightenment.

System: Characters who embraced using the burial rites must through a Simple Challenge for each level of Humanity they have (this may reduce them to a minimum of 1 Humanity but not lower). On a loss, they permanently lose a level of Humanity. However, when and if the characters attempts to go onto a Path of Enlightenment; the character gains a free retest on challenged to transition to their new Morality. This retest only applies to a transition from Humanity onto a Path of Enlightenment.

===Red Wedding===
A hold over from an ancient Tzimisce tradition of vampiric political weddings, the Red wedding ritae is still practiced by some of the Sabbat who wish to either form a stronger bond among sect mates or even still for political reasons. The Ritae itself requires a mortal wedding. One of which the Sabbat invade. The gathered Cainites proceed to brutally murder and terrorize the mortal wedding and turning it into a blood affair. After which, the two cainites that wish to announce their bond to one another bath in the blood of the victims on the altar and solidify their “marriage”. This is by no means a actual marriage between vampires, it is a mockery of the mortal tradition perverted by the Sabbat to make a statement over mortal traditions and the Cainite blood is stronger then words.

System: Characters that have undergone a Red Wedding develop a special bond that lasts until the vampire reaches final death. When in the presence of the other character they have performed the Red Wedding with; the character is considered to have 1 additional temporary willpower trait that may go over generational maximums. If this trait is spent, is does not return for one month. This ritae does not stack with the Merits True Love or Loyalty.

===Black Cathedral===
The Sabbat makes great use of religious fervor, and such, has a need for sacred places of worship. Small or nomadic groups create personal locations for pack Ignoblis, and the various dioceses may dedicate specific sites for larger Ritae. A Black Cathedral focuses magic like a prism, allowing priests to perform larger and more powerful Ritae. Black Cathedrals are permanent monuments to the strength and faith of the Sect. The Blood Bath to invest a Regent is a massive and unique rite, and can only be performed in a Black Cathedral. The raising of such a Cathedral is a rare and much-celebrated event. Three currently exist: one in Mexico City, one in Montreal, and one in Bucharest.

System: The actual effort to construct a Black Temple should require time and the effort of several characters to accomplish. It is a major event for the Sabbat when a Black Temple is raised.

===Embracing the Monster Within===
The Sabbat revels in the Beast and the power it holds. This ritae is used to unlock that very potential. The Sabbat priest must goad the Cainite before them to the razor edge of frenzy. They must push the Sabbat seeking the power if this ritae to rile up their beasts and yet control them. If the Sabbat member can control the coming frenzy and not fall to it; they grow in strength and power for a time.

System: This ritae lasts a scene or an hour. During that time the recipients of the Ritae gain the Physical Traits Brutal, Ferocious, and Vicious. However, you maintain this benefit the character must win a Self-Control/Instinct challenge at difficulty 4 each round of combat before the start of normal. If they fail, the effects of the ritae end.

===Faith in the Sword===
The Sword of Caine is fanatic cult dedicated to Gehenna. The priest performing this ritae for a member of the Sabbat must invoke the prophecies of the end time. They must express the purpose of the Sabbat itself and its coming victory in the Sabbat against the antediluvians. Those who listen to the priests words find themselves emboldened for a time and defy almost any odds against them.

System: This ritae lasts for one night. During that time, the character benefiting from this ritae may call upon it once a night to fully refresh their Mental or Social Traits they may have lost during the night. They may only call upon this attribute refresh once per night and may not have this ritae cast on them more than once per night.

===Dark Reliquiae===
This ritae was developed by members of the sabbat clergy on crafting and forging relics "holy" to the sabbat. For the priest to create such a Dark Relic they first need an object of renown and importance to the sword of Caine as a whole. Items once possessed by legendary members of the sabbat are often favored. some priests favor skulls and bones of fallen sabbat heroes whose names are written into the Litany of Blood. Regardless, only true Relics of the Sabbat will ever work for this ritae, anything short a d the ritae itself utterly fails. Once a proper item for the relic is found by the priest they must spend several nights in offerings of blood over the item as they recite the deeds of the Cainites in question. The priest also perform other ritae around the item and get other members of the sect to acknowledge the sects importance. once complete, however, The Dark Relic is finally forged for use by the sect as a whole or can even be used by the Sabbat Inquisition in the crafting of their Iron Reliquaries.

System: Each Dark reliquiae is a unique and "holy" item to the sabbat. They are not created often or are common things. the player must truly find an item appropriate to the ritae, just any normal item will not suffice and the ritae will fail. Regardless, the priest performing this ritae must spend 1 to 5 permanent willpower in the crafting of this Dark reliquiae. The traits spent then give the relic a rating equal to the permanent willpower traits spent. this Rating adds additional levels of "True Faith" to anyone with the merit Mark of Caine (Rites of the Blood page 41), to a Maximum of 5. Some examples of Relics and their ratings are below:

*Ring of Melinda Galbraith (Rating 4)
*Thurible of Venere Carboni (Rating 3)

===Altar of Caine===
The ritea of the Sabbat was designed and crafted by particularly cruel members of Clan Tzimisce and the Toreador Antitribu. The Sabbat priest will capture several mortals and painfully crafts and alters them with the abilities of Vicissitude into an Altar of sorts. The priest will recite quotes from the book of nod as if they were holy prayers will crafting and creating this blasphemous altar. When completed the priest will dedicate their blood and some of their very being to the Altar. After which the Altar remains a terrifying if not potent “holy” artifact for members of the sabbat to drawn forth both passion and blood.

System: Crafting an Altar to Caine and performing this ritae costs the sabbat priest 1 permanent willpower. Once created, the Altar may store a number of willpower points in it up to the priests Rituals Background or Ability (not both). As long as any Sabbat member is within 10 feet of the Altar they may withdraw any number of blood traits or willpower traits that are stored in it up to the amount currently in the altar. Only those characters that are true Sabbat (i.e. Have the status Intiatied) may pray at the altar to draw out these temporary willpower traits. Once withdrawn, the priest with the Altar of Caine Ritae may replenish the lost Willpower traits from the Altar in one of two ways: Priests who use the Altar in Ritae can expend any number of Temporary Willpower from themselves to fill the Altar while engaged in Ritae. Or, use the Torture ability on another to cause willpower loss that will drain directly into the Altar from a victim laid upon the Altar.

===Rite of the Headhunter===
Collecting the skulls of their fallen vampire enemies is a tradition among the Sword of Caine. It is a mark of pride in battle and killing the enemies of Caine. These skulls are carefully taken care of, prepared and cared for by those who Headhunt. Some members of the Sabbat clergy even developed this ritae to help with the practice. A Skull from a fallen vampire enemy of the Sabbat is carefully prepared with this ritae and preserved. Enochian carvings are made in the skull and blood soaked into the bone. Any vampire who sees a member of the Sabbat who bears a Skull from this ritae adorned on them will instinctually feel terror and dread, that they might be next.

System: This ritae creates an item from the skull of a fallen enemy of the Sabbat vampire as a requirement. When the skull is worn by a member of the Sabbat in some manner (either as decorative jewelry, or some craft it into a mask), those vampires who enemies of the Sabbat who can see the Skull made with this ritae, are two traits down in all brawl or melee combat with the member of the Sabbat who wears this item. Those such affected by this, may spend 1 temporary willpower to be immune to this effect for one scene or an hour.

===Vestments of Vileness===
This unholy article of clothing is a priestly vestment with a Sabbat blessing and curse upon it. This ritae was crafted by the more necromantic members of the Sabbat that took the joy of rebellion against the Church one step further. A Sabbat priest with this ritae must stalk, hunt, and kill a high ranking member of the mortal clergy. After soaking the Priest’s garment in the blood of its victim, the Sabbat priest performs dark prayers to caine and removes the mortal clergy’s symbols form the robe and replaces them with symbols of the sabbat and books nod. There after the Vestment allows any who wear it some limited interaction with the dead, but comes with a terrible curse for any Sabbat member who might still have mortal feelings.

System: The performance of this ritae creates the Vestment of Vileness magic item from The white wolf Sabbat books. To create a Vestment of Vileness requires the priest to spend 1 permanent willpower to create one. Additionally, the suggested updated mechanics for the Vestment of Vileness are below (as the original is based on Second Edition Vampire, where Necromancy was not a blood Magic).To activate the powers of the Vestment of Vileness costs 1 willpower for the next scene or an hour. During that time the Sabbat priest can see into the shadowlands. They are able to see, hear, and speak to any wraiths during this time. Additionally, the Priest can spend 1 willpower point to give a command to a wraith he can see while this item is active. The mechanics for this command are the same as the dominate level Mesmerism but only works on wraiths. There is a curse on this robe, the curse dooms the owner to lose any loved one who touches the robe. Any character who wears a Vestment of Vileness permanently loses the Merit True love if they possess it, and if they do not, may never purchase it.

===Mark of Devotion===
Only the truly devout members of the Sabbat are recipients of this Ritae. When a Sabbat priest finds a member of the sword of caine whose faith to the Sabbat is unquestionable and their actions drive the Sabbat forward will they reward them with this ritae, creating a mark for all others to succeed. The Mark of Devotion itself is created from a mixture of blood and wax, stamped with the Ankh of the Sabbat. From it will hang on dried flesh of a mortal particular quotes from the book of nod that have great meaning to the recipient. Once the ritae is complete the weapons and armor worn by the warrior of the sabbat will share in some of the strength of the devotion from the one who bears such a mark.

System: The item crafted with this ritae must have its own item card. This item may be applied to any weapon or armor. If its applied to a weapon you may increase the damage or bonus traits (not both, you must choose) by 1. If it is applied to armor, the health levels of the armor are increased by 1. Weapons and armor may only benefit from one Mark of Devotion at a time. A sabbat priest may only have a number of Mark of Devotions created equal to their permanent willpower rating.

===Codex of The Dark Father===
Many Sabbat priests create their own tomes and books with passages from the book of nod, writings on the Ritae of the Sabbat, notes on the various Sabbat Path’s of enlightenment, and cataloging the history of the sect. As a result, some Sabbat priests developed this ritae as a means to pour their faith and devotion to the sabbat into their writings. The Codex of the Dark Father must be hand crafted by a Sabbat priest and written in blood. Those who hold such a faithful tome experience some of the faith and art that went into it’s crafting, thus empowering their own morale resolve in the Sword of Caine.

System: This ritae creates an item that a sabbat priest can then carry with them. When in possession of the Codex of the Dark Father the Sabbat priest can spend 1 temporary willpower to give himself or anyone within their line of sight a single retest on a Conscience/Conviction challenge they must make due to violating their morality or changing paths of enlightenment. This must be activated before the challenge is thrown.
