Members of The Ministry have access to a unique version of Protean to their fellow kindred. Dubbed Serpentis by it's practitioners, it allows members of The Church of Set to emulate the ophic qualities of mythic reptiles; to weaponise snake-like fangs, reptilian talons, and perturbing eyes. In practise, it isn't too divergent in powers to it's Protean counterpart. Yet, it can grand a Minister with the ability to rend flesh with venomous class, or harder their skin into dragon-like scales. As disturbing and inhumane to the onlooker as their cultic practises can be to the faithful, it is a gift that allows them to embody the tempting and subversive nature that The Ministry Proselytises, in physical form.

[ System: Much as with Feral Weapons, possession of this disicipline means that characters can adorn themselves with relevant body modifications to enhance their actions with the modified parts.

 

For example, someone choosing to have scaled skin may be more resistant to taking damage from the taloned hands of a gangrel, and their venomous bite might deal excruciating pain to a mortal, or indeed other Vampire.

 

As with all physical interactions at our event, the players should drop Out of character to negotiate the outcome, as well as physical boundaries, to ensure that no one gets hurt. Fighting in this manner is akin to stage fighting, and all involved should have discussed the outcome before it happens, even briefly.]
