Tzimisce

Nickname: Fiends The Tzimisce clan is renowned for its evil. Tzimisces have a strong appreciation for learning. They are some of the most educated beings on earth. They seek to understand magic as well as science, but have not reached the level of the Tremere in this understanding. While they are inhuman, they show it to a lesser extent than do the Toreador antitribu, for instance. Most Tzimisces are grim and serious, noted for their lack of a sense of humor (or a twisted one, at best). They are also known for the high value they place on priv acy. The Tzimisce is the second most powerful and numerous clan of the Sabbat. The Lasombra hold the top position in both categories. However, the Tzimisce is a driving force behind Sabbat ideology, goals and planning. The Tzimisce clan appears happy to let the Lasombra take the lead in carrying out sect plans. With public awareness of Cainite interference in mortal politics, the Tzimisce have taken to calling again on the services of the Zanatos and Grimaldi ghoul families who have throughout it all maintained their mortal and vampiric ties. Sect: Sabbat Disciplines: Animalism, Auspex, Vicissitude Weakness: Tzimisce must sleep surrounded by two handfuls of dirt from a land important to them. If they fail to do this, they cannot rest in peace and lose half their Dice Pools from all actions for every 24 hours until down to one die; this state continues until they rest amid their special soil once again.
