Brujah & Brujah Antitribu

• Advantage: As free-thinkers and rebels, Brujah have contacts in their field of revolution, be it gang warfare or socio-political theory. Camarilla Brujah gain one free Ability of either Politics, Academics or Streetwise and one free trait in the associated Influence of Political, University or Street. Sabbat Brujah Antitribu are not as organized as their Camarilla brothers, and thus aren't as influential in the city. Instead, Sabbat Brujah Antitribu may select any combination of two of the following Abilities: Politics, Academics, Brawl and Streetwise. A Brujah can call upon the help of his clanmates by issuing a Call-to-Arms. All Brujah in the given city respond with a fevered devotion that breaks down the division between even Sect. Brujah and Brujah Antitribu alike set aside their differences when a Call-to-Arms is received. Failing to respond causes the offender to lose standing within his or her Clan and he or she will be unable to gain the support of other Brujah in the future.
• Disadvantage: Brujah are easily prone to violence. All Brujah suffer a 1 Trait penalty to tests of Self-Control/Instinct to avoid frenzy. Brujah Antitribu of the Sabbat suffer the same penalty.

  Malkavian & Malkavian Antitribu

• Advantage: The Lunatics seem to be blessed with a special insight into the workings of the hidden world. Because of this insight, all Malkavians receive a free level of the Awareness Ability. Both Malkavian and Malkavian Antitribu may take the Insight Background as high as x5. All Lunatics seem to be able to recognize each other, by name, upon sight. Sometimes they are even able to pass along tidbits of information. This Malkavian Madness Network allows a Malkavian to communicate via a secret language. Sometimes this manifests itself as speech that is understood only by the Malkavians and sounds as gibberish to anyone else, other times it manifests as purely telepathic communication. Both Malkavian and Sabbat Malkavian Antitribu gain this Advantage.
• Disadvantage: All Malkavians are irrevocably insane. Camarilla Malkavians begin the game with one Derangement of the player's choice. Sabbat Malkavian Antitribu must begin with 2 Derangements. These Derangements may never be removed, but may be temporarily overcome with Willpower. Additionally, Sabbat Malkavian Antitribu may not spend a Willpower trait to control theirselves in a frenzy. They must ride it through to the end.

Nosferatu & Nosferatu Antitribu

• Advantage: All Nosferatu learn the ways of skulking and hiding, simply to avoid unwanted attention. Nosferatu and Nosferatu Antitribu characters alike receive one free level of both the Stealth and Survival Abilities.

Nosferatu may buy their first two levels of Sewer Lore without extensive research and exploration.
• Disadvantage: The curse of Caine manifests itself in the appearance of a Nosferatu. All Nosferatu must take the Negative Social Traits Repugnant x3 which may not be removed. Instead of Repugnant x3, you may choose to take 3 Negative Social traits from the Revised Clanbook: Nosferatu. Furthermore, no Nosferatu may possess the Social Traits Alluring, Elegant, Gorgeous, Magnetic or Seductive without calling upon the powers of Obfuscate. No Nosferatu may initiate a Social Challenge when their true visages are apparent, except challenges of intimidation. At the discretion of the player, a Nosteratu may choose to take any combination of 3 Nosferatu Negative Social Traits, which appear in the Revised Nosferatu Clanbook. These Traits are: Blighted, Blubbery, Charred, Dreadful, Engorged, Flaccid, Mangy, Nauseating, Oozing, Petrified, Putrefied, Pustulent, Reptilian, Repulsive, Rubbery, Scabrous, Scarred, Skanky and Withered

• Advantage: With their predilection for artistic skill, Toreador all have some sort of unique talent. Toreador receive two free Traits in which he or she may purchase extra levels of Academics, Crafts, Performance or Subterfuge. Camarilla Toreador start with one free level of the Herd Background. Sabbat Toreador do not. A Camarilla Toreador will receive a Harpy position before a member of another Clan will.
• Disadvantage: Toreador are easily entranced by beauty. Anytime a Toreador is presented with a work executed with the equivalency of 3 levels of either Crafts or Performance he or she enters a fugue state in which they are lost in the moment of beauty. Only by expending a Mental Trait can he or she break this bond, although certain situations may break this state as well, such as being attacked or elbowed by a neighbor. Sabbat Toreador Antitribu have come to be facinated with pain and discomfort, whether their own, or that of others. When confronted with a scene of pain, or the oppoertunity to do harm, Toreador Antitribu must indulge in the dark passion, or expend a Mental Trait not to. This may be as simple as a callous remark, or as grave as torture or murder.

Tremere

• Advantage: Because of their mystical training, all Tremere receive one free level of the Occult Ability and the Occult Influence. Tremere must undergo rigorous one-on-one training with their tutors. All Tremere receive on free level of Mentor reflecting their personal tutors. Tremere may take familiars as Retainers. The exact nature of the familiar is decided by the Storytellers.
• Disadvantage: Upon receiving the Embrace, all Tremere are required to drink the combine blood of their elders. Therefore, all Tremere are one step Blood Bound to their Clan elders. Tremere who fail in their duties or disobey their elders are forced to drink again. Those who fail to report to their superiors, or those who carry out their duties poorly can expect to be dealt with harshly. Those who do not pull their own weight may find themselves expendable.
• As of late summer '99, the Tremere Antitribu no longer exist. Summoned to his Chantry in Mexico City by Goratrix, founder of the Tremere Antitribu, the Bloodline, en masse, was mysteriously destroyed. Those that survived were branded as Infernalists, and summarilly executed by their own Sect, largly at the provocation of the Salubri Antitribu... but this is only one of many rumors that surround their mysterious disappearence.

  Ventrue & Ventrue Antitribu

• Advantage: Because of their keen financial acumen and savvy, Camarilla Ventrue begin the game with one free level of the Resources Background. Camarilla Ventrue may begin with one free level of the Finance, Etiquette or Politics Ability and the associated Influence of Finance, High Society or Political.

Lasombra are know as natural leaders within the Sabbat. Lasombra will always receive a Position within a city before any other Clan (with the exception of the Tzimisce Clan Advantage).
• Disadvantage: Lasombra cast no reflection on mirrors or reflective surfaces (like water or windows), nor do they appear on photographic film or video cameras of any kind. A Lasombra’s lack of reflection always indicates him as such, which makes it very hard for one to infiltrate the Camarilla.

  Tzimisce

• Advantage: The fiends may begin the game with one free Trait of the Occult Ability and one free level of either Church or Occult Influence. Furthermore, a Tzimisce may purchase his or her first two levels of any Lore Ability without the need for extensive research. Tzimisce may take revenants as Retainers. The creation of the revenants will be handled by the Storytellers. If the player deems it appropriate to his or her character's concept, a Tzimisce may purchase the Discipline of Koldunic Sorcery at in-clan cost, however this will only be given to players the Storytellers feel are responsible role-players. Storytellers reserve the right to deny anyone this Discipline for various reasons. A Tzimisce will always get a position as Priscus or Pack Priest before a member of another Clan.
• Disadvantage: A Tzimisce must sleep in at least two handfuls of soil native to his or her homeland. Trait penalties are imposed as per the rules presented on page 45 of Laws of the Night Revised.

Storytellers reserve the right to deny anyone this Discipline for various reasons. Sabbat Assamite Antitribu automatically gain the Sabbat Status trait of Feared. They may also take either the Brawl or Melee Ability free of cost. Sabbat Assamites gain none of the other benefits listed above, as Sabbat Assamites can not and do not find nor enter the legendery Alamut.
• Disadvantage: As a result of their recent circumvention of the Tremere curse, independent Assamites now share the same drawback as their Sabbat cousins. All Assamites hunger for the vitae of the Kindred. Anytime an Independent or Sabbat Assamite tastes the blood of another Kindred, he or she must make a static Self-Control/Instincts check with a Difficulty of 4. If the test is failed, then the taste is not enough, and the Assamites seizes the Kindred and takes as much as he or she can in an attempt to commit Diablrie. Even if the Assamite wins the test, the hunger should be roleplayed to the best of the player's ability.

  Followers of Set

All Setites gain one free level of the Streetwise Ability and one free level of Political, Street or Underworld Influence.

• Advantage: All Gangrel receive one free level of both the Animal Ken and Survival Abilities. Gangrel are known to deal with Lupines from time to time. Gangrel characters may buy their first 2 levels of Lupine Lore without extensive research. While most vampires are uncomfortable outside of cities, Gangrel are hardy nomads. Constantly on the move, Gangrel rarely ever stay in one place for any amount of time. For this reason, few Princes of Camarilla cities require a Gangrel to present himself. Such idiocy would be a waste of time, as the Gangrel in question could up and leave without notice at any given moment.
• Disadvantage: The marks of the Beast are present on a Gangrel’s visage. Whenever a Gangrel frenzies, he or she gains on animal feature. These features take the form of Negative Social Traits. Each time a Gangrel frenzies, the character gains a new Negative Social Trait of Bestial, Feral or Repugnant.

Wraith retainers will be created by the Storytellers.

  Ravnos & Ravnos Antitribu

• Advantage: Independent Ravnos gain on free level of the Streetwise Ability and one free level of Street or Transportation Influence. A Ravnos is expected to be a chaotic whirlwind of deception. Ravnos are less likely to receive Negative Status for their actions. Once per game session, a Ravnos may ignore the rewarding of Negative Status to him, or the use of Positive Status against him. One or the other, not both.  No Prince would risk bringing down the wrath of the entire Clan by refusing a Ravnos acknowledgment. Sabbat Ravnos Antitribu may take one level of the Contacts or Street Influence Background. Their nomadic senses instill in them a keen sense of how to survive in less than ideal situations. Sabbat Ravnos may take an additional Stealth or Survival Ability free of cost.
• Disadvantage: All Ravnos suffer from a weakness to their favored games and scams. Each Ravnos has a “signature crime” and once per session he must attempt to indulge in this act, Unless a Self-Control/Instinct test (Difficulty 3) can be made.

Many of the Bloodline's members are necromancers par excellence, however this will only be given to players the Storytellers feel are responsible role-players. As usual, Storytellers reserve the right to deny anyone this Discipline for various reasons.
