Fortitude


Endurance
While most Kindred still suffer the fatigue and pain of their injuries, you shrug off such hardships. Even the searing injuries of fire and sunlight can barely slow you.
Thus, the types of injuries that you would receive from attacks are greatly reduced once inflicted. For example, if your attacker sliced at you with his/her sword in a severe manner, the damage would, usually, be a severe and deep wound. With the discipline activated, your damage would be reduced to that of a small slice or gash in your skin.

Mettle
Wounds that would slow other Vampires means nothing to you. You can shrug off damage from most sources, ignoring pain and damage alike. Your body resists harm with incredible strength. Simply means that any damage inflicted upon you still hits, but the impact of the damage is greatly reduced.

Resilience
Even the banes of most Vampires, fire and sunlight, rarely injure you. You can endure punishment that would reduce other Vampires to ashes...although only for a brief time.

This discipline will only help on two separate instances only:
1. If you are about to enter sunlight
2. Set aflame

You can invoke Resilience to withstand the deadly effects of the sun and fire. The "preventative effects" against the sun and fire only last for a short time.

Personal Armor
Nobody like to get hit (or shot, or stabbed for that matter), not even Cainites. The easiest way to ensure that one is not hit (or shot, or stabbed) repeatedly is to take the weapon with which one is assaulted away from one's attacker and break it. That's where Personal Armor comes in. This discipline causes anything that strikes the Kindred who employs Personal Armor to shatter on impact. The Vampire still takes the damage inflicted, regardless if the weapon shattered on impact or not. A hand-to-hand attack causes the attacker an equal amount of damage by the defender when Personal Armor comes into play.

Shared Strength
It's one thing to laugh off bullets, rather another to watch the ricochets mow down everyone around you. Many Kindred have wished, at one time or another, that they could lend their monstrous vitality to those around them Those few Vampires who have mastered the discipline of Shared Strength, can - if only for a short time. A Vampire can never bestow more levels of Fortitude than the caster him/herself possess on another.

Resistance
Your Vampiric Endurance far surpasses that of any mortal, or even other younger Cainites. You shrug off injury without noticeable effect. Blows that would stagger or kill a mortal barely scratch you.
