Disciplines are vampiric powers and capabilities that have often given rise to old wives' tales of superhuman speed, strength and endurance possessed by the Damned, along with their piercing gaze, their hypnotic and seductive voices and the unholy power to vanish into shadows and shapeshift into bats, wolves and mist. (VTR: Vampire: The Requiem Rulebook Image:Bullet-nip.png, p 114) Powers that combine aspects of two or more Disciplines are called Devotions.
