Coherence of the Undernet

The belief that a rational and logical mind can be the ultimate force in shaping reality is the core of Coherence. It is ironic, then, that the use of this Discipline drives many kindred quietly insane. Each time a character learns a level of Coherence, you must win a simple test, or gain one of the following Derangements: Amnesia, Intellectualization, Perfection, Power Madness or Regression. This test must be performed for each level chosen at character creation.

Basic Psychic Constitution
Character may expend any of stamina-related Physical Traits to gain the Mental Traits Disciplined, Determined or Dedicated on a one-for-one basis. Although the Physical Trait is expended for the remainder of the session, the Mental Trait only lasts for one scene. This Discipline cannot be activated in the middle of a Challenge.

Basic Rationality
When the player spends one Willpower Trait, target character becomes immune to The Beast Within and Song of Serenity. This effect lasts ten minutes, but may be extended for ten additional minutes for each Mental Trait the affected character chooses to spend.

Intermediate Wall of Thought
Now the character has achieved such a level of intellectual control that they can resist the powers of Dominate. All tests are two bids down against you, and you cannot be Dominated by those of equal generation.

Intermediate Mind Over Body
You are always three bids up when resisting, or making any challenge to exit frenzy.

Advanced Heartlessness
Your mental control has become phenomenal, and with a little effort, you can manipulate the very patterns which society and culture are built on. You may now expend a Mental Trait to retest any Social Challenge. Like using an Ability, the original Social Traits bid and the Mental Trait are lost for the remainder of the session, regardless of the outcome of the Challenge.
