Cockscomb Society

Parent Clan: Ventrue
Disciplines: Majesty, Nightmare, Obfuscate, Vigor
==Bloodline Weakness: Deviants==
Gaining Willpower is all-or-nothing for the Gents and Gals. They are only satisfied when they go to the extremes, only regaining Willpower from fulfilling the “All Willpower” condition of their Mask or Dirge.
Gents and Gals also have the option of replacing one of their Mask or Dirge with Deviant. This is the only Mask/Dirge that they gain Willpower normally from. 
==Bloodline Gift: Social Lubrication==
Cockscomb Gents and Gals can take one instance of the Hobbyist Clique (••) Merit for free, for their choice of Politics, Socialize or Persuasion. 
==Merits==
===Blood Vaults •===
Add their Resource dots to the size of their Blood Bank. Their Blood Bank can store a number of Vitae equal to their Safe Place + Resources. 
===Sweet Indiscretion ••===
When a Gent uses a social roll with the intention of applying the Leveraged Condition, he may use his dice in Herd as bonus.
The Gent must use his Herd as leverage during the conversation. Maybe he promises a supply of blood in a time of need. Maybe he blackmails the target Kindred with information revealed to one of his blood dolls. The exact social exchange depends on the context and the predilections of the individuals involved.
==Devotions:==
===Hangover===
Majesty • 1XP
Dice Pool: – 
Action: Reflexive, activated with a Majesty power or a social roll.
This is a simple skill that delays someone's Breaking Point roll to after the end of the scene. The Gent or Gal can keep this power active as long as they are in the company of the target character. When they part, however, all of the Breaking Point rolls hit the target character at once, and she suffers a cumulative -1 for each Breaking Point roll after the first. 
===Lust and Disgust===
Majesty • Nightmare •• 2XP
Dice Pool: – 
Action: Reflexive 
Subjects affected by any of the Gent's Nightmare powers are also left with the Swooning Condition. The Cockscomb embodies a seductively taboo charm, of which characters might find themselves drawn to, even though they know it is gross and wrong. This Condition is resolved as normal, and expires after a number of days equal to the Majesty rating of the Cockscomb Society member. 
===Snowball===
Majesty •• 1XP
Dice Pool: – 
Action: Reflexive
The target takes -1 to Composure based rolls for every currently active Condition on their sheet caused by the Nosferatu. This is in addition to any bonuses and penalties applied by those Conditions. A target character who agrees to go out carousing with the Cockscomb Gent may find her night spiralling out of control.
