Pantherium

[1] Tread of the Feline

With this power, the vampire can move in complete silence, no matter how fast she is moving. In addition the Panathera leaves no trace as to her passage. The Alleycat could walk through three inches of dried leaves and not make a sound, or run across a dusty floor and not leave a mark.

System: This ability is constant and automatic. Anyone with Heightened Senses can attempt to hear the Panathera's footfalls with an unmodified Perception roll (difficulty of the vampire's Dexterity + Stealth). With three or fewer successes, the Panathera's passage remains undetected; four successes, and the listener hears a very faint movement, like wind through trees – but not enough noise to follow a direction with; and five successes, reveals the Panathera's footfalls, though any attempts to track the Panathera by sound require a similar check each turn.

[2] Claws of the Cat

Much like Protean level 2, this allows the Panathera to grow a set of claws from her fingertips. Unlike the Gangrel�s discipline, the claws do not need to be dissolved to be unnoticeable. The Panathera�s claws are retractable, thus reducing the need to keep spending blood points to regrow claws, hey simply fold back into the first section of the Panathera�s fingertip. Wounds caused by the Panathera�s claws are aggravated and cannot be healed through the use of Blood Points.

System: No roll is needed to grow the claws, however, one blood point must be spent. Also, as long as the claws are retracted the Panathera gains a +2 to all difficulties involving manual dexterity. Including, but not limited to, Firearms, melee weapons, driving, etc.

[3] Song of the Cat

With this level of Pentaris, the Panathera summons the beast within to create an ear-shattering roar. This does two things, first it shatters the eardrums of all within a set range, and second, it causes fear, much like the Presence level 2, Dread Gaze.

System: The Panathera rolls Manipulation + Intimidation (difficulty is equal to the �casters� humanity less 2 but can be no lower than 4). Each success indicates an additional 10 feet to the radius of the call. All humans within the area are temporarily deafened (number of turns equals successes on Panathera�s roll). All animals in the area immediately flee. All kindred in the area must make a Stamina + Fortitude (difficulty of 5 plus the number of success on the Panathera�s roll) or take 1 health level of aggravated damage and become stunned until it is healed. The second part of this level�s ability, works like Dread Gaze. Each success causes the victim to flee that much faster.

[4] Gift of Sekmeht

Again, like the analogue Protean level, this allows the Panathera to take the form of a large cat. Only one cat may be selected and must be declared when the Panathera reaches this level. The Panathera gains all the benefits and drawbacks of a feline form.

System: No roll is needed to change form, however, one blood points must be spent in order to shift. Three turns are needed to complete the transformation (though the Storyteller may allow it in one turn with the expenditure of three Blood Points).

[5] Fury of Bast

In this form the Panathera resembles a Crinos Bastet, only much larger. She looses all social attributes when dealing with humans, half when dealing with kindred (round down). Her physical attributes are all doubled, and she gains a +2 bonus on all rolls involving Perception.

System: To take this form the Panathera must spend three blood points. The change takes three turns no matter what Generation the Panathera happens to be. Also if the Panathera is rendered unconscious, she will revert to her natural state.

[6] Fury of the Great Kings

The Panathera, with the expenditure of one blood point can instantly grow three foot long razor sharp blades from her fingers. Like Claws of the Cat, these blades inflict aggravated damage. However, once these blades are grown, the Panathera cannot hide them, as they are now carrying ten swords strapped to their fingers.

System: No roll is needed to grow the claws. Once the blood point is spent the claws leap out of the Panathera�s fingers. These blades do Strength + 4 points of aggravated damage. The roll for attacks is Dexterity + Melee + 2 (difficulty 7).

[6] Call of the Pride

At this level the Panathera can summon others of her clan in the surrounding area. Once summoned, if applicable, newcomers must face the reckoning, but all facing the reckoning under the summons gain a -2 difficulty on all rolls.

System: The Panathera invokes the Song of the Cat, this time using her Charisma + Survival (difficulty 6). The roar is the same, and has all the normal effects. In addition, a number of Panathera (consult the chart below) arrive as quickly as possible to aid the caller.

1 success: All Panathera within 1 block / .5 miles

2 successes: All Panathera within 2 blocks / 1 miles

3 successes: All Panathera within 5 blocks / 5 miles

4 successes All Panathera within .5 miles / 7 miles

5 successes: All Panathera within 1 mile / 10 miles

[7] Feline Shadow Walk

At this level the Panathera can literally step into the shadows and come out somewhere else. This functions as a form of teleportation. The Panathera can Shadow Walk to anywhere she has been before without error. There are no limits on distance and the transportation is instantaneous.

System: The Panathera must declare where she intends to arrive before activating this ability. Once activated she must spend one point of Willpower to actually step through the shadow. To take someone with her, the Panathera must spend an extra point of willpower for each individual she attempts to take. Also she must make a Wits + Stealth roll (difficulty 6). The number of success on the roll equal the number of �passengers� the Panathera may take through the shadows. If the roll is failed, the Panathera teleports, but the passenger doesn�t. If the roll is botched, the passenger is caught �between here and there, and the Panathera had better know a friendly Lasombra if she wants to get the passenger out.
