Tremere Code

I, [initiate's name], hereby swear my everlasting loyalty to House and Clan Tremere and all its
members. I am of their blood, and they are of mine. We share our lives, our goals and our
achievements. I shall obey those the House sees fit to name my superiors, and treat my inferiors
with all the respect and care they earn for themselves.

I will not deprive nor attempt to deprive any member of House and Clan Tremere of his magical
power. To do so would be to act against the strength of our House. I will not slay nor attempt to slay
any member of the House and Clan except in self-defense, or when a magus has been ruled outlaw
by a properly constituted tribunal. If a magus has been ruled an outlaw, I shall bend all efforts to
bring such magus to justice.

I will abide by all decisions of the tribunals, and respectfully honor the wishes of the Inner Council of
Seven and the wishes of my superiors. The tribunals shall be bound by the spirit of the Code of
Tremere, as supplemented by the Peripheral Code and interpreted by a properly constituted body of
magi. I have the right to appeal a decision to a higher tribunal, if they should agree to hear my case.

I will not endanger House and Clan Tremere through my actions. Nor will I interfere with the affairs
of mundanes in any way that brings ruin upon my House and Clan. I will not, when dealing with
devils, or others, in any way bring danger to the clan, nor will I disturb the faeries in any way that
should cause them to take their vengeance on the House and Clan. I also swear to uphold the
values and goals of the Camarilla, and I will maintain the Masquerade. Insofar as these goals may
conflict with my goals, I will not pursue my own ends in any way that would endanger the
Masquerade. The strength of the House and Clan Tremere depends on the strength of the
Masquerade.

I will not use magic to scry upon members of the House and Clan Tremere, nor shall I use it to peer
into their affairs. It is expressly forbidden.

I will train only apprentices who will swear to this code, and should any of them turn against the
House and Clan, I shall be the first to strike them down and bring them to justice. No apprentice of
mine shall be called magus until he first swears to uphold the code. I shall treat my apprentices with
the care and respect that they earn.

I concede to my elders the right to take my apprentice should it be found that my apprentice is
valuable to an elder's work. All are members of the House and Clan and valuable first to these
precepts. I shall abide by the right of my superiors to make such decisions.

I shall further the knowledge of the House and Clan and share with its members all that I find in my
search for wisdom and power. No secrets are to be kept, or given, regarding the arts of magic, nor
shall I keep secret the doings of others which might bring harm to the House and Clan.

I demand that, should I break this oath, I should be cast out of the House and Clan. If I am cast out,
I ask my brothers to find and slay me that my life may not continue in degradation and infamy.

I recognize that the enemies of the House and Clan are my enemies, that the friends of the House
and Clan are my friends, and that the allies of the House and Clan are my allies. Let us work as one
and grow hale and strong.

I hereby swear this oath on [current date]. Woe to they who try to tempt me to break this oath, and
woe to me if I succumb to such temptation.

Disciplines
Auspex
Spend 1 Vitae:
1. Heightened Senses: The vampire adds their Auspex rating to their Alertness for one scene.
This does not interfere with Blood Boost and can rise above generational maximums.
2. Spirit's Touch: The vampire can sense the emotional residue by touching: an inanimate
object from when it was used; or the ground of their present location from past visitors.
3. Aura perception: For one scene the vampire can perceive Auras (and if their auspex is
higher obfuscated vampires).
4. Telepathic Communication: Mentally speak with someone you know, even if they are a
great distance away.
5. Psychic Projection: Project your soul into the Near or Dark Umbra starting at your current
location. Your body remains in a torpid state while you do so and is connected to you like a
fetter. While there Sense the Unseen allows you to peek into the Skinlands.

Dominate (mental action)

Spend 1 Vitae:
1. Compel: The vampire can issue a short sentence command to the target.
2. Forgetful Mind: Unsubtly erase entire periods of a target's memory.
3. Mesmerize: The vampire can issue a longer, more complicated command to the target.
4. Submerged Directive: The vampire can embed delayed or triggered commands.
5. Command the Masses: (permanent) The vampire no longer requires eye contact for
Dominate and may affect multiple targets at the same time at the cost of 1 Vitae per target.
