Protean is a Discipline that gives the vampire the ability to adapt better to the natural world. It is strongly rooted in the idea of bringing the Beast out. The Gangrel developed this discipline as way of expanding their dominance of the natural world. It provides them with abilities to hunt and sleep in the wild, reducing their dependence on cities and other Cainites.
Standard Abilities
• Eyes of the Beast : Allows the vampire to see normally in complete darkness.
•• Feral Claws : Allows the vampire to grow powerful claws that tear through flesh and most metals, dealing Aggravated damage.
••• Earth Meld : Allows the vampire to be absorbed by the earth, wherein he or she can rest undistrubed until the next night.
•••• Shape of the Beast : Allows the vampire to transform him/herself into one of two animal forms, typically a bat and a wolf.
