Learn TimesJust as Disciplines can take a great deal of time to learn, so to do

Abilities & Lores. Below are the Learning Times forraising Abilities & Lores.

Note: You may notice that it is a lot easier to learn Abilities than it is Lores. Thereasoning behind this is Lores are

considered highly specialized information, and as such the research necessary togo from one level of the Lore to the

next progressively gets harder.

The Following Rules have been taken from the Dark Epics rulebook but are listed here to help those who may

not have that sourcebook considering much of its content is directed to those that run a LARP rather thanthose who participate in one.

Teaching Disciplines: (As per "Dark Epics" rulebook page 75) All teachers must be active characters, and theymay teach up to one level less than they posses of their in-clan Disciplines. For example, a vampire who possesses anintermediate level of his clan Discipline may teach basic levels. To Teach Advanced Necromancy or Thaumaturgy, theteacher must be a sixth or seventh generation vampire, and he must have the advanced level in at least two paths ofthe Discipline. A character who possesses the Advanced level in two paths may teach the advanced level in bothpaths, provided they are of the appropriate generation.

Noticing Powers in Effect: (As per "Dark Epics" rulebook page 72) When a power is used unsuccessfully upon acharacter, that character can initiate a Static Mental Challenge to detect its use. (The difficulty equals the Mental Traitsof the character using the power.) The Awareness Ability may be used to retest this challenge. If the Original character

wins the Static Challenge, he might also recognize the power and/or who used it on him (At the Narrator's discretion).Some powers are also obvious in their effect/target/source and the narrator may rule that any of the pertinentinformation is available without testing.
