The Companion supplement is compatible with Vampire: The Masquerade’s fifth edition - also known as V5 - and will include gameplay rules for each of the new clans’ discipline powers, as well as details on their place in the setting’s lore. Finally, the Salubri are a small group of vampires seeking redemption from their cursed existence identifiable by a third eye that weeps blood, they can heal the physical, mental and spiritual ills suffered by others. The Ravnos, meanwhile, are trickster bloodsuckers who can create hallucinations and illusions to distract, deceive or manipulate targets.
The Tzimisce are described as being a clan focused on control and possession, with the ability to reshape their own body - or those of others - to shapeshift, much like Count Dracula’s own power to take the form of a bat or wolf. Vampire: The Masquerade Companion will be available as a free PDF, containing information on three additional vampire clans - the Tzimisce, Ravnos and Salubri - their unique powers, extra merits for players to use when creating characters and rules for including ghouls and mortals in sessions. Vampire: The Masquerade is expanding with the release of a new companion supplement in December that brings new playable clans, character abilities and rules to the horror RPG.
