Does V5 just hate Vicissitude? Is that it?
Gehenna War now has Bloodform, so that's three Vicissitude disciplines! Except, just looking at the experience costs…
Fleshcrafting: Originally, ranges from Vicissitude 1-3 (Vic 1, Malleable Visage, allows the user to shape themselves, Vic 2, the OG Fleshcrafting, allows you to shape the muscle, fat, and cartilage of others, Vic 3, Bone Craft, lets you alter… bone). Given the low levels, entirely possible to have it straight out the gate.
V5, amalgam of Protean 2 and Dominate 2 for Vicissitude to shape yourself, giving a cost of 4 and definitely not a starter discipline to say nothing of how stupid 'it uses Dominate because you're bossing your body around!' is, and Protean 3 and Dominate 2 (cost of 5) for Fleshcrafting, to craft others. Instead of… 2.
Zulo Form: Originally, Vicissitude 4.
V5, amalgam of Protean 4, Dominate 2. Cost of 6.
Bloodform: Originally, Vicissitude 5. Nicely parallels with Protean 5, Mist Form.
V5, amalgam of Protean 5, Blood Sorcery 2. Cost of 7, of which two are at out-of-clan cost. Which, okay, you're turning yourself into liquid. Except the Protean equivalent, Mist Form, is still only Protean 5! Why does the Vicissitude version take another two discipline levels, and of an out-of-clan discipline to boot?
Yes, V5, fine, we get it, you don't like Tzimisce and Vicissitude!
