However, newcomers might want to stick with something more thematic. 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.

More advanced players can play around with Blood Sorcery with more efficiency. Unfortunately, while playing a Blood Sorcerer has its appeal, new players might find Blood Sorcery's Vitae control and Rituals a bit too specific and complex.

In turn, Blood Sorcerers can use the power of Vitae itself to conjure mystical effects beyond comprehension - from manipulating its properties (change properties, boil) or access Rituals with various effects. Interestingly, V5's Blood Sorcery also has multiple branches unique to certain Clans, from Mortis (Cappadocian) to Abyss Mysticism (Lasombra). After all, unlike other Clans, Tremere of ages past used magic to 'transform' into Kindred - making them distrusted, fear, and amongst the most powerful in the Camarilla. Previously known as Thaumaturgy, V5's Blood Sorcery remains the hallmark Discipline of the mysterious Tremere.
