The rarest type of Demonkin are those that are not attached to any supernatural group. Within some supernatural groups the gained acceptance. The most common Demonkin are found among the vampiric social groups: (Anarch, Camarilla or Sabbat). This document is for playing in those games that don't involve one of these families of demonkin.

Demonkin possess an additional virtue called passion. Passion begins at zero and rises and falls during game play anytime the demons passions are stretched. (Things like strong sexual desire, and anger raise passion. Quiet and rest lowers passion.)

Demonkin may possess vampiric disciplines (Except blood thaumaturgy and Mythceria), any primary path of Thaumaturgy (except blood Thaumaturgy) and gain 3 beginning dots that they can place into these. Demonkin may also be psychics but must pay freebie points for psychic gifts (must purchase merit to be psychic).

All Vampiric Disciplines are purchased as if it was a clan Discipline. However, Demonkin cannot learn a discipline over 5 dots. Free Demonkin tend to be very limited in the types of disciplines they develop (primarily physical).
