Chalice of Caine

This chalice is rumored to be the cup Caine used when embracing his two childer. A small amount of Caine's blood soaked into the metal, imbuing it with abilities that can benefit both mortals and vampires alike.

The chalice is capable of changing a mortal into a kindred, if them consume blood from it. The blood may be theirs, or from some other human. The clan the mortal becomes is random, however, they do not receive that clan's weakness.

The chalice is also capable of empowering the blood of a vampire either temporarily or permanently. The vampire may attempt to empower their blood permanently safely once, every attempt afterword increases the chances of becoming disabled or destroyed.

System: When a mortal wishes to become a vampire, the player rolls 10 dice then subtracts the number of successes from 13 to determine their generation; a botch results in the character becoming 14^th generation. When a vampire wishes to increase the power of their blood temporarily the player expends 1 blood and rolls 10 dice, subtracting the number of successes from their generation to a maximum 5^th generation; a botch means nothing happens and they may not use the chalice for one full night. To decrease their generation permanently a player expends 1 blood, then rolls 10 dice and subtracts the number of successes from 13. If the resulting number is less than their current generation, the vampire may decrease their generation to resulting number. For the second try and every try after the vampire permanently decreases their blood pool by 2 if the result of the roll is more than their current generation. A botch means that the vampire may not use the chalice ever again to permanently decrease their generation.
