Vigor is a Discipline that temporarily enhances a kindred's physical strength. All vampires possess the inherent ability to suffuse their bodies with Vitae and gain additional dice on Physcial instant action rolls but Vigor allows for a longer buff. Also, unlike simple augmentation, Vigor can surpass the Strength limit imposed by Blood Potency, enabling the vampire to achieve superhuman levels of strength.

For the cost of a single Vitae Vigor increases strength for an entire scene. The more ranks a Kindred possesses in Vigor, the most strength they can gain. A fairly strong Kindred with a few ranks in Vigor can lift kitchen applicances. Older, stronger Kindred can lift and throw objects which weight more than half a ton.

Vigor can be used to enhance a character's leaping ability. In gaming terms, a Kindred's Vigor ranks are added to her feet traveled per success. Elders with high ranks in Vigor can make leaps that resemble flight.

Seemingly suited for combat, Vigor is also handy for story functions. A character with Vigor might be able to go through a door, or even a wall, should they become trapped. And if you can push a one ton boulder infront of the door to your Haven, that's pretty secure.

One of the three "physcial" Disciplines, Vigor is practiced by the Daeva and Nosferatu clans as Clan Disciplines.
