Vozhd

One of the most terrifying Tzimisce creations is a Vozhd, a gruesome conglomeration of bits and pieces of other ghouls transformed into a siege engine of flesh and bone. For Tzimisce, wars have been won or lost due to the presence of these monstrosities. You are a rarity among Fiends: one of the few able to create these creatures. To do so, you must start with one of your Retainers. As it becomes a Vozhd, it gains 3 bonus levels of Stock NPC rating in addition to its current levels. These bonus ratings do not affect the XP cost to further increase the Retainer’s level. You may then give it one Animal Retainer trait. It also gains 2 Physical attribute focuses: an exception to the rule preventing Stock NPCs from having Physical attribute focuses. Lastly, it grows one size category for every 3 levels of NPC rating it possesses, up to a maximum of Delta. This merit can be combined with other merits or disciplines for ghouls, but you can only make one Vozhd every six game sessions or three months, whichever is shorter, due to the difficulty of gathering components and growing specimens. Creating a Vozhd requires you to expend 1 downtime action per level of the Retainer at the time of its transformation.
