Technica

Technica is the Discipline which allows Kindred to manipulate technology from the World of Future Darkness alternate setting. It's similar to the Thaumaturgic Path of Technomancy.

Overview

Technica was developed in tandem with the Cyberpunks bloodline, and is still relatively new. With this Discipline, Kindred can "speak" with and even understand machines.
