Vampire: the Masquerade - Tzimisce and Vicissitude - V5 vs V20 (a reply to Warforged)

In this episode I'm taking a look at what it means that V5 turned the signature discipline of the Tzimisce into an amalgam of Protean/Dominate, as opposed to having it as an actual discipline, in order to answer a question posed by Warforged. The question is:

How do I feel about the fact that Vicissitude has been turned into an amalgam and do I think it cool that other Clans might have access to the Zulo shape?

To skip straight to the answer without listening to my ramblings, go to 14:45

The books I've used and referenced for the making of this episode can be found here:

I sincerely hope my opinion doesn't discourage anyone who is interested in V5 from reading the books, playing the game, and (hopefully) having a blast, telling memorable stories.
Enjoy!
