# Disciplines & powers

While **Inconnu** is not a reference tool, it can nonetheless track your character's Discipline ratings and known powers. There's no requirement that the name you give a Discipline is "official"; you can call them whatever you want!

{% hint style="info" %}
**Adding Disciplines**

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
/disciplines add disciplines:DISC1=VALUE [DISC2=VALUE2] ...
```

{% endcode %}

You can add multiple Disciplines at a time.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Example**

Adding Auspex 2 and Oblivion 3 to a character:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
/disciplines add disciplines:Auspex=2 Oblivion=3
```

{% endcode %}
{% endhint %}

### Powers

While not a requirement, you can add powers to a Discipline and use them in rolls just like specialties. *Un*like specialties, however, using a power doesn't add dice. It's purely a way to reduce ambiguity in roll output.

The syntax is identical to [adding specialties](/guides/quickstart/specialties.md):

{% hint style="info" %}
**Adding powers**

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
/powers add powers:<DISC1>=<POWER1>,[POWER2],... [DISC2]=...
```

{% endcode %}
{% endhint %}

The same holds true for removing and rolling powers. Powers and Disciplines can be found in the output of `/traits list`.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Power bonus** **is automatically added** if your Blood Potency is 2 or higher! No need to use a custom trait.
{% endhint %}
