Vampire characters may use dots of Mentor to learn rituals (if that mentor reasonably would have that blood magick: Luke Lasombra ain't teachin' you Akhu). What your Mentor knows and/or is willing to teach you is determined at the time that you +request to learn a ritual through the mentor. This is determined by rolling dice equal to your Mentor rating against a difficulty of [4 + Ritual Level]. You need one success to unlock it through your mentor.
