I am loving what I see in making an Elder vampire
Pick 2 specialities
Pick a bonus devotion
5 blood potency

Pick a package..
...and voila! Instant elder. Maybe a bit light in disciplines but elegant and still very powerful. Overall, an excellent book

How about Rotes? Skill based bonus and free reach? How do they compare to other yantras?

Something I often wondered but did not say aloud. The birthrate of garou is mathematically impossible to sustain a viable population if only 10% of births breed properly. Otherwise the garou would be the most promiscuous creatures on Earth having many partners and keeping as many people pregnant at all times, the womenfolk would need to be barefoot and pregnant all the time. With only a 10% replacement rate they would have gone extinct back in the stone age. Are there any population statisticians to back this up?

I am happy for this thread. I get the impression that the Warp Reality power (though not doing direct damage), is more spectacular than going claw to claw with garou. The warp reality powers would probably stack as he does one per round. The 5 success effects would probably be enough to wipe out any pack it was fighting. Are there any good examples from players of creative uses of the powers since it seems very open ended in the main book....

Kudo's to the developers for creating the Jumpstart as a gateway to learning about Exalted. Just how difficult would the fights be with a group of Solars if they go for the standard scenes of fighting the Wolf emanation, the Monster emanation, then the wolf pack? I would imagine that if the party has some fighters like the Dawn, the Night, and probably the Zenith (I don't have the book with me now so excuse me if I don't mention them by name), they would probably mop the floor with them with some essence fueled blows, especially if they have their artifacts. I would imagine that the fights...

Such a place with a name like that would raise eyebrows among anyone who knows about werewolves such as the Pure and one of them might visit out of curiosity. That would be some unwelcome attention....
