It probably just works like the courtesans in AC 2.




You can use Presence and then send the crowds to distract guards....

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Disappointingly, the Brujah and Toreador's Celerity powers are identical.

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Beckett's Jyhad Diary has an (optional) scenario where Enoch awakens and either:
a) Has a nice conversation with Beckett
b) Is absolutely insane and brings about Gehenna

Also, worth pointing out that in Dark Ages V20's "Tome of Secrets" a group of vampires are sent on a quest by a mysterious benefactor who is so powerful that he can remove their need for blood while they are working for him and his blood seems to be a composite of Ventrue, Lasombra, Brujah and Cappadocian vitae which, according to the text, are presumed to be the Clans sired by Irad, suggesting...

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

They are releasing a, presumably, proper expansion pack called "Season of the Wolf" which will feature werewolves.
It's not as if Gangrel are a requirement for the game being completed, anyway. They're not even Camarilla anymore....

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

They could have given the Tremere two different types of Thaumaturgy. Maybe something fire based?


True. I think the Malkavians are more likely simply because, out of the three clan images left on the website, one obviously represents the Toreador, another the Ventrue and the third strikes me more as the cells in a mental asylum rather than sewers....

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

If they meant for the Clans to all have unique disciplines, they've just shot themselves in the foot. Now, whatever they do, the Toreador will always either share Celerity with the Brujah or Auspex with the Tremere.



No, I'd bet whatever you want that the Malkavians will be playable, not the Nosferatu....

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

I have been reading about the World of Darkness for somewhere around six years now and I only understand like 50% of the terms being used right now.

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Actually, could we discuss this? Is it just me or do the Assamites have a far greater number of fleshed out and "statted" 4th and 5th Generation Methuselahs than other clans? Really, Tegyrius dwarfs all other justicars n age....

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

He seems strong enough to me. His primary stats seem to be Mental, anyway.

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

So, a Brujah?

Just kidding, just kidding, I see your point. And I agree. Of course you can be social without Presence but the clans were given their particular disciplines for a reason. The absence of Presence insinuates that the Brujah lose their society building skills....

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

I hope they're not removing the social Disciplines, that'd leave my favorite clan a bit undermanned.

"So here's the Ventrue. They have Fortitude and that's about it. Caine hated them."...

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Where's Presence?...

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Corax and Ratkin do gain Strength +1, at least as of W20.


I wouldn't go so far. Obviously any werecreature should have an advantage over humans in their war form. Making this thread, I was thinking only in terms of how each Breeds compares to each other when using their natural forms as a basis for comparison....

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

I wouldn't call V5 "awful of every level"; tough it's most certainly not my favorite edition; but I also don't believe you need to be a thinblood or a 13th Generation neonate in order to play a game of political horror.
Sure, if you just want to play a 4th Generation Brujah with Potence and Celerity 9, you're missing the point of the game. However, playing an Elder is not, necessarily, no more than self aggrandizement. There are horrors inherent to being that old and possessing that much power.

For instance, in defense of generations, I do enjoy playing a low-ish...

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

I have to admit, I am a bit disappointed one of the possible clans turned out to be "thin blood".
We already knew were going to start as one, now there's one spot less for actual clans with actual vampires.

Can you tell I don't like thin bloods?

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Seems like a bad idea to me. You'd spend more blood subduing a werewolf than you'd get from feeding.
