I take it that you as ST accept responsibility for knowing the dice pools for all the disciplines your players have, do you have a reference sheet or are you one of those people who can remember things like that of the top of your head? If the latter I envy you, I have a hard enough time remembering the dice pools for my own disciplines.

[Live Bait]

Yes, it’s better than being asked if each merit adds to their dice pool every combat.

Since Cloak of Night leaves incidental signs like creaking floors and the like I would allow the Extra Senses Predatory Aspect to Clash of Wills. That gives two disciplines that have a counter to it plus you could argue that they still leave footprints on the right surfaces. Beyond that all I can think of is deploying bead curtains and using a wip in the hope that they will get discovered.
Edit: video and maybe even mirrors could be argued to be “incidental” if you really want to rule lawyer it but I wouldn’t expect most STs to allow you to get away with exploiting that without some...

I have a hard back and I've got the same issue.

Given that some posts were about linking the Ventrue bane to touchstones I wanted to make something that would allow everyone to play their type of Ventrue and I like how it made your touchstone a way to step back from that call in your blood to WIN and let yourself be human again. What could be better than a rule that encourages a player to seek out their touchstone when they just can't make something work or gives an elder reason to worry when a neonate is spending time with their touchstone instead of working.
On the timeframe I tend to think in real world terms because I don't want to...

I’ve been thinking about this and came up with this.
Beastral Drive. A Venture must make meaningful progress towards an aspersion or have a meaningful interaction with their touchstone. If they go more nights than their Humanity without either of these they gain the Tempted condition.
Simple and uses existing rules while scaling with humanity loss.

I would say a flat no, unless one of the supplements has added something I don't know about lashing out is a BP + Power stat and I see no reason to invite the merit arms race that changing that could bring.

Having watched a few let's plays I have a theory. I believe that the prince is using Dominate on the player, this explains why you can't lie to the prince about Nines or refuse to complete any mission. In Requrim the equivalent would be using Conditioning or Iron Edict on the players (which would really establish him as unlikable) but given that you can shed Subservient and Dominated by taking damage or passing a breaking point it might make the game more violent.
Looking forward to your next AP.

Don't forget the penalty to dice pools of anyone you didn't invite in. Lord of the Land gives you a place where you are the boss, it's in the name.
The only time it's underpowered is when you're not there or you're foolish enough to invite the wrong person in in which case you deserve what you get.
Edit: Clearly there's a need for a Majesty/Animalism devotion that gives you the benefits of Lord of the land when you use Idol.

[Live Bait]

I agree with everyone else. Within the effected area you can do extra stuff with an animal you have used Rase the Familiar on.

[Live Bait]

Looking forwards to it. Don't think we've forget about that, we will be waiting.

I think everyone's been assuming that, older vampires could handle a black ops team without damage on their own if they have the right disciplines maxed out....

[Live Bait]

Depending on their Humanity sunlight could do quite a low amount of damage given that at Blood Potincy 1 they have ten (maybe fifteen I don't have my book to hand) minutes before they actually take the damage, not that they wouldn't risk frenzy.
