If you mean is there a minor template that can defeat one of splat template then yes, anyone who can unleash enough fire can take on a vampire and hope to win. I imagine there are many exploitable weaknesses amongst the major splats that you make use of.

At a quick read am I right that this would make higher humanity vampires more capable than low humanity vampires? That seems off theme in vampire but if you’re willing to think through the implications it could make for a very interesting game. Also I like the Mask and Dirge rules.
When you talk about a revised edition how far are you thinking of going?

One little thing I’ve always house ruled is the restrictions on clan unique disciplines since it feels artificial that you can take them as bloodline disciplines without restrictions but those 5 disciplines are harder to learn than

I don’t know much about Thaumaturgy and Essentiaphagi so take this with a grain of salt but if your ST doesn’t object to you home brewing a bloodline I would use Mekhet as the clan since secrets and mystical knowledge is kind of their thing and add Dominate as the Bloodline discipline, for bloodline boon blood sorceries cost 3 xp per dot and for the bloodline bane they skip the first stage of a blood bond. Ignore the Tremere from Mage since unless you’re doing a crossover they don’t matter and if you are doing a crossover rename your bloodline and decide how much overlap you want to be...

How do you go from concept to rules? I’m in the process of converting the Sangiovanni to 2e and I know what I want each level to do but there are a few things that I’m worried about.

Necromancy
Dot o
Detect dead things (ghosts, vampires, corpses etc) within range of your Kindred Senses. Dots in this discipline add to your Blood Potency for the purpose of determining the range of your Kindred Senses and also add to any dice pools to examine corpses. No further information is given at this level but the Kindred ability to identify other Kindred still applies.

I use them as inner and outer self, both are part of who you are but you project your Mask more and your Dirge is that part of yourself you don't always acknolage even to yourself. My goto example is guru/competitor vs competitor/guru, one will help you to test themselves agenst your problems and the other will get in your face to make you confront your problems.

Thanks for the great responses, I want to clarify that I ment no disrespect to the hunter line with my proposal and realise that Onyx Path is unlikely to deviate from their current method for one line given that this is how they've chosen to do 2e.
ArcaneArts it's been great having an inside prospective on this, thank you for participating.

Hear me out. Since hunters are basically humans they probably use the first few chapters of CofD unmodified (they will need most non supernatural merits plus some of their own, a expanded antagonist section and none of the GM stuff) and that page count could instead be given over to new stuff which I think is sorely needed to do justice to everything H:TV adds to a core mortal game.
I know this is somewhat true of any CofD line but with Hunter it's even more true.
Basically would you accept requiring a second book if all the space saved was extra content?

Since 1e I've been of the opinion that The Lucifuge needed to be something akin to the merit based templates from Hurt Locker, honestly as someone who's only read the core hunter book I felt there was too much content and wasn't enough to space (maybe time) to do justification to them all AKD is I believe one of the conspiracies that I felt needed a bit more work but I'm not sure what I wanted at the time. 2nd ed seems to be improving on first so I'm hopeful.

I’m away from my books at the moment so I was working from memory, thanks for correcting.

I believe that one of the Strix can (the photographer) can inflict the Soulless condition.
