To make it short: I love (most of) the "fluff" of the OWOD, hate (most of) the "crunch".

• Love having a metaplot and fleshed out NPCs.
• Dislike the system inconsistencies and incompatibilities, and it shows that it was done by bunch of writers that had not really much world knowledge at the time.
• Dislike that the generations in VtM make no mathematical sense (15 generations only nowadays?).
• HATE with passion consensual reality for mages, it makes no sense, if you know anything about behavioral economics, world history, and plain of human interaction; most people do not

Greetings,

Besides having a high Gnosis and using the Mirrorshades fetish, what else can facilitate Stepping sideways easily in most* situations? Is there any gift or other fetishes?

Thanks,

*By most, I mean not depending on a particular location.

This, a hundred times this. MowtekPvP you are not really limiting anything, what is the most powerful X? The one with the highest available stats.

It would be better if you restricted to something such as combat or socially optimized, with limits like "as a starting character" or "with 100 exp points".



On a Vampire vs Werewolf thread, limited to starting characters and close quarters combat, I posted the Lasombra Hentai Death-Machine. (And if you are curious about the Werewolf side, here is Ugly McAngry)....

A bit of Necromancy on this thread, but it became suddenly relevant in a game, I specially trust Heavy Arms opinion since I read a post of his.

Taking into account what I posted of the character on this thread, and if Entropy is the Affinity sphere, what spread would be better? :

1. Correspondence 3, Entropy 1, Mind 1, Prime 1
2. Correspondence 2, Entropy 1, Mind 1, Prime 2
3. Correspondence 3, Entropy 2, Mind 1
4. Entropy 3, Mind 3

I like the last option the most as nearly everything could be coincidental, Entropy and Mind are almost always useful (very versatile), and because two well-picked...

Greetings,

I am confused about how the Avatar ratings above 3 work, as per the core book:



So if I can not spend more than 3 points casting... What is it good to have Avatar 4 or 5? Are there other ways to spend more than 3 Quintessence for casting? Are there other usages for Quintessence?

Thanks,...

Thanks for the answers, monteparnas and Heavy Arms

What do you think of the points I made about the Talons when I answered Heavy Arms?

[lbeaumanior]

Funny enough we disagree on the difficulty of the questions:





I am doubting on this item, the introductory text to the section makes clear that Garou can not make the Talons and that Incarna and their servants provide them, perhaps bypassing the manufacture part.

However, the text of the fetish states that the Talons are "like some sort of clawed gauntlet" and therefore a weapon, plus the art on the book makes them look very elaborated (the manufactured part?), so the providence of the material is not the only factor here.

Greetings,

Does the gift Jam Weapon, disable weapon fetishes? I am particularly interested on Klaives and the Hunter’s Talons fetish.

I am almost positive that Klaives are affected but unsure about the Hunter’s Talons as those are claw complements and not manufactured but provided by an Incarna.



Emphasis mine.

Thanks....

I think this is too specific for a Rank 1 spirit:



It seems very close to the specificity of higher rank spirits. Hell, with the current cost of GPUs and the specific usage that must burn it, this seems something for a Rank 4 spirit....

[lbeaumanior]

Awesome! Thanks for the ideas, I am considering changing the Ban to computers only aspects....

[lbeaumanior]

A bit of necromancy but I really like this thread concept and would love to see some pack ideas.

Greetings,

Does the Potent Nimbus merit keep counting after you have a Gnosis larger than 6?

Essentially, the part that goes Determine your Nimbus Tilt as if your Gnosis were raised by twice dots in this Merit, seems to become obsolete after Gnosis 6, given that the maximum Gnosis is 10, or does a hypothetical Gnosis 10, Potent Nimbus 2 character, treat their Gnosis as if was 14 for Tilt purposes?

Thanks.
