If we ignore the mechanics, entirely, my favorites were Walkers in the Mist, Blank Badges, Thrice Great, Uncrowned Kings, Al i Bhatin, Fangs of Mara, and Legion.

In the 1,000 Years of Night book, the chart suggests 25 exp for 200-500 years... and then follows up by suggesting using arcs that represent around a human lifespan (so 70 years) of effort rather than buy all the details. Arcs exp costs range from 34-36 exp... That's "Mover and Shaker" levels of exp, (35) which the chart suggests means 500-800 years. That's just odd.

So... anyhow, if 35 exp is a good average human lifespan of effort, the average assumption is around 1 exp every second year. As a suggestion for vampire elders it honestly sounds good. Those who push harder...

One possibility that seems interesting is the creation of an apex guardian would absolutely fit Nemesis but a a resurrection of Father Wolf would not. Don't forget about side effects, though. It's easy to imagine that the Imperium to generate a mighty border guardian could have the unplanned consequence of reinvigorating the former holder of that title. (Maybe as a Spirit with loads of manifestations and perhaps as a Pangean.)

Another interesting option would be success leading to a very different apex predator in the distant past resulting in a different Uratha as a result of their...

Desert Wolf: Desert wolf hunts the spaces between. He hunts the things that creep in through the cracks of the world, like Djinn and certain non-beings. It was one of the primary forces that fought the Idigam and helped Luna seal them on herself.

Desert wolf was almost killed in that conflict and woke trapped in the Gauntlet. He was trapped for generations before he finally figured out where he was and how to navigate it. Now he can navigate between interstices and can cross almost any barriers imaginable when hunting his prey. A particularly disturbing trick is when he folds into...

Quite true. An owner of a vast business empire who is fully leveraged easily can have fewer liquid assets than a teenager with a job at the local burger shack. (Of course, a merit like Backing is more appropriate in some such cases) The level of resources available to characters during play is what the Resource background represents....

Thanks for the heads-up, No Father. That Gift doesn't quite go the direction I was seeking, but it certainly has a solid theme. I like it.

I'm still trying to figure out mechanics, but here's something related that I'm working on:

Gift of Burning Blood

The "Burning Blood", or "ningsasa mud", primarily refers to poisons, but can refer to a set of related diseases from fevers, heatstroke, and rage to raving forms of madness and Lunacy. It is taught almost exclusively by spirits of venomous things like scorpions and vipers, but only those...

Snazzy find, there....

Quick question: Is there some venom/poison gift floating about for 2e?

Supernal Focus (•••••, Supernatural)
Prerequisites: Gnosis 6+, Occult 3
Effect: The character has a highly defined sense of the connection to the Supernal World as it flows through the Fallen. This insight increases the maximum Yantra bonus from +5 to a bonus equal to the character's Gnosis rating.
Drawback: The worst penalty possible due to various conflicting effects also becomes equal to Gnosis rating.

I haven't been able to get anything to post (doubt this is going through) since Wednesday (at least) and have been getting "connection refused " for the last couple days.
