Well, could be I don't know... but seems a stretch to me to not give siluch advantage to vampire race while they are possessing far much stronger powers.
Also I can remember a novel in Dark era where a vampire was travelling running across the countriside to reach the a city far away.

I see suffering wound penalities much more related to tendons, bones and muscles broken.
I would rather say vampire do not get tired. No reason they should. Also in the chase table in the core there is also a +2 to give to the opponent of a tireless being (which if not a vampire I can't see who then, exception for cars)

Thanks for the idea, about your last statement, are you suggeeting you can't create a whole cloth or just that is better to not do that? Because in the book there's an example of a monster chasing the victim and also the 20th example from your list seems a creation from scratch...

Hi,

The new Nightmare design is really fascinating me. Nightmare 3 is so cool with plenty of room to be useful in a game.
Nightmare 4 is really awsome as concept but I'm struggling to find concrete application in a game, especially against PC. I mean, using it in a way that is really making a difference other than just creating atmosphere.
In example: I often succesfully used Obfuscate 4/5 to let a player attacking another player or an ally. That's great! But it's more dificult with Nihtmare 4 as it should always be a "Nightmarish" hallucination which is easy...

Actually Lay Open the Mind can drag up also forgotten/modified memories. So I'd say your point 1 is not completely correct.
I agree that you can't implant new memories. You can just show him those memories but the subject will keep them as external. Otherwise Auspex will have the same effect of dominate. It's much more: "I have this scene in my mind which I can't rid of"...

I got your overall point but then how you decide what you should or should not tell to tour character?

Hi,

How exactly is a deep memory defined? If the player want to uncover the whole youth of the target is this acceptable? What about the last night? Or with memories is something more restricted to specific objects such as: memories about father, about school, ecc..

It's not really clear to me what should be allowed and what should not.
It's too easy asking for all the memories related to his childood because the PC will spot in an istant all the secrets of years and years and also it's a too huge amount of information to process at once.
Do you allow also:...

You are right here. They ignore lethargic condition and no other penalities are there. So no penalities at all but the sun damages....
