Lol We did the "both typing at the same time" thing again.

I did delete your last post, only because you weren't in any position to dart anywhere. First chapter is over... I'll get the next one up later today.

For the moment, I think I have to do some work.

Glad to hear it!!

Amnesia will be in full effect in the game moving forward. I have to run down applying the Vampire template to your character, and make sure I don't forget anything.

That's really up to you. It's your flaw.

Since flaws grant XP when they hinder you in some meaningful way, how complete or severe it is will likely have some bearing on how often it comes up. That said, you only need it to come up once in a "chapter" to get the 1 xp.

(The system -- at least RAW -- limits it to 1 xp per chapter, to keep players from having a flaw that always comes up and thus swimming in XP.)

Alright, adding the Vampire template...

Clan is Mekhet.

Favored Attribute: +1 dot in Intelligence or Wits

Disciplines: 3 dots, divided as you want between Auspex, Celerity, and Obfuscate.

Merits: I'll give you 4 dots, of which at least 3 are to be spent on Vampire-specific merits -- including Haven, Herd, and Status (although Covenant status will be limited to 1 dot).
- There are other vampire-specific merits, and you might look up things specific to the Mekhet or your Covenant (if you decide on one).

(I have most of the books, so if you have something in mind you can ask and I can see if there's anything that fits. Or you can .pdf hunt. Lol)

Blood Potency is set to 1.

You can also sacrifice a dot of Humanity for 5 xp to spend as you wish. You can do this twice, for a total of 10. It is completely optional however, and losing humanity can result in derangements. Your choice.

Edit: If it worked, I edited the template part of your sheet to add some headers and basic information. You should have your type (vampire), clan (Mekhet), power stat (blood potency), three clan disciplines, and a few other things filled in. Hopefully.

The only thing that defaults to 1 as a minimum are the 9 stats. Anything else can be zero.

For status... which Covenant are you joining? (Your Sire is a Carthian, if it matters.)

As for Haven, there are three categories: Size, Security, and Location. What is your dot in?

Also, it doesn't look like you added your favored attribute point.

Looks good!

I will point out each category of the Haven merit is rated 1 to 5, meaning you can technically have 15 dots in haven at its max. For now, I'm going to count your two dots of security as part of your Sire's haven (since the Haven merit can be pooled, with members of a coterie each contributing).

Plus, she's not exactly letting you out on your own yet, until she feels you're fully educated.

Traps and escape routes are perfect ways to justify Haven Security dots, so that works just fine.

If -- and only if -- you want some .pdfs...
Clan Mekhet

Carthian Movement

Working on putting together sort of a primer on everything Vlax would have been taught during his first decade under her thumb. Don't know why I didn't think of it before yesterday, but here we are.

No worries. My job rather unexpectedly jumped into overdrive the past two or three days. I'll have everything up and rolling by tomorrow.

Drive safe!

As you can see... lots of typing. Plus, I suck at formatting but I'm working on that. Lol

I did most of the city building over the weekend... now it's just putting pen to paper.

I always make due on my phone. I used to have them all on a tablet dedicated to RPG .pdfs (and a few app games).

I mean, I still have that, but I'm rarely on it and I don't take it to work. I work for a general contractor, and it would get absolutely wrecked. There's also no way to use it discretely. Lol

That said... if you have them, I can give you page numbers for anything specific. There's always some mechanics included -- Bloodlines, merits, whatever. Also, good thematic knowledge. Skimming them should give you the gist though.

Got the next chapter started, but I want to finish up more of the primer before we get too deep into Chapter 2. Since it takes place in Court, a fair bit of the info is relevant. You're free to post though, since it starts with you and Kim getting ready.

Quick Q: Have you read the "City Primer" at all? Particularly the Elysium subsection? Asking, because some of it is about to become very relevant. Lol

The last one still doesn't.

It's the Elysium tab that'll be relevant.
