Hi.
I'm going to play VtM for the first time this weekend.
I was thinking about playing a malkavian, because someone told me something about Malkavians being able to alter reality, but I can't find anything in the matter, except a power called "Deny".
Could any of you help me out, where can I find a bit more detailed description about this "reality altering" stuff?
>>
>>52669882
>I was thinking about playing a malkavian
Do not.
It will end poorly for you, and involve aggravation for everyone else.
Further, you were lied to, Chymistry alters reality, to a point.
>>
>>52669882
IIRC there's a 10-dot Chimerstry (Ravnos) power called "Reality" that basically lets you control how people perceive reality.
>>
>>52669823

I guess some leftie mod was seriously triggered.
>>
>>52670062
Don't bring it back, cuntwaffle.
>>
>>52669882
Malkavians are not really able to "alter reality" in any way... that's more the Ravnos clan's speciality, though only at the higher levels.

See, the Malkavians' clan discipline is Dementation: it's basically "I turn people insane in various ways".

The Ravnos have Chimerstry, which is used to craft illusions and such. At the higher levels (Methuslah-rated vamps and above, which is not something you'll ever probably see), Chimerstry can be used to essentially obliterate people or objects out of space and time by making an illusion so powerful that the universe itself will believe it, if enough successes are garnered on the roll.

But anyways, if you're playing a malkavian for the first time, remember that malkavians are insane. Not Looney Tunes insane in the "run up and slap them with a fish"-way, but rather insane in a "the voices tell me that I have to murder someone every full moon, otherwise the world will end"-way.

So, y'know, roleplay your Malkavian as creepy and demented, rather than "oh lol im so random, lullerskates, roflmao".

thanks to the guy who posted geist stories last thread

I can't seem to figure this out, I'm new to WtA and made a character the other day [for a game that's probably not going to happen] and got kind of stuck on using freebie points. Most of it was straight forward, except for the buying of gifts, it doesn't really say anything about buying off-auspice gifts with your freebie points, it just says that in order to buy a gift with freebie points you'd need to spend 7 freebie points to do it.

can a ragabash buy falling touch at creation? or an auhron buy mother's touch? did I miss something?

Well I posted this in the last thread right as it died. So I'm going to repost it.
The hedge is part of the Fallen world. And DaveB has mentioned that in his own head cannon the hedge is barrier the mages have to pass to go from dreaming to their personal soul.

While I honestly love that, it doesn't give with what I have planned for Arcadia. So don't use it.

Thoughts on this idea?

Demon: the Descent game, set in Luoyang, capital of Han China, in 184. Because China is one of the only places in the world with a complex bureaucracy at this point, the God-Machine uses that as essentially one massive piece of infrastructure, or as a lot of smaller pieces of infrastructure working together, depending on your perspective. This is when the Yellow Turban Rebellion is starting, and in the coming decades the empire is going to collapse into the Three Kingdoms.
The players can't see the future, but the writing is on the wall; the bureaucracy has gotten too complicated for its own good. The players watch the God-Machine struggle desperately to maintain the empire, and (depending on their own proclivities) either help put on end to the empire or take advantage of the ensuing chaos for their own ends.
>>
>>52670693
Should note that this was inspired by the Three Kingdoms dark eras chapter but I think Changeling is lame and the ideas for a Geist game it presents seem pretty one-dimensional.

At character creation, you can only buy gifts that correspond to your character's breed, auspice and tribe, even when using freebie points.

Out-of-tribe gifts and such are generally meant to be acquired through gameplay and storytelling, and is generally not intended for new characters: the game kinda assumes you'd be a young werewolf looking for glory (or whatever is appropriate), rather than an already-hardened veteran with loads of out-of-tribe connections.

Probably only one other person in these threads cares, but new Anthology set preview is up on VEKN.

It's nice to have a new printed set out there but I'm kinda bummed about tap/untap being replaced with lock/unlock, and changing the card backs again is kinda lame.

SJW's and leftists have ruined blacks for me. Everytime I see a black person in any media I now think of politics and that he might just be there for political points. I even played black characters sometimes before the world went mad, I'd just feel uncomfortable doing that now.

So ive been interested on WoD and CoD for a while now, and i really enjoy reading about a lot of the lore and background, but i have a really dumb question i can't find an explicit answer on.

Is there a core rulebook for either WoD or CoD, and then i get the other books to branch of from there? Or if i buy just the book with the creatures/stuff i am interested will i have everything i need to play?
>>
>>52671585
CofD's core rule book is simply named World of Darkness, supplemented by a book called the God Machine Chronicle. you'll probably at least need the core and the supplement around if you don't read them cover to cover because they do things like foot chases and such that splat core books don't cover. I'm sure it's pretty similar for oWoD/20
>>
>>52671585
Old World of Darkness had separate rules for everything
NWoD/CofD 1e had a core rulebook + supplements for each splat. 2e moved back to the model of only needing 1 book.

So why would I need the Chronicles of Darkness corebook then? I mean, just to play regular non-Hunter humans or something?
>>
>>52671692

I can't just see a black character, like the man in the picture i quoted, and think 'cool pic'. Because of all the gender and race politics, and the many cases of actual blatant political injections (Like Null Snyper and the whole of beast), my mind now immediately wanders to those topics and ruin it.
>>
>>52671707
Basically. I think there are a few rules specific to that book but they're not critical. The book also contains the God Machine Chronicle.
>>
>>52671701

That is not a hunting rifle.

Also, I prefer to play with my IRL friends, I had the luck that we found a store online that sold a lot of unopened boxes last year for not too bad a price, so me and my friends are sitting on a lot of cards we've collected over the years. We have like 12 clans or so with a fair amount of cards if we count all of us, but we kind of burned out on the game last year, played it too much. Perhaps we'll pick it up again in the future, it sucks that some clans are basically impossible to get ahold of though (like Lasombra).
>>
>>52671707

The lazy fucks didn't even change the cover, huh? They should've just stuck a big fucking owl on there.
>>
>>52669882
Did he say "reality busting"? Because Malkavians tend to have very different perspectives and a tradition of inflicting them on everyone else through inexplicable scheming and stunts. They called it that sometimes when they wanted it to sound more serious than "pranking".

>>52669694
I would try to incorporate Jiang Shi, probably has a Ventrue bloodline. Maybe has a failed attempt to take over the East in the 18th century?

Did you mean sniper rifle? Only works with wall decks. Salubri antitribu with melee weapons is crazy. You'll be burning guys in combat, not just torping them. Also they have pic related. Just play like 10-15 of them and get all of the love in the table.

>>
>>52671988

Ah, I meant the deer rifle. That fucker is cheap and gives a free maneuver, really annoying to face if you (like me) often rely on cards for maneuvers.

The sniper rifle is pretty good, but has the problem of being scary/annoying, so the vamp will be targeted with all kinds of crap just to neutralize him quick either for actual game reasons or for the annoyance-factor.

>>52671988

Also, lol yeah, our games have devolved into bounce/reduce-fests plenty of times.

I played Malk 94 vs a Saulot deck as prey that had like 30 of these last weekend, it was brutal.
>>
Hey there was a vampfag here the other week that wanted to make a day walker bloodline. I got a idea of how to implement it.

Have their Blessing and Bane be synced.

Bloodline gift: When the sun begins to rise the vampire may spend 1 vitae to suppress the beast allowing him to ignore the call of daysleep and the lethargic condition. furthermore while the beast is suppressed the vampire's blood potency is treated as 0, allowing them to walk in daylight once more.

Bloodline bane: Suppressing the beast comes at a great cost. While walking in day the vampire is limited to spending their Stamina in vitae for the entire day and may only spend 1 vitae per turn.
Furthermore when the beast is suppressed it takes the vampire's humanity with it. During any day the vampire stays awake as well as the following night, the vampire's humanity for the purposes of banes is reduced by the same amount their vampire's blood potency was reduced by. (For example a blood potency 4 vampire with 6 humanity is treated as having 2 humanity for banes.)
>>
>>52672142

The problem is not just me, there very clearly is an actual agenda in several places in the media, that would be foolish to deny. It's just that it ruins it for actual well-placed minorities.

Do not say that there is not an agenda...

Deer rifle is fine with some ammo stuff. Though of all the ranged weapons I prefer saturday night special and ivory bow. And that's only when playing ahrimanes. They have the best maneuvers. Swiftness of the stag and leapfrog are insanely good.
Vtes is just such a ballsy game. I have this fun type deck I like to play, that I call alley snakes. Crypt is only aabbt kindred and the main idea is for them to go get sport bikes, leather jackets, nightsticks and in combat they target vitals. The win condition is anarch revolt and smiling jack.

You know, I was thinking that it was incorrect, then I reread the character creation section in W20 and couldn't find any reference to starting with out of Breed/Auspice/Tribe Gifts.
Personally I'd allow you to start with one "out" Gift if you could make up a cool story for how your character earned it, which could be difficultwithout overdoing it considering starting werewolv es are barely out of their Rite of Passage.
>>
>>52672291
I agree with you entirely, but you're still causing a problem by letting it get to you. They WANT you to focus on race. If they can make you froth at the mouth and start screaming whenever you see a black character, they've won, because they've made you into what they claim you are without having to make themselves look bad.

In a Post Gehenna scenario, which clans would rise up to become the most dominant? I was thinking.

Gangrel: They survive. It's what they do.

Ventrue: Their antediluvian is already dead. Not much changes for them.

Nosferatu: Their antediluvian fucking hates them. They get blown the fuck out.

Setites: Also get blown the fuck out.

Tremere: Cosmic justice calls for the blood wizards to get fucked in one way or another.

Toreador: Being pretty won't save them.

Giovanni: Augustus gets fucked up. Giovanni get BTFO.

Brujah: Survive through it more or less.The righteous indignation of their site cracking skulls and all that shit.

Tzimisce and Lasombra: Like the idea of these two becoming something far more horrifying than the average cainite.

Ravnos: All things considered, I think they got off pretty good by comparison.

Samedi: Fills the void left by the nossie.

Caitiff: Make up an overwhelming majority of the population.

Hello Everyone.
I was wondering if I could get some expert Eyes to look over my character Sheet and tell me if everything is in line, and works?
I should mention that the ST gave us 1 dot of Cabal (Pylon) Theme for free because of how well we did putting it together. And the time we spent researching our theme.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e2jG3LEsmBhxMV5icoCWpsty-Yqkf7h2SNesOHlfGoo/edit?usp=sharing

I think the proposed mage antagonist from the last thread was rather blatant proof that Mage is leagues above Vampire in every conceivable way.

>>52675227
Honestly I'm not sure about your back story. Helping people to help themselves isn't much of a seer virtue.
>>
>>52675227
You mentioned getting the Cabal Theme for free. Seer characters get the dot of Occult as well as High Speech and Status 1 for free, right? Since you spent 5 merit dots on gnosis, and you got those 3 dots for free, you should have a total of 8, but you have 7. I think you have another dot to spend.

Umm...What? I don't see anything in the history section that mentions helping others help themselves. He's a Lawyer. He'll help people get a divorce and a good alimony payment.

He does Pro bono work at the shelter his sister was murdered at in order to entice the gang that killed her to come back after him as he ruins their members lives.

But nothing there says Helping other hep themselves. Though this is version 3.11 of this character and he was originally an Obrimos who's day Job was as a motivational speaker.
>>
>>52675700
I'm not sure exactly, I don't know the rules for a Seer character. Is it the same as with Orders? I inferred it is because you took the free Occult and High Speech dots that Order members get. Page 80 says that you take both those and the status dot.

Reminder that mages are powerful enough to back up their hubris / arrogance and deal with non-mages relatively easily. Improvisation comes to them naturally, of course.

This 'underestiMAGE' term only applies to themselves dealing with their own in-setting issues, such as other mages, Supernal mysteries and Abyssal whatnot.

The Mage games are both really interesting, with lots of potential for fun. I like them. I wish I could play them, or even discuss them with other people.

But I've been dealing with obnoxious Mage players, both face to face and on the internet, for OVER TWENTY FUCKING YEARS. Without fail, every single one of them that I've ever encountered has been uniformly (if in varying degrees) outright obnoxious and annoying whenever they discuss ANY game aside from Mage, and a lot of them when it's only Mage, too.

The other game lines, I've at least encountered one or two genuinely decent, likeable, and reasonable people when it came to their favored game and its relation to other people, or even people who play their game a way that they do not.

It leaves a mark on you, you know? It colors the game itself, despite my best efforts to overcome that imposed bias. I wish it wasn't this way, I wish I could enjoy and discuss Mage as I did when I only owned the Core, back before we had internet access in the mid-90s. But if wishes were horses, a werewolf player would probably be fucking one right now.

until, that is, a fellow shitposter mentioned knots.

The only one of these that actually bothered me a bit was Idris Elba playing Roland, and that's only because it would actually have an impact on some things in the story where race was a factor, like with Detta and Odetta before they became Susannah, or how Roland was high nobility in a world where people were racist, and how there was some racism in the Calla, etc.

But on the other hand Idris would make a good Roland, and it's funny to think about a young black Roland cucking some old white mayor.

Let me try:

> 2nd vampire decides not to dodge and take the attack
> roll Dex+Melee with a base diff 6 if the character is not aiming anywhere specific
> count the successes
> all the successes above the first one add extra dice to damage (so for example if the guy got a total of 5 successes, then he gets 4 extra dice to damage)
> 2nd roll: damage. Roll Strength+1 (for knife)+ extra dice for successes. base diff 6 unless the book says otherwise or there are special circumstances
> count the successes on the damage roll (for example 3 successes)
> knife is a lethal weapon, so that's 3 lethal damage
> vampire who got attacked now rolls his Stamina to soak the damage. base diff 6
> he might soak some or all of it depending on how well he rolls

and that's it. the only thing I am fuzzy on is soaking. is it possible to soak all of damage completely or for the sake of logic, you should still get 1 dmg minimum?
>>
>>52682857
soaking is such a terrible clunky mechanic desu

how much Forces dots do you need to glide using air currents? This allow safe falls and being able direct where you will land.

You can soak it all up. Vampires also halve all bashing damage, rounding down, and can soak lethal with stamina. Make your roll and a knife stuck in your gut is just cosmetic.

Speaking of Mages I found this
>>
>>52682974
Anywhere from Forces 2 to 4 depending on what you're trying to do and how many spells you're casting.

A Forces 2 spell with a reach effect would make you immune to fall damage but controlling your fall would be awkward. Perhaps with a wing suit and a Ruling spell to control the wind.

Forces 3 could do away with the need for special equipment because you could fiddle with the strength of gravity and telekinesis to control your velocity in air.

Forces 4 would allow straight flight.

>>52676679
Yes
>>
>>52682989
>>52683034
okay, then another scenario that I was always wondering about: if you roll successes on hitting but no successes on damage, would you say "well he did hit you so maybe he did at least 1 dot of damage" or would you say that vampires are tough fuckers, so no damage? and if the latter, the same rule seems weird when applied to, say, mortals: you get successes on hitting but none on damage, how would that get explained?

I've only played a few CCGs (Magic on steam, L5R and Vtes irl) and some LCG's as well (which is a shit idea), and Vtes if by FAR the best game. The main problem with it is that it requires a minimum of 4 players to be any good, and preferably 5.

Except she wasn't written to be white, and the way the author drew her wasn't necessarily an important aspect of it.

Basically, the author said, her race was never a relevant factor. Do you have anything that implies otherwise?

>and that's it. the only thing I am fuzzy on is soaking. is it possible to soak all of damage completely

Yes, you can soak all damage in a roll completely, provided you're capable of soaking that damage type in the first place. So if you're a vampire with Fortitude, you could still theoretically soak all the damage done by fire/sunlight, as long as the roll(s) succeeded. Unless a particular spell/discipline is used which details how it inflicts "unsoakable" damage, then the damage can always be soaked (again, so long as you've got the necessary soaking powers).

Please, without constant exarch shenanigans propping them up, the Seers would self-destruct. They barely manage as it is.

They're dangerous, of course, but never forget that they can't afford to trust each other, and will always fuck each other over whenever they can.

Guardian/Council relations look cordial compared to Seer politics.

>>52683769

That is a fucking retarded point and you know it. The author is white, Harry Potter is set in a predominantly white nation, if a character is not meant to be white then that needs to be stated, otherwise the characters defaults to white.

Do you realize how dumb your point is? We could peruse fiction from any country and say that this guy in the japanese story is black, this guy in the indian story is actually japanese, this woman here in the african story is actually a Samoan. By your point these interpretations are equally correct as the natural interpretation, which is obviously false and you must know this.

That's why I said "relevant" dipshit. The author stated that the character's race did not play a part in anything, which means you can replace and insert whatever you fucking want in it, and it still makes sense.

This isn't 12 years a slave, or fucking sengoku period. There's no massive alteration in the story, or break in suspension of disbelief if the race was changed, so it's a null factor.

That's the factor your triggered ass seems to be overlooking. No one's ever gonna point that hermione's white/black/asian so it doesn't matter, while in your examples it could have.

But if Hermoine is black how did she sneak around when hiding from Voldemort and not get shot in the street by police for reaching into her pocket for her wand?

Pretty much what >>52683617 said.
It's also fairly complicated compared to Magic, but much more satisfying to play imo.
If you've ever played and liked games like Illuminati or Cosmic Encounter, chances are you'll probably also like VtES.

I mean more along an individual basis. Like obviously say, I don't know, a pandorian from promethian has zero interest in being friends with humans sure. But not many of them are inherently against humanity, and many of them were humans at one point or another.

In theory, yes, back in the day.
It is easier to convince people to play Vampire because of immediate setting recognition (you have no idea how this can put rookies off, especially with fantasy and sci-fi), creature recognition (post twilight), and it doesn't wear violence on it's sleeve as much as say, D&D/SR/SW.
But the heyday of hot goth girls draping themselves on your lap as they seduce you (in game and irl), remaining there to softly guide your words and actions while you are enthralled with soft brushes of her hands and gazes of smoldering hunger while you splutter and drop spaghetti like a 14 year old (in game and irl), then lets you gently suckle from her finger in reward for your service while coyly pushing away more libidinous advances only to drag you to her bed when the others have retired for the night... yeah, those days are gone, bro.

You realize that, considering the entire situation, this could easily be taken as an expression of fear, rather than an abject description, right?
You've found yourself championing an edge case because it is literally all you have to offer, which is likely what the author intended.
That you see it necessary to replace the author's words with your own headcanon doesn't help your case.

What would be a thematic gun for a vampire hunter?

I have a concept for a werewolf game of a glass walker raised by hunters who has a real hate-boner for leeches (they killed his adoptive parents)
I want to give him a fetish gun inherited from his adoptive parents that works like the sun whip and BTFOs vamps

I was thinking a big iron like a S&W model 29 or a Colt Diamondback

Thoughts?
>>
>>52687897
M1911 is an old gun, pretty good for a fetish weapon.

You are the one that keeps bringing it up anon, also JK said it wasn't relevant what her race was, not that she never said she was white.

even the previous guy said "Turn white". It's obviously because she's hiding and afraid. Who the fuck says "her white face" without it meaning an emotion, anyway?
>>
>>52688170
>Who the fuck says "her white face" without it meaning an emotion, anyway?
Maybe somebody who wanted to create the striking imagery of a white face standing out against the backdrop of dark trees?

Or somebody who is describing their character?

White isn't exclusively used in expressions for fear.

hmm, my group does it like this

>Find initiative
>Vamp 1 attacks Vamp 2
>Vamp 2 to gets a single dodge attempt per full round of combat, can be increased through celerity spending celerity
> Dex Melee base diff 6 contested against whatever their defensive roll is, attacking vampire can use celerity for more attacks
>If it is a hit Move into damage step, if it is a miss combat moves to next person in order of Initiative
> Vamp 1 rolls strength, then adds the damage modifier of the weapon as additional successes, so stabbing with a knife is no matter what 3 lethal. If vamp 1 has potence he may spend a point of blood to have auto successes up to his dot in potence, but he may not use potence in the damage roll
> Vamp 2 rolls soak which is contested against vamp 1's total damage roll. so assuming vamp 1 had no success if vamp 2 rolls 2 success off of stamina he takes 1 lethal, IF vamp 2 has fortitude he may spend a point to auto soak up to his dots of fortitude but he may not use fortitude in the soak roll. Armor also adds auto successes
>Vamp 2 now decides if he wants to spend blood to instantly heal his wound.
>All non player, non important mobs so ghouls and thugs only have 4 HP boxes in combat as a minimum base line.

Overall its a bit quicker, and less lethal towards the player characters
>>

Increased through celerity spending blood*

It's not the same, my friend.

Once, he was a little light
>>
>>52688478
Your mechanics are stupidly lethal and completely negate the point of having high strength. Easier to just run around with a greatsword and instant kill everyone you meet with one blow.
>>
>>52688706
Well for starters carrying a great sword in pulbic is a great way to attarack attention, which in turn scares of your prey. Secondly great swords have a difficulty modifier if I recall and if not I would give it one, so your running off difficulty 7 or even 8 to hit when the opposing side has a difficulty 6 to dodge,
>>
>>52688827
Dodging someone with increased range increases your difficulty to do so, so your point is moot.

Also you can easily hide a greatsword in a guitar case, so that point is also moot.

Basically no reason to not just have greatsword at all times since you use auto-successes and strength is pointless. Just dump everything into Dexterity and kill everything in one blow.
>>
>>52688860
>you can easily hide a greatsword in a guitar case
Anon, you are thinking of a bastard/hand and a half sword, not a greatsword, which are commonly 5' or more.
At least get your shit straight if you are trying to shittalk someone else because you think they are having badwrongfun.
Also, your implication that high strength only applies to combat and nothing else matters is juvenile as fuck. Go play D&D.
