Re: NPCs/PC's feel free to put a post about yourself
Derrin West Having fought the brood in NYC for several years, he's earned his citizenship and quite a bit of standing among the kindred of NYC. He was known there as a useful resource for information as well as keeping mortal eyes away from the combat zones. He mainly helped set up ambushes and flu...

Re: Obfuscate rule
Ah, I had misunderstood the base system. So, if pretty much everything is a counter-pull, then that works well for pretty much every power. So to vanish would be opposed Wits + Stealth + Obfuscate vs BP + Resolve OR Wits + Invest + Auspex depending on defender, and then you keep your successes for l...

Re: Martial arts
The more I read them, the less sense they make. I keep hoping for a "good" system... But things like the Grappling/Throwing style (Aikido I think) where you defensively throw people around has lower requirements than the two simpler looking grappling styles, for example. I pretty much woul...

Re: Obfuscate rule
Not sure, but aren't most powers just going to be "subtract out opponent's resistance pool"? Becomes difficult in a crowd. Could do the initial vanish as a "normal" power where it's vs. highest resolve+BP (maybe plus auspex, but defender getting to add three stats is generally ra...

Re: Blood lines
Wow. The votes seem to be very against a couple of common, harmless bloodlines. Anything with Obfuscate + Dominate so far... Seriously? Malkavia the "dread disease" != Malkovians, bloodline with a free derangement. Curse whitewolf for making this confusion. And what's with the hating on th...

Re: Blood lines
The Adrestoi weakness is a typo. It is supposed to be "You must *also* spend a blood when activating a power that costs willpower". This makes it a pretty good flaw. Or at least, not an advantage... There's not a whole lot of willpower based powers anyway. The Sta-au are fairly reasonable ...

Re: New Game Notes (Rules)
The main question for obfuscate is when it discusses clash of wills, there's about three paragraphs worth of info, and it seems to give 2(ish) conflicting systems. Needs to be resolved which rolls you make and when. I think vanishing should be a static Int+Stealth+Obfuscate roll (basically just don'...

Re: New Game Notes (Rules)
I like this sidebar, and it would indicate that armor, while defending against damage, would not reduce staking successes. Also that exceptional successes (or in LARP success over damage cap) would accumulate staking successes but not damage.

Re: New Game Notes (Rules)
From armory reloaded Staking Dice Pool: Strength + Weaponry + Equipment. If the vampire is conscious and not completely immobilized, the vampire’s Defense is applied. Action: Extended (one success per Health dot the vampire possesses, each roll represents one turn) Despite what movies might tell you...
