• Magic - Vampire
• Aspirations
• Keep Idun's resources in Idun (Merchant Marine, etc).
• Make the Mayor look as ridiculous to others as you see him.
• Squash any power grabs from Elites or Megacorps.
• Ventrue pg 26, Requiem
• Clan Bane (The Aloof Curse): Excellence breeds contempt. When people are puppets for your will and buildings are play pieces on a grand game board, it is hard not to become distant. It is so very easy for you to become detached from those people, places, and things that keep the Man secure in your breast.

Merits

<b>Riding the Wave (Style, • to •••••)</b> (vtr2: 118)
Prerequisites: Composure •••, Resolve •••
Effect: Your character runs with her Beast, and knows how to
use it to her advantage. She’s turned riding the wave into a raw,
primal art. These maneuvers may only be used while riding the
wave. They cannot be used in a normal frenzy, or outside of frenzy.
Ravage (•): Due to your character’s connection to her Beast,
her fangs become horrendous weapons. They look no different,
but her Beast knows how to use them with the utmost efficiency.
While riding the wave, they become 1L weapons when used
in a bite attack.
Primal Strength (••): Your character’s Beast blasts outward
in short bursts, in order to accomplish quick feats of strength.
When lifting, jumping, or destroying objects as an instant
action, double the Strength bonus aquired while in frenzy.
In the Zone (•••): When attempting to leash the Beast and
ride the wave, your character still operates at peak efficiency.
She still has to spend Willpower points in order to make rolls
to ride the wave, but those Willpower points also give a +3 die
bonus to any action taken in the turn.
Unyielding (••••): Your character rides the wave frequently;
it ceases to be taxing on her mental reserves. After a scene where
she successfully rides the wave, she recovers any Willpower spent
to initiate the ride.

Conservator's Union

• Primary benefit: Once per game, a Conservator can reach out to the Union’s influence network to gain the Connected, Networked, or Informed condition.
• Downtime benefit: Spend a downtime to gain a Universal Favor. No character can hold more than 3 Universal Favors earned via this benefit (see Favors in Chapter 4).

Mesmerize •

All a vampire has to do is meet her victim’s eye to catch him in her thrall. Her control isn’t obvious; she just asks him to do something and her victim acquiesces. He could unlock a door, pass her a gun — or forget ever meeting her. Some cruel vampires mesmerize passers-by just to take the rap for their crimes.

• Cost: None
• Dice Pool: Intelligence + Expression + Dominate vs. Resolve + bp
• Action: Instant
• Mesmerized Condition on the victim
• Action: Instant
• Failure: The vampire’s victim proves stronger-willed than

she’d thought.

• Success: The vampire holds her victim’s gaze for just a second,

but it’s enough to inflict the Mesmerized Condition (p. 305).

• Exceptional Success: The vampire’s control flows over the

victim’s brain like water. They want to do whatever the vampire says. The vampire can issue a command in the same action as mesmerizing the victim.

Once she has inflicted the Mesmerized Condition, the vampire can command the victim as an instant action. Her commands can’t be longer than three or four words, and she has to be direct — her control doesn’t extend to issuing vague commands. “Follow me,” “Shoot your husband,” and “Repeat after me…” are all suitable commands, while “Forget,” “Submit,” and “Do my bidding” have too much room for interpretation. She can even mess with the victim’s memory, making one statement about the current scene that victim will remember as truth. While she can still only use simple and unambiguous commands, she can pack a lot of changes into four words: “You killed that man” and “I was not here” combine to frame the victim for murder

Iron Edict

Once she’s got a hotline into her victim’s mind, the vampire can take some time to play with his thoughts and memories. While it takes more of her power to relay complex commands, she goes from jerking her victim’s strings to controlling him like a puppeteer, making his every movement dance to her tune. Cost: 1 Vitae; none if victim is in Vinculum with the vampire Dice Pool: None

• Requirement: The vampire must have inflicted the Mesmerized Condition on the victim
• Action: Instant

The vampire can issue a longer command to a Mesmerized victim. This edict can be up to three sentences long, and can include a successive series of actions. The command takes two turns per sentence to convey. As with Mesmerize, the vampire’s control doesn’t extend to commands that rely on the victim’s interpretation. The victim takes the Dominated Condition (p. 302) and will follow the vampire’s commands as soon as she finishes speaking them. He continues to follow the order until he has completed his task, or the sun rises. Many Kindred use Iron Edict to issue a simple command, such as “Obey my direct instructions when I give them to you,” which effectively gives them control over the minion until the sun comes up — though it doesn’t extend the duration of the Mesmerized Condition.

Entombed Command •••

The vampire has enough control over her meat-puppet to implant a subconscious trigger, a specific set of conditions that will turn him into her slave when he encounters them. She can force her victim into a suggestible state when he points a gun at her, make him transfer all of his money into her account when he hears Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, or only allow him to remember his son when he smells lilacs. Cost: None; other Dominate powers may cost Vitae. Dice Pool: Intelligence + Subterfuge + Dominate – victim’s Resolve

• Requirement: The vampire must have inflicted the Mesmerized Condition on the victim
• Action: Instant
• Duration: One week per success, or one month per success (see below).
• Roll Results
  • Dramatic Failure: The vampire’s attempt to set up a trigger backfires. The victim loses his Mesmerized Condition. For the next week, when he encounters one trigger that the vampire attempted to set he instead gains the Steadfast Condition (p. 306). Failure: The attempt to set triggers in the victim’s mind doesn’t take. Is he fighting back, or is there another reason? Success: The vampire can implant a number of subconscious triggers equal to the number of successes rolled to trigger specific effects of other Dominate powers. She must pay any Vitae cost for these powers as normal. These triggers remain in place for one week per success, or one month per success if the victim is in any stage of Vinculum towards the vampire. During that time, the effects of the trigger emerge each time the victim encounters the stimulus.

Dominate (3)

Passsive: +3 to Stamina (this can bring Stamina above the maximum and is added to the "normal" Stamina, and up to 3 aggrivated damage are reduced to Lethal (actually Bashing, because of Ascended coil). Active [one Vitae]: Either: Subtract 3 from a non-Bane source of damage (the damage still shows visually but is superficial, and can be healed completely the next time the Vampire slumbers), or reduce up to 3 Fire [or other non-Sunlight bane] damage. Again the reduced damage still shows, but doesn't look worse than it would for a human who took that damage.

Resilience

• Duration: Permanent (for persistent effects) or one turn (for

active effects)

• Persistent: Add the vampire’s dots in Resilience to his

Stamina. This may raise a character’s Stamina above the normal limits imposed by his Blood Potency. Whenever he is dealt aggravated damage, for each dot of Resilience he possesses, downgrade one point of aggravated damage to lethal. This applies to damage from fire and all acquired banes, but not sunlight. Resilience offers no reprieve from the sun’s blazing eye.

• Active: By spending Vitae a vampire can dismiss grievous

wounds, even those from banes. For each point of Vitae spent, choose one effect from the following list. A vampire may spend additional Vitae to invoke multiple effects simultaneously, but no effect of Resilience may be used more than once per turn. • Subtract his Resilience dots plus one from all non-bane sources of damage. Mechanically this is similar to armor, but does nothing to reduce the visual and superficial signs of injury. Removed damage appears to be dealt, but resisted wounds do not inhibit the vampire physically in any way, though in a social context they likely create some difficulties. All superficial wounds may be healed completely for one Vitae whenever he next slumbers.

Vigor

• Duration: Permanent (for persistent effects) or one turn (for

active effects).

• Persistent: Add the vampire’s dots in Vigor to her Strength.

This can raise her Strength above the normal limits imposed by her Blood Potency. Additionally, the vampire may make a Strength + Athletics roll to jump. The yards (meters) jumped are equal to (successes) * (Vigor dots + 1).

• Active: By spending Vitae a vampire can energize her dead muscles,

giving her a brief but substantial burst of strength. For each point of Vitae spent choose one effect from the following list. A vampire may spend additional Vitae to invoke multiple effects simultaneously, but no effect of Vigor may be used more than once per turn.

• Add her dots in Vigor as a weapon bonus to all Athletics,

Brawl, and Weaponry attacks made this turn. This puts enormous strain on weapons, especially those not intended for heavy hitting. Improvised weapons take one point of damage for every dot of Vigor over that tool’s durability whenever they are used in this manner.

Coils

Coil of the Ascendant

Surmounting the Daysleep [vtr 155]

A Dragon will not be held down by the distant rays of the dawning sun, nor made weak by its celestial body. So long as she benefits from the blush of life (p. 90) the Dragon need not roll to resist her daily slumber, nor will she gain the Lethargic Condition (p. 305) for remaining active during the day.

The Warm Face [vtr 156]

Before she can overcome the sun a Dragon must first make herself as she was when she walked beneath it. The blush of life now lasts 24 hours, instead of just one scene.

Conquer the Red Fear [vtr 156]

The uninitiated may fear the light, but the Dragon does not. A Dragon who has learned this Coil no longer risks frenzy from exposure to fire or sunlight (p. 103). She may stand next to a blazing bonfire or stare into the rising sun and retain total self control (though the latter will still be quite painful).

Peace with the Flame [vtr 156]

To conquer the bane of fire is one of the most significant victories a Dragon can achieve on her path to ascension. So long as she benefits from the blush of life she takes only lethal damage from fire, not aggravated. If she also has dots in the Resilience Discipline (p. 141) it further magnifies her endurance, with each dot reducing one point of fire damage from lethal to bashing

Oaths

(invictus merits)

• Oath of Fealty: This most basic Oath establishes a foundation of trust

within the Invictus. The vassal may draw a number of Vitae from his liege equal to his Invictus Status in a given week. This Vitae transfers mystically over any distance, and replenishes the vassal’s pool without risk of Vitae addiction or blood bond. The liege always knows if the vassal lies to her, in voice or in writing

Origin: Sheltered Elite (Rosalind)

• Networking (•) The character still knows people from back home, and sometimes they are willing to pass on information. The character gains a dot of Contacts pertaining to their Origin.
• Survival Skills (• •) The character learned more than a little growing up. How to find food, how to talk tough, maybe even how to shoot guns. They gain a free Specialty in both of their Origin’s Focus Skills. (Computers(Programming), Subterfuge(Misdirection)

• Relic of the Past (• • •) The character has access to a family heirloom, award of service, photograph, or other item representing their home, family, or friends left behind. Once per session, by concentrating on this item in reflection for five minutes, the character feels refreshed and regains a lost Willpower point.
  • House Rosalind pin sized for a child, well worn; contains usually powered, but inactive remote that can project a virtual avatar for an AI or similar entity.

• Trained Investment (• • • •) The character took their formative lessons to heart, and trained themselves in ways that were seen as valuable to their community. The character gains a free Skill Dot in both of their Origin’s Focus Skills.

• Lifer (• • • • •) The character has become the embodiment of what their Origin represents. Utilization of skills learned back home become second nature. The character gains the benefit of the 8-again rule on rolls involving their Focus Skills.

Merit Details

• Plugin: Cybernetically Implanted Device: High end computer, can be activated by thought, -2 pentalty on mundane discovery
• Plugin: Data Coprocessor: They gain a +3 modifier on all mundane extended challenges, such as Crafting, Surgery, Hacking, etc. They also receive an additional dice roll on an Extended Challenge, above their Attribute + Skill pool.
• Interdisciplenary Skill Specialty (Hacking): Can apply this specialty to any appropriate skill. (additionally this bonus is a +2 from a background detail)
• Untouchable: Because of methodical planning, rolls to investigate this character suffer the Incomplete Clue tag (COD 80) unless they achieve an exceptional success. [CoD 56]

Basic Vampire Stuff (reminders)

Vampire Senses (vtr 90)

Kindred do not suffer normal vision penalties for being in the dark, and can compensate with hearing. In full darkness, they only suffer a –2 die penalty to rolls that require vision. If they encounter traces of blood, even if dried or hidden (in a carpet, for example), they immediately see even very small quantities.

Vampire hearing becomes similarly enhanced. They can hear heartbeats at three yards or meters per dot of Blood Potency. Upon Embrace, a vampire’s sense of smell attunes to the scent of blood.

A vampire can smell the presence of blood from about ten yards or meters per dot of Blood Potency without rolling. Multiply this range by her Auspex dots. If she’s tasted a particular human’s blood, she can add her Blood Potency to any rolls to track him by scent.

Kindred blood does not offer this advantage, since it’s mostly old, dead, and its smell is a blend of all the vampire’s recent victims. If any of her Kindred senses apply, add her Blood Potency to any rolls to detect hidden people or details by the traces of blood

Experience Log

Expression+2 (from 0) (4)

• Worked with Pricely trying to make an improved version of the brochure. In the end, we ended up throwing out all my ideas and keeping it the same, but it was an experience.
• Wrote letters to the editor of Eden City's major "paper" talking about how the mayor needs to do more to stop the track down the firethorn attacks, intimating that they may be based on human agency, not randomness.

+1 to Blood Potency. (5)

• Hit 50. (around 35 years of being a vampire). 35 hit back with a point of blood potency. Feels great, except, at this rate I'm going to be down to kindred blood all too soon.

+4 dots of Origin: Elite (4)

• Took a vacation under an assumed identity (B Rosalynd would be a bit too concpicious) to spend time with the family. Share their frustration with the new head, but reminded of why I like my folks.
• Spent time networking with the family around the matter of the new cousin.
• Engaged in a Remote Hackday to duplicate the main product of a competitor (and jackass). Open sourced the result anonymously. Doing good but also gaining an advantage; what's their loss is our gain (and a lot of other people's, but who can be a better shark than a Rosalynd? Well, a vampire Rosalynd, that's who).

+1 Resolve (4) (to 4)

• Spent a bunch of time at boring Invictus meetings

+1 Composure (4) (to 4)

• Dealt with the Karve crew without frenzying. Much.
