Latest revision as of 06:39, 21 October 2024
For many stats, this gives a quick explanation of what it is, how it works, which book's version we use, and whether it has any house rules.
On the mush, commands are:
- +explain View list of entries
- +explain <stat> View specific entry
** Note: Any entry listed here with parenthesis around a word (i.e.: merit, background), that is required to access this same information on game. When you use +explain to see the list on game, the parenthesis disappear due to the code. All the list of entries here should be the correct verbiage for how to also access it on game.

Worse still, those mortals who are of less savory nature will choose you over other potential targets for their illicit acts."
References: |
Blood
|
For vampires, ghouls, and Ananasi, this is a power pool. For others, this is how much blood they could potentially drain out of you. For many more details on the subject, see House Rules - Blood.
|
Cat-like Balance
|
1-dot merit giving -2 difficulty on balance-related rolls (e.g. Dexterity + Athletics to walk along a narrow ledge).
|
Chantry
|
Background, allows a group of mages/sorcerers/psychics to acquire group backgrounds more cheaply. See +rules chantry. Technocrats and other PCs use Home Base for same effect.
|
Code Of Honor
|
2-dot merit. +2 dice on any Willpower or virtue roll to obey or avoid disobeying your code. (This supersedes the older 1-dot merit that gave either +3 dice to you or +2 diff to your opponent.)
|

|
2 dot merit. When someone tries to mislead or intimidate you, your social rolls are -2 difficulty and theirs are +2 difficulty.
|
Conscience
|
Relevant for vampires/ghouls, demons, and mortals. Used to resist immoral behavior.

| ||||||||||||
Conviction
|
Relevant for vampires/ghouls on certain Paths of Enlightenment, and demons. Hunters should use Conviction (hunter) instead.
Vampires performing an action that /your/ Path of Enlightenment says is immoral, see +rules degeneration.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Courage
|
Relevant for vampires/ghouls, demons, and mortals. Used to resist fear.
Vampires facing sunlight or fire, see +rules rotschreck. Demons acting out of fear for their safety at the expense of others are similar: roll Courage vs 8, fail = gain 1 temporary Torment.
| ||||||||||||
Curiosity
|
THIS MERIT HAS BEEN UPDATED AS WE CONVERTED TO C20 2 pt General Psychological Flaw: You’re a naturally curious person, your curiosity easily overriding your common sense. To resist temptation, make a Willpower roll. The difficult varies based on the temptation; difficulty 5 for simple things like, “I wonder what’s in the armoire,” but difficulty 9 for things like, “I wonder why young men keep going missing around the baron’s freehold. I’ll just slip in and check it out.
References: |
Crack Shot
|
2 dot merit: Ranged attacks may target a specific location without the usual penalty, or add 1 die to the attack pool if no specific location is targeted.
|
Cult
|
For mages, this background provides multiple NPCs per dot (1 = 3-7; 2 = 8-12; 3 = 13-17; 4 = 18-22; 5 = 23-27), enough for +1 success per dot if you gather the entire cult for a ritual (added to the first Arete roll, assuming it gets at least one success on its own). They do not count as sleeper witnesses.
|
Demeanor
|
Archetype (+liststats archetypes).
See also +explain Nature.
|
Derangement
|
Possessed taint. Not available to drones, and less common for kami. 3 points for one, 2 more (total 5) for a second, 1 more (total 6) for a third. Set a +note describing the specific nature of your condition(s). The Possessed book lists several examples. You can spend a Willpower to clear your head somewhat, but only for one turn. Other types of PCs, see +explain Deranged instead.
|
Deranged
|
|
Discipline Prodigy
|
-1 difficulty (minimum 4) on all uses of one in-clan discipline.

|
Dual Perception
|
2-dot merit. Lets you temporarily turn off parts of Spirit Sight so you can concentrate better. See +rules spirit sight for details.
|
Dual Traditions
|
Your mage has been educated by two traditions. Most likely, he was a Hollow One who studied a bit of this and that, and found a couple things that made sense to him. Or, perhaps, he was Awakened by a teacher of one Tradition, but then studied under a different Master and experienced a second Epiphany through this new knowledge. For purposes of spending experience, the specialty Spheres of both Traditions come with the bonus (cheap) multiplier. Your character is more open-minded about foci as well, and he may use those of either Tradition. (The penalties for unique foci still apply.) If your mage loses his Hermetic showstone, for example, he has to go either about getting another one or rely solely on the props of his other Tradition.
|

It's almost impossible for you to look awkward, even when you screw up royally. Most people respect this talent, and even jealous folks have to at least admit you've got style. Reduce the difficulties of all Social rolls by two whenever there's a chance to make a really good impression. This doesn't apply to threats of brute force, although grace may be intimidating in its own way, and may offer a small bonus to <Cunning> or Honor renown."

Herd

You have built a group of mortals from whom you can feed without fear. A herd may take many forms, from circles of kinky clubgoers to actual cults built around you as a god-figure. In addition to providing nourishment, your herd might come in handy for minor tasks, although they are typically not very controllable, closely connected to you or even highly skilled (for more effective pawns, purchase Allies or Retainers). Your Herd rating adds dice to your rolls for hunting; see Dramatic Systems for further details. House rule: +rules dailies allows you to handwave an extra blood per night if you have Herd 3+.
|
Holdings
|
Changeling background, gives you a freehold with a balefire. See +rules holdings.

"You are in contact with certain humans or wolves who are descended from Garou without actually being werewolves themselves. While Kinfolk are normal members of their species in most respects, they have the advantage(?) of immunity to the Delirium. They know that you are Garou, and they are willing to help you however they can, although most are not in positions of power (such people are considered Allies). Networks of Kinfolk are a valuable way for werewolves to deal with the human world without risking frenzy or discovery."

|
Sadhana

|
Shifter Rank

|
Short
|
General/Physical 1 dot flaw: You are well below average height — four and a half feet (1.5 meters) tall or less. You have difficulty reaching or manipulating objects designed for normal adult size, and your running speed is one-half that of an average human. Garou only: Your diminutive height causes you problems, making it difficult to see over obstacles. Your Crinos form is proportionately smaller (and less intimidating). You are at a +2 difficulty to all pursuit rolls. You and your Storyteller need to keep your lack of stature in mind at all times. Occasionally, this Flaw can give you a concealment advantage. Note: This flaw cannot be bought off without extraordinary circumstances, and only at staff discretion.
|
Sin-eating
|
For shifters, this is a level 3 mystic rite, limited to Children of Gaia.

|
Spirit Network

Shifter background. Similar to Contacts, but for spirits. To learn about a specific event, spend several hours in the Umbra talking with different spirits (using Spirit Speech gift), then roll Spirit Network vs Gauntlet (no re-rolls). 1 success = vague rundown, 3+ = fairly complete (but still based on the mindset of the spirit, who may ignore things like finances or politics). May also justify whatever random gossip and minor secrets a ST feel like handing to the PC as plot hooks.
|
Spirit Sight (Merit)
|
4 dot merit, you see and hear chimera and wraiths and Umbral spirits constantly. See +rules spirit sight.
|

|
Strength Of Psyche
|
2-dot merit. May spend Mana to lower the difficulty of a mental action.
|
Surreal Beauty
|
THIS MERIT HAS CHANGED AS WE CONVERTED TO C20 You possess a beauty far beyond that of normal mortals, unsettling in its perfection. People stand in awe of your ideal yet alien, form while an inexplicable nausea subconsciously rises to the fore. Reduce the difficulty by three on any roll in which you try and acquire a changeling or faetouched individual's attention, or win them over with your looks. Other beings find your beauty unnatural, imposing a +1 difficulty on attempts at winning such a person's trust.

Surreal Quality

"Though the Mists still protect you from mortal detection, there is something about you that mortals find fascinating. At inappropriate times, they will stare at you and strike up conversations in the hopes of getting to know you better.
