Primogen	7	Vampire	You are part of the ruling coterie of vampires in the city in which you reside. Your voice is one of the few to which the prince must listen, and you have tremendous influence in your clan. On the other hand, there are always others plotting to take your place, making your position a precarious one.
Primogen Friendship	4	Vampire	The ruling council of the city values you and your opinions. You are called in to consult on decisions, and your recommendations carry great weight. Your positions may not be an official one, but it’s powerful nonetheless.
Sabbat Survivor	1	Vampire	You’ve lived through at least one Sabbat attack and /or attempted recruitment. Your experience helps you anticipate situations where you might potentially be endangered by the Sabbat once again. You are at -1 difficulty on all Perception rolls when it comes to Sabbat based matters. This Merit comes into play most frequently as a means of avoiding ambushes and the like.
Sheriff's Friend	2	Vampire	For whatever reason (maybe your winning smile or perhaps just your superb groveling technique), the local head lawman likes you. He’s inclined to overlook your minor trespasses and lets you in on things you’re not supposed to know about. He even gives you warnings about occasional crackdowns and times when the prince isn’t feeling generous. Of course, abusing this connection might well turn a friendly sheriff into an enemy - and the change might not be apparent until it’s too late.
Spirit Sight	4	Supernatural	You can see and hear all varieties of spirits, changelings, wraiths and similar entities. This Merit provides all of the advantages granted by the Merit Medium. Like the Medium Merit, Spirit Sight reduces the difficulties of all Spirit magic by two. Nevertheless, this ability is a mixed blessing. Seeing these beings is not a choice; it is a normal part of your vision. You cannot help but see them. Being yelled at by an irate wraith who is shaking her fist in your face can be extremely distracting if you are attempting to hold a conversation with a Sleeper, and it's even worse if you are driving a car in bad weather!

Kinfolk	4	Human/Mage/Ghoul/Vampire	Synopsis: You are related (Biologically) to a shifter tribe of some type. System: ? Notes: Possessed characters do not use this. They purchase the power "Skinchanger Kinship" instead. Book Ref: ?
Double-Jointed	1	Physical	Synopsis: You are atypically limber! System: -2 difficulty of any dexterity roll involving body flexibility. Notes: Cannot take Lame flaw. Book Ref: The Wild West Companion, Pg. 68
Good Right-Left Hook	1	Physical	Synopsis: You, Rocky Balboa and Mike Tyson all have one thing in common: you all hit as hard as a brick!! System: +2 dice to damage for any brawl-based attack. Notes: Book Ref: Hunter Players Guide, Pg. 168
Huge Size	4	Physical	Synopsis: You're massive! Possibly over seven feet tall, and 400 pounds in weight. System: You get one additional health level, and are able to suffer more harm before incapacitated. Notes: Book Ref: Changeling Player's Guide, Pg. 33
Insensible To Pain	5	Physical	Synopsis: Hey, crack head! That's a sword that just pierced your gut! Oh. You knew, but you just didn't care. Right then, carry on. System: You ignore all wound penalties until your character is finally killed. Notes: Book Ref: Mage: The Ascension (revised), Pg. 288
Animal Magnetism	1	Social	Synopsis: You have that special kind of way with other people that makes them want to fuck you. System: -2 difficulty on seduction and similar rolls. Notes: Book Ref: Wild West Companion, Pg. 63

Enchanting Voice	2	Social	Synopsis: There is something about your voice that others cannot ignore. System: The difficulties of all die rolls involving the use of the voice to persuade, charm or command are reduced by two. Notes: None. Book Ref: Vampire the Masquerade, Pg 296
Feral Appearance	1	Social	Synopsis: There's something about you that drives woofs wild (the good kind of wild, that they like you. Not the kind involving them wanting to rip your head clean off ... necessarily). System: +1 to rolls to Appearance when dealing with homid Garou, and you are considered having an extra dot of Charisma among lupus Garou. Notes: None. Book Ref: Kinfolk Unsung Heroes, Pg. 54
Friendly Face	1	Social	Synopsis: You've got a recognizable face that reminds people of someone else, or simply use it as an excuse to get to know you. System: -1 difficulty on appropriate social rolls (Seduction, for example, but not intimidation). Only usable on first meeting. Notes: Book Ref: Guide to the Camarilla, Pg. 73
Gall	2	Social	Synopsis: You ain't afraid of nobody! You'll tell it like it is, beating down the man's doors and anybody else. You represent! System: +1 die to any social roll involving a display of backbone. Notes: Book Ref: Kinfolk Unsung Heroes, Pg. 52
