General

  • Allies: One NPC per dot, or fewer but more powerful NPCs
  • Contacts: One major NPC per dot, plus some minor NPCs (need not be detailed in advance)
  • Mentor: The more dots, the more powerful they are
  • Retainers/Followers: One NPC per dot

  • Influence dots can be allocated to multiple areas via +note (e.g. 3 total = 2 media + 1 criminal)
  • See Influence for much more detail on how to use this background
"Alternate Identity (background)"
Dot-filled.png Fake driver's license
Dot-filled.pngDot-filled.png One supporting document
Dot-filled.pngDot-filled.pngDot-filled.png Reasonable set of supporting documents
Dot-filled.pngDot-filled.pngDot-filled.pngDot-filled.png Established identity
Dot-filled.pngDot-filled.pngDot-filled.pngDot-filled.pngDot-filled.png Fully supported identity with history, government documentation, alibis and witnesses

The Alternate Identity background (1 to 5 dots, The Bitter Road 113) is for presenting an alternate identity to mortal society. Mundane research into the supporting paperwork requires Intelligence + Investigation vs (3 + background level) to identify it as fake.

The Alternate Identity merit (3 dots, Guide to the Camarilla 76) is for presenting an alternate identity to a supernatural faction.

You may not need either of these. See '+rules alternate identity' for full details.
