House Rules/Ghoul

House Rules Ghoul "Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood." -Friedrich Nietzsche

Domitor All ghouls must have Domitor set on their sheet. This may be set to "NPC". It is recommended (but not required) that Ghoul PCs have an off-stage, statless NPC domitor. Discipline level is limited by Domitor (Background) regardless of PC or NPC domitor (WW2021/71). Domitor (Background):0-3: Each discipline is limited to 1 dot Domitor (Background):4: Each discipline is limited to 2 dots Domitor (Background):5: Each discipline is limited to 3 dots Domitor (Background) can be purchased like any other background. Unlike canon, Domitor (Background) is not tied to the domitor's Generation. This is so that ghouls with either a PC or NPC domitor are on equal footing. Embrace Disciplines are retained when a Ghoul is embraced. However, if the Ghoul has dots in a restricted discipline and Clan changes, those dots must be moved into a Common or clan-appropriate Proprietary or Restricted discipline. e.g. Bob is a Ghoul of Clan:Samedi with Thanatosis:2. Through a cruel twist of fate he's embraced Clan:Toreador. Bob must remove his Thanatosis:2 and take a discipline like Celerity:2 or Obfuscate:2 If Bob were embraced into Clan:Followers of Set, he would be able to take Serpentis:2 Ghoul (verb) For regular Mortals (ie, not Mortal+), getting ghouled IC is free. Other splats must purchase the Ghoul 5-point merit. Ghouls via merit have effective 3 in each virtue for purposes of things like frenzy checks. The following are capable of being ghouled: Race:Mortal Race:Mortal+/Sorcerer-Psychic (Post-chargen only) Race:Mortal+/Possessed (Type:Fomor, Type:Kami) Post-chargen and PC-Domitor only for Type:Kami, and even then only for Kami with human or animal host bodies (you can't ghoul plants). Ghouling a Kami will permanently put the Domitor at risk 3 towards everyone with Faction:Gaian that finds out about the transgression. An IC post will be made by staff to Gaian BBoards to represent the spirits TELLING all locals of Faction:Gaian what happened and who did it. You have been warned.) Fomor Ghouls are nearly unaffected by the Blood Bond unless they have high Autonomy, and they tend to frenzy a lot. Powerful, but unstable. Race:Mortal+/Kinain Race:Mortal+/Kinfolk See Also: Cgen, Buying Disciplines, XP Costs Miscellaneous All ghouls must have Clan set on their sheet. Upon becoming a ghoul (Cgen or IC), the Ghoul gets Potence:1, and 1 dot of an in-clan discipline. If Potence IS an in-clan discipline, and the ghoul has at least 4 points in the Domitor background, they can put both dots into Potence if they so desire. Ghouls may not have Thaumaturgy. Ghouls may have the Potent Blood flaw (gain 2 blood by drinking 1 of theirs), but it cuts both ways (must feed them 2 blood for them to gain 1).
