Notes:
Book Ref: Changeling: The Dreaming, Core Rulebook, P. 166

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!
Strength of Shadows 4 Vampire Synopsis:Allows the Lasombra who possesses this Merit to strengthen the shadows he calls so that even daylight will not immediately dispel them.


System: The Strengthened shadows dissipate after four hours in the sun
Notes: ?
