| + | ===== Blood Bond ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The book is ambiguous on the matter of fading blood bonds. The following house rules are in force: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <block quote> | ||
| + | * Blood Bond 1: Fades away naturally in about 1 month | ||
| + | * Blood Bond 2: Fades away naturally in about (8 - Willpower) months, with a minimum of 3 months | ||
| + | * Blood Bond 3: Does not fade away naturally. The Blood bond can be broken after (12 - Willpower) months, with a minimum of 6. Breaking a bloodbond requires physical and emotional distance from the domitor. | ||

| + | |||
| + | ==== MDMA/XTC ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The vampire feels that all is right and good with the world, as well as emotional closeness to others, and common everyday things may seem to be abnormally beautiful or interesting. Difficulties of frenzy rolls are decreased by one, due to the calming effect of the drug. He gains two extra dice in Empathy. He gains the Toreador clan weakness, Toreador vampires raise difficulty by 2. These effects last for two hours. | ||

| - | ==== Resources ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Despite the historical use of the Deutsche Mark in 1991 Berlin, we will use the Euro currency. To allow for simpler estimations of the worth of money, we have corrected the amounts mentioned in the Resources background. This correction takes into account the publication date of the source book (1998), corrects for changes in purchasing power over the years (including inflation) and converts the amounts from USD to EUR. | ||
| - | |||
| - | After correction and rounding for readability, the resource ratings listing becomes: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <block quote> | ||
| - | :1/0: **Small savings**: a small apartment and maybe a motorcycle. If liquidated, you would have about €1,200 in cash. Allowance of €600 a month.\\ | ||
| - | :2/0: **Middle class**: an apartment or condominium. If liquidated, you would have at least €9,300 in cash. Allowance of €1,400 a month.\\ | ||
| - | :3/0: **Large savings**: a homeowner or someone with some equity. If liquidated, you would have at least €58,000 in cash. Allowance of €3,500 a month.\\ | ||
| - | :4/0: **Well-off**: a member of the upper class. You own a very large house, or perhaps a dilapidated mansion. If liquidated, you would have at least €580,000 in cash. Allowance of €10,500 a month.\\ | ||
| - | :5/0: **Ridiculously affluent**: a multimillionaire. Your haven is limited by little save your imagination. If liquidated, you would have at least €5,800,000 in cash. Allowance of €35,000 a month. | ||

| + | ===== Merits & Flaws ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Anachronism ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | The original mechanic mentioned in this flaw's source does not work with our new dice mechanic. Because of this we have rewritten the flaw. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <block quote> | ||
| + | //(2 point flaw)// | ||
| + | |||
| + | You have been a vampire for some time, and are unable (or unwilling) to keep up with the changing times. your attempts. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Whenever you have to deal with technology from a later period than your own breathing days, you take a +2 to the difficulty. If the difficulty is above 10, you cannot use the technology at all. Example: Osric, a fifth-century Goth by birth, has this Flaw and is attempting to deal with a computer. Osric now has an increased difficulty when determining the outcome of his attempt to make the infernal machine cooperate. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that characters with this Flaw will generally have been vampires for longer than the 50 years suggested in Vampire, so Storytellers should decide whether or not to allow this Flaw in their chronicles. | ||

| + | ===== Personality Archetypes: Nature and Demeanor ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Balancer ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Balancer looks for compromise whenever she is caught between conflicting interests. These can be her own interests, those of her clan, her coterie, her Prince, or any other person or organisation that the Balancer cares to remain in good standing with. To the Balancer the best result is that which all parties find acceptable. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Regain a point of Willpower whenever a conflict of interest you are directly involved in is resolved in a way that leaves all relevant parties content, though not necessarily exuberant, with the outcome. Parties whose opinion does not matter to the Balancer are not considered relevant. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Insecure ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | An Insecure person believes that they are inferior to others, a failure and generally a worthless person. Whatever accomplishment they make is not due to their own input, but due to others or simple luck, whatever failures they endure are entirely of their own making. Insecure people often need constant confirmation from others. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Regain a point of Willpower whenever your belief in your own inferiority is confirmed by others. | ||
