QUESTION ABOUT VAMPIRE
HI all! , I have several question about vampire.
STRICTURES:
SLUMBER : In downtime, you must spend one activity resting in a dark, silent place (or else suffer 3 stress).
the stress is taken when I declare my downtime action? Or when the downtime is ended? In the first case I can soak the stress , in the second each time I start with 3 stress more (if I not take the rest)
BOUND : Your spirit must remain in this body, or be destroyed.
So if I die without this flaw my character turn in to ghost playbook ? And can make again the process to become again a vampire?
BESTIAL: When you suffer physical harm or overindulge your vice, your body twists into a horrific bestial form until you next feed without overindulging.
I read about this in another discussion but just to be sure my character turn in to were-bat or similar? Or i am still humanoid but with several feral feature like full red eyes, claws, even more long teeth etc.. anyway I think it’s only the body so my mind stand still “human”
REPELLED : Spiritbane charms can hold you at bay. (Take 2 stress to resist the repulsion.)
Here is pretty simple , but how much is grievous the repulsion and how much far it go a room or more? I must see the “trinket” or I just “feel it”? Or it must imposed to me like a holy crucifix?
TRAIT:
TERRIBLE POWER: Take 1 stress to perform a feat of superhuman strength or speed (run faster than a carriage, break stone with bare hands, leap onto the roof of a building, etc.). This factors into effect.
is this automatic feat? or after take stress I need to do a roll with the relative attribute? Is a push yourself too like in other playbook?
OVERINDULGE: Tapped. Your current purveyor cuts you off. Find a new source for your vice.
I can take this from the list? I don’t think there is a purveyor who sell blood ^^
ITEMS (vampire): Fine “personal” weapon
I intend a weapon crafted for my desire like a pair of Qatar (blade fist weapon) or similar, I’m wrong?
GENERAL: if my character die maybe at half chronicle I must restart from 0 or I can hold the XP to be pair with the other player characters ?
There is a ritual to make a hollow corpse? Because can’t find the specific
The answer to most of those is: they are vague for a reason. You and the GM should decide together what your bestial form looks like, how the compulsion of spirit bane charms affects you, etc.
I’m interested to more opinion from the people , anyway thx for your opinion ^^
Slumber – Good question, I don’t know.
Bound – You’re correct
Bestial – You decide
Repelled – Your group should decide. If you asked me I’d probably say someone holding up a charm can hold you off a dozen or so feet
Terrible Power – You still need to roll
Overindulge – I probably wouldn’t pick this one, but you could. For example, you could say the spirit wardens have gotten a lock of your hair and now the deathseeker crows flock to you when you hunt, making it too dangerous to feed. Start a clock to fix that.
Items – sounds fine
General – I’m not 100% what you’re asking, but it sounds like maybe you want to know how many action dots and abilities a new character starts with when joining a gang that has been going for awhile. Your group should decide, but there is no problem with either method.
You need to make up your own ritual to hollow a corpse.
thanks for your advice ^_^
I’m still open to more opinion / advice 🙂
