fabio paroli – Blades in the Dark G+ Archives

Hi all, i have a question about mechanics.

if i push myself they stack togheder?

i take this from the cutter

Not to be Trifled With: You can push yourself to do one of the following: perform a feat of physical force that verges on the superhuman—engage a small gang on equal footing in close combat.

And this from the lurk

The Devil’s Footsteps: When you push yourself, choose one of the following additional benefits: perform a feat of athletics that verges on the superhuman—maneuver to confuse your enemies so they mistakenly attack each other.

When you push yourself to activate this ability, you still get one of the normal benefits of pushing yourself (+1d, +1 effect, etc.) if you’re making a roll, in addition to the special ability.

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
