Also, being paranoid about the 'businessmen' out to get him, Steeple will have buried a variety of hidden cache's throughout the region.
Caches would contain gold and silver coins mostly, but also a few pieces of jewelry and the occasional weapon, piece of armor, or fancy children's toy.
Mostly, I'm doing this so that Steeple still has a plausible reason for high Resources once we get to the modern age, being able to pose as a treasure hunter to recover rare coins and artifacts from ancient times.
So a Wits Specialty might be like Lightning Reflexes? Or Hard to Surprise?
If so, I'll take Hard to Surprise.
So... this went dead?
So confused. XD
It's not unimportant! I need that information to know who my character is!
Or are you saying none of that background shit actually matters once the game starts, so just write down whatever? XD
I kind of need to know what relationship I have with my sire; If I've been working for him for seven years, I can't just start playing not knowing if we're friendly or hostile, or indifferent or what.
I'm calling it Byzantium in my backstory, don't worry. I just thought it was interesting that they didn't actually call themselves that.
I mean, think about like, if you found out that a thousand years from now, where you live is known as "North American," and they think of Canada and the Caribbean as all being part of the American Empire.
So, I auto get Latin with my Academics (theology) skill?
Wait, could I get 4 languages with a 3 in linguistics, or 3?
What is the "default" language? Romanian?
So, Slavonic can understand Romanian at diff 8,
Romanian is at diff 8 to understand Vlach, right?
So can Slavonic understand Vlach? Does Lucien speak Vlach, since he's tzimisce?
Make sense. Probably take Arabic.
Unimportant stuff that Seth is reading about instead of finishing his character sheet.
You mean, Jews to humans, right?
I mean in all of Bulgaria. It's a common name.
There's prolly lots of ppl named dragomir.
Makes sense.
Armor
Once your players know that brigands on the road might use firearms, their natural reaction might be to buy some armor. Roleplaying games tend to have extremely liberal attitudes regarding its use. In many fantasy roleplaying games, for instance, the thought of heroes stomping mail day and night is accepted as normal. To address the aspirations of players who prefer their characters to walk about like two-legged tanks, we should make two points regarding the use of plate mail. In answer to the first question players have: Yes, plate mail is period. In answer to the second question: No, most players really won’t want their characters to use it.
During this period, full plate is used as early as the beginning of the 15th century – it is typically employed by knights on horseback traveling to war. For a creature of the night, any pretense of subtlety is lost once he begins wandering the woods of Transylvania late at night girded to the teeth for an all-out assault on a neighboring domain.
For a Cainite in plate mail, Dexterity and Perception Dice Pools are reduced by 3. Movement is drastically hindered. Even Cainites using Celerity are slowed considerably. Stealth is impossible without the use of Disciplines; wearing plate mail increases the difficulty of Stealth rolls by 2. Chainmail offers three extra dice for soaking damage with considerably less encumbrance; plate mail provides five dice, but is not worth the trouble.
The sight of a warrior in full-plate riding into a domain can be taken as a hostile gesture, and may result in an immediate counterattack. If you’ve played Dark Ages, you’ve probably already conditioned your players to not bring polearms into taverns or draw ballistae through small towns. The same guideline applies here.
Is there any way I can speed it up without requiringly an equally long amount of time in corrections?
rabies.
I thought that was part of the contagion flaw was that anyone you fed on got sick? If that's the case then wouldn't they definitely catch the disease from actually ingesting your blood?
Erm for Str:
Throwing heavy things?
Moving heavy objects ie. To drop on people?
Jumping further?
Was trying to work out why the colours hadn't copied lol
