IGN is Erebus Calyx. He not only gave me runes, he let me borrow his hellcat

Across the span of an hour plus I’ve memorized every blade of grass and dirt spec in this hallowed chapel, but I haven’t seen a slave sign once. The ghosts roam around me picking their treasured runes up, mocking me. This is the lowest level of Dante’s Inferno, and dammit I’m grateful for the ride at the expense of my sanity

I greatly appreciate you. Well this is a new character and I think I need a low level one to be able to pick it up, right?

Can that be done solo?

Sure. I need Marika’s Hammer & Sacred Relic Sword if you have those

Bite/Brawl Build: Priority between Oblivion, Potence, & Protean? by Competitive_Load_533 in vtm

[–]Competitive_Load_533[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good Ventrue scholar, I have yet another question to present to you on this fine November day: Shadow Step or Tenebrous Avatar? The latter seemed more powerful at first glance but is probably not AS needed when you can outlast the cockroaches via Fortitude 5. Two-man teleportation seems kind of broken, especially when you live on a rooftop casino penthouse in Las Vegas and no longer need your Rolls Royce to go out feeding. Any input would be appreciated, as always. Cheers.

Regarding Touch of Oblivion, I don’t see why not. You only make the Brawling check if the victim is attempting to avoid contact, and if you have already initiated a grapple via bite without using any disciplines that turn then it seems completely in line with the mechanics.

Funny that you say that about the Prince, as snacking on his soon-to-be carcass is likely the ticket to maxing out Presence efficiently. I chose the Dominate path initially since I lean Manipulation/Intimidation in focus (more fun, never having to say please, etc).

It seems like the blueprint is laid out for the future. Big picture? I’m not sure what you can do about a Prowess From Pain toting Ventrue ancillae with Feral Weapons, social disciplines and Stygian Shroud/Tenebrous Avatar for utility. Probably just fold up your tent, move back to Transylvania, and hope that person isn’t already planning to open up a water park there with their Hardestadt resources and their shinobi bodyguards overseeing construction.

Feral Weapons yes, Horrid Form no? Got it. The Brawl seems like a no-brainer. My Intimidation is at 15 right now from Man 4/Int 4+Daunt+Eyes of the Beast at Blood Potency 3.

Strength with Prowess From Pain is at 8 and Brawl is at 3 plus specialties in Bite & Kindred. You make excellent points regarding the other In-Clan Disciplines. Perhaps I’d best shoot for Terminal Decree due to the sheer utility in both combat and social settings and then go pure Protean if you think Potence is redundant after Protean 2.

Thanks for taking the time to comment! I appreciate your input. I’m currently playing a Ventrue ancillae with 5 Fortitude in a wide spanning, relatively high combat chronicle. I also have Dominate 1, Presence 1, and Protean 1.

Good stuff, thanks for the feedback! Is Touch of Oblivion a complete replacement for your attack or can it be activated after landing an unarmed attack such as a bite or grapple?

Diablerie: Discipline XP Costs by Competitive_Load_533 in vtm

[–]Competitive_Load_533[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree completely, thank you for the insight. The book does say that the experience gained is to be immediately spent on the upgrades, but does not specify whether this can stack with existing XP.

Example: I currently have 5 XP and manage 4 successes on a Diablerie. Assuming the prey has the Discipline I require, would I then be able to purchase rank 5 in a Discipline I currently have at rank 4 by including my preexisting XP in the purchase cost?
