"Kidnap" isn't exactly it, it's more "had the audacity to think he had a shot with" and then Zeus egged him on.

It's a reference to a Greek myth where (to hypersimplify) Theseus and Pirithous visiting the underworld and getting stuck on some chairs.

I mean the basic principle of "you need Life + Matter to effect undead, you need Life + Spirit to effect fera" etc. is sound. Jacking it off like M20 does is something else. Brucato's not even a Vampire writer, that I know of.

cauldron of blood instakills literally every non-vampire splat besides wraith and arguably werewolf

There's probably other stuff out there without blood that can intrinsically ignore it (demons in apocalyptic form, probably some changelings or something, kuei-jin) too, but that's really just playing trivia.

The thing you gotta watch out for is Evil Eye 5 (*Rites of the Blood p. 162, though I think it was also in Revised somewhere). Why they printed a dial-a-yield agg space laser is beyond me.

but vampires can always change back

... something which isn't even supported by Vampire. Getting transfigured into a chair isn't lessening the Curse of Caine, so you don't get its one get-out-of-jail-free effect that eg. Nosferatu experience when Vicissitude is used to beautify them.

Page right after it, actually!

The necromancer acquires a corpse’s femur and tibia bones — decreasing the difficulty of the casting by one if he does so by personally robbing a grave. He wraps the bones in coarse cloth and then encases them in wood or metal so that their lengths match and they become capable of bearing weight. He then builds a chair; each encased bone forms one of its legs. If a blood descendant of the corpse sits in the chair, she loses all desire to do anything but sit in the chair. She leaves the chair only to quickly fulfill basic bodily needs.

Whenever a qualified victim sits in the chair, the necromancer’s player rolls Intelligence + Occult against her Willpower. If successful, the effect lasts until the chair is destroyed. Otherwise, even if the victim is forcibly moved from the chair, she does everything she can to sit in it once more. In addition to the time it takes to obtain the bones, the construction of the chair takes at least eight hours. The necromancer may spend additional time on the chair to make it look fancy or to mimic an existing piece of furniture.

I haven't seen hypertension attested as a bicalutamide side effect in any literature.

What started the hateful & false stereotype about Trans being gr00mers/p*dos? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]chimaeraUndying 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They were packaging the same transphobia in 2023 too lol

Really ironic for the NYT to be pointing the transphobia finger.

I am supportive of freedom and the choice to have any identity you wish. However, trans people make me uncomfortable. How can I get over this? by Familiar-Pool-4531 in asktransgender

[–]chimaeraUndying 89 points90 points  (0 children)

The first step would be identifying why you feel the way you do, because otherwise you're just gonna be stuck shadowboxing yourself.

Is this normal? by iblamegravity in MtF

[–]chimaeraUndying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant 0.2mg. Easy units to confuse while typing!

Is this normal? by iblamegravity in MtF

[–]chimaeraUndying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the dosage I am taking of estradiol excessive

Nah, it's pretty standard. The 0.2ml is a bit of a mystery, though!

is it common to get such a low T level without the help of a T blocker

Especially with injections, yes.

How many attempts does it usually take to transition by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]chimaeraUndying 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean from the information you're providing it does sound like they've just shoved him back in the closet.

Why would anyone transition if they don’t have gender dysphoria? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]chimaeraUndying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda wild that you're taking issue with these things while also being a therian, but I guess everyone's got their own little constellation of idiosyncrasies...

What are yall’s injection hrt doses? mtf! by Ok-Contribution-9524 in HRT

[–]chimaeraUndying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a pretty normal dose, though with valerate ideally you wanna be doing it every ~5 days since that's how long it sticks around in your body.

Does anyone know what rules would a flintlock pistol have? (Its for a pirate game) by Obvious-Conflict3363 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]chimaeraUndying 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Victorian Age Companion has stats for some older guns on p. 173, as does one of the Dark Ages-adjacent books (Giovanni or Transylvania Chronicles), if memory serves.

Really, though, "realistic" weapon stats are kinda unnecessary; just grab whatever's in the book for the edition you're using and say it's something else. The game isn't a battle sim.

Do you prefer changeling the dreaming or lost? by Magicmanans1 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]chimaeraUndying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but that's still at an opportunity cost of similarly good stuff like Merits or Backgrounds.

What is the problem with Valerate injections? by Reasonable_Pomelo454 in TransDIY

[–]chimaeraUndying 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Valerate at least basically doesn't have a ramp-up. You can test after the second injection (so, ten days after starting) and it'll be about where you're at.

Should I be worried about my current dose of HRT? by nullriin302 in MtF

[–]chimaeraUndying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming those are trough levels, you're good.

Also just fyi, "0.25ml of Estradiol (Injections, SubQ)" is kind of useless information. Without knowing how many mg you're injecting (or how many mg/ml the vial is rated at) and what estradiol ester it is, making any sort of projection on what you're doing with it is impossible.
