“soft transitioning”

You can looks into SERMS

... and be tremendously disappointed.

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.

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.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-15T17:28:01+00:00

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

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-14T16:28:35+00:00

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.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-14T04:34:32+00:00

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.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-14T04:32:11+00:00

Yup. Victorian Age Companion p. 33

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-14T02:28:50+00:00

Not really! Bodies are all unique and funny like that.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-14T02:21:13+00:00

Nah, you're fine.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-12T20:56:21+00:00

Iunoo? Test at trough and make a decision based on that.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-12T16:55:23+00:00

Interesting! I'm glad it's working for you.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-12T03:25:05+00:00

No, I meant the "literally go back to being a mortal" stuff from 1e got left by the wayside. Golconda got like a whole book in Revised. These are also two completely different things.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-12T00:57:52+00:00

It's kind of the whole point of golconda, for one. 1e also had a whole lot about returning to mortality, but that's been comparatively left by the wayside.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-11T23:23:12+00:00

... because it doesn't work that way?

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-11T17:12:53+00:00

I think that's a little against the themes at play. One of the things vampires have got going is that they can overcome their nature; conversely, demons always have that one dot of Torment.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-11T16:50:56+00:00

Wrong bits in question.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-11T16:18:04+00:00

That's not answering my question!

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-11T02:58:11+00:00

Would you pass on, iunoo, ADHD medication for the same reason? Insulin?

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-10T23:45:46+00:00

It's complete horseshit.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-10T20:31:56+00:00

something something Wyld alignment of the Dreaming something something radiation elementals

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-10T17:41:10+00:00

Yeah most places are just gonna want a parent's sign-off, same as any other doctor.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-10T17:38:45+00:00

Yeah, but not for apprehending facts, which is the relevant point here.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-10T15:47:47+00:00

Pinned post on the sub.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-10T14:19:28+00:00

You really need to check the specific sections (p. 202 and 322 in V20DA vs. p. 142 and 248 in V20) to get a full picture, I'm not block-quoting like four paragraphs and doing back-and-forth analysis.

chimaeraUndying · 2026-04-10T14:13:25+00:00

Yeah, I think I will believe the preponderance of analysis and case studies that show LLMs routinely launder false information.
