Removing a point from either or both Perception and Intelligence and putting into Wits (for 3 or 4 Wits), will help you win initiative more consistently but will make your defense against some abilities weaker. So if someone is a troublesome target to hit due to high celerity and dodge, you just dreadgaze them until they don't have that much resistance against your attacksДЇor flavour, you can change 1 or 2 apperance into charisma, that makes presence 3 weaker, but makes presence 2 stronger Presence 2 is can be used as extended action, rather than to just scare people off, it is keyed off Charisma + Intimidation (6 dice) and difficulty is targets Wits+Courage, each success takes off 1 dice from any dice pool of any rolls they are attempting to perform, as they get paralyzed from fear of you. If your GM plays with the optional rule of automatic 1 success (much like take 10) if your dice pool exceeds the difficulty instead of rolling, it is a sure fire way to make almost any opponent put your back down their permanent willpower and a single success is enough to make them entranced with you for an hour, which compels them to do what you request due to loving/admiring feelings towards you. The roll for Presence 3 is Apperance + Empathy, which is why both of those are at 4, giving you 8 dice vs.

Presence 3 helps disable troublesome opponents, for instance if a thaumaturge user decides to levitate you up into the air and hold you helpless, entrance the person and ask them to put you down Then chop them to a bloody pulp before they get to act again. round to keep celerity going, if the combat is easy, think about resource management and go without celerity, but always start with celerity until you can determine a given opponents difficulty Pretty straight forward hack'n'slash build, pump 1 blood into celerity and 2 into dex at the start of combat, to get 6 rounds and 6 temporary dex for the rest of the scene (combat), then cut away with your sword or punches at the enemy with massive damage due to potence making up for the low strength (which makes the attribute points better spend in dexterity (hit chance) and stamina (soak) than strength, as those are not helped by disciplines) Up to 2 dots of disciplines may be out of clan Just thoughts, might change my mind entirely soon.ДЄttributes вЂ“ (7/5/3) +2 that cannot be in the same setДЄbilities вЂ“ (17/13/9) +2 dots/set in secondariesД«ackgrounds вЂ“ 12 (5 must be in Generation), Will be Generation 8 then I believe. So I figured I could play an assassine-y-type character, or maybe a bodyguard for one of my buddies. Basically: I'm not here I'm not here I'm not here YOU'RE DEAD! Again, this is a much more hack-and-slash game, less story, and we're trying to take over a city. Probably wielding a large two-handed sword. Right now the Disciplines I'm leaning toward would be good Celerity, Potence, Obfuscate, maybe some Fortitude. No Sabbat, can be Independant if we want though. I'm getting a copy of the book today, and will soon be spending many an hour reading up. For those who were trying to help me last week in the thread I started, here's what we can apply to our starting character.
