It's starting to get brisk as the sun goes down, but the last happy hour of the year is starting outside with one of my favorite hefes (accompanied by schnitzel and spaetzel).

My favorite VtM storyteller did that. You can give your human whatever stats you want... ... and whatever embraces you will balance it out (in terms of generation and support and the like).

Laborious [as in effort requiring] vs. Difficult [as in skill requiring]? As in hard work vs. a hard subject. For a hard class it wouldn't be clear which was meant? (Tons of busy work with picky grading, or a class in a complicated, difficult to understand subject).
