(it might be there, somewhere - just point me to it and I can try to understand)- Also, why woudn't you talking to Jemal outside of the Forums be shocking?Do you know him IRL, or something? I'm ignorant of it...- Caitlyn's Demeanor : would perhaps Competitor or Perfectionist be a match?-[edit] Replying to Kitana's earlier comment:I am not having Nikolai know of Vychtorya at all before this starts.I am strongly against using her character  as a love interest - she is a story element to in the future hopefully start to bring him back from the dark side.The reason they are named the same (different spelling) is that my wife really wanted to name her character Vychtorya (complete with spelling <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />), while the inspiration for my character (as linked on my webpage) is Dream Theater's incredible album, Scenes From a Memory. The main character in the story is Nicholas, and his past-life soul-spirit that was murdered in a jealous brotherly tryst is named..  you guessed it.. Victoria.I even included sound-bytes of the songs on Nik's story page that closely illustrate the events of Nik's life.(I'm curious what people think of the multimedia-story)- Ashrem - For Nikolai, I think he'd be most involved with Qadir al-Asmai, the Sheriff, and of course Aisling Sturbridge, High Regent of the Chantry.He'd have spoke with Qadir about his background (Nikolai spent many years in the Middle East while Hunting and researching ancient tomes) and whether he's heard or seen The Heartsbane during his Hunts in the City.And I'd love to place 5 dots in Thaumaturgy, but have you seen the 5th level Discipline for Path of Blood?!It's close to useless - it would be great, except that Thaumaturgy powers require a blood point and a Willpower roll with a Difficulty of Power +3. (Difficulty 8 for level 5 ability)So even with Nikolai's 10 Willpower maxed out, Cauldron of Blood would at most gain on average around 1 or 2 successes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />It also requires a 'touch attack' (which I'm not sure exactly what that means, mechanically) AND they can still soak the damage!Any ideas how to make Cauldron of Blood a useable power?I've never actually used any Vampire powers in combat, though I think it would be really fun to.- Are we even going to be having any combat, Ashrem?I know that Vampire is a political game, but looking at our characters, I think we've all kind of neglected any physical threat aspect to our PC's.I know that I have somewhat meta-gamed it, knowing that V:tM is notoriously social, so I've suffered Nik's physical stats and spent them on Social attributes.But to a point, wouldn't most of us be dog food if we couldn't protect ourselves in a Predatory big city, especially one that is so relatively Lawless, lacking the strong Tradition and heirarchy of more mature vampire cities?-Everyone - Do you think it would be a good idea to copy-n-paste the Q&A into the Rogue's Gallery thread?Kinda keep em all in one place, for easy reference.Sorry there's a lot of thoughts in this post, guys, but I think there's a lot of stuff to cover and talk about this game in addition to just roleplaying it - that's part of why I'm excited about this game.I'm curious what everyone's responses to some of these comments are.</blockquote>
