[QUOTE="painandgreed, post: 1987333, member: 24969"] I have a similar rule, but haven't really enforced it lately, which is you can't refer to the game books during play unless you have the appropriate knowledge skill. Some games I play in allow various knowledge rolls and if they make them, then the player gets to read the entry in the MM. I use this rule alot in the White Wolf games. No Vampire Lore, then you can't look things up in the rule books during game play. If you have it, then you can but which books you can look at are determined by your level. It worked better in 2nd ed. than Rev. Vampire Lore 1 and you could refer to the base rule book without asking. Two dots was the Player's Guide. Three dots was the Sabbat Player's Guide. Four and higher and you specialized and could pick which books you had for each dot afterwards. THis was mostly to speed up the game because players were always slowing it down by looking things up in the middle of combat. It also preserved some of the flavor. [/QUOTE]
