MAKE YOUR OWN VAMPIRE! Vampire: The Masquerade v5 Character Creation Guide

hello everyone this is out star and

welcome to another of amper demostrate

related video they were going to focus

on something that you guys who really

want to see I asked you recently what

kind of a video you would like to see

here on the channel and a lot of you

told me that you are interested in

role-playing your own vampire in pen and

paper campaign but you do not know how

to stop this video will be a

comprehensive tutorial on how to make

your own crabtree sheet from scratch

maybe you have a storyteller but you

don't want to butter him or hair with

too many questions maybe you want to

apply a soul campaign because you can do

that as well

or maybe you want to join our discord

campaign whichever one it is I will be

very happy to help you out

we're going to base this video on the v5

core book which is the newest member the

masquerade core book available and also

the one on which majority of bloodlines

2 is based on and now that a lot of

people actually prefer v20 which is the

previous one but I am personally

role-playing v5 for a few months right

now and they have to say I really enjoy

it I think it brings a lot of new and

fresh ideas to the table and also it has

a lot of new mechanics which are really

really fun so without further ado let's

jump straight into it so let's start

with what you need in order to make your

own character and I think it shouldn't

be really a surprise for anyone playing

pen and paper role-playing games but you

do need a manual maybe you have a

straighter looking borrow you the manual

or maybe the story is cool enough to

share this information with you and

maybe get you through making the sheet

but in general not being sponsored or

anything I have to recommend just having

the book mostly because I know how many

questions and problems people who don't

have the book stumble upon the books are

available on the motif is entertainment

website as you can see and the one that

you need as the base is the viburnum a

straight fifth edition core book the pdf

version costs 20 euro you can also buy

yourself a paperback version if you want

to but this is enough to get you started

if you want to have a solo campaign just

you were playing with yourself which is

also super fun by the way this is

something that you will absolutely need

and also it's a really nice source of

information if you want to play with

other people now this book in particular

well

you to play as one of these clans Cory

ater bruja Gangrel Premier mal kayvyun

nos Bharati or vent true based on it you

can also play the sack a tip or a fin

blood or maybe if you want to make a

human character or a ghoul tractor there

are also rules for that there are no

information about other clans so if

you're looking to make a sim it's a

vampire and you want to buy this book to

give you the information about that no

way sorry if this is not enough for you

you can additionally by the anarchy

source book which allows you to play as

the ministry members that were known

back in the days as the followers of set

a really interesting clan and the camera

masters book allows you to play as Baloo

Hawking who we're knowing back in the

days as the SM eyes there is one more

clown available in v5 as for now and

that is la sombra but for la sombra you

need to have a chicago by night core

book which right now is in the pre-order

face it will be available this autumn

and also for those of you who packed it

on Kickstarter you are able to get

yourself a draft which already has the

summary details in it I'm not really

sure the draft is also available for

people who pre-order so you have to get

that information yourself but in general

source book basic glance post Katie's

and fin block an arc ministry came a

real abandon hacking and Chicago by

night allows you to play as la sombra

I'm going to give you a very basic

information about the Klan's available

in the source book in this video if you

want to know more about them I have a

specific plan videos on this channel and

there will be way more of them soon so

the second thing you will need is

obviously the editable character sheet I

will link this one down below so you can

download it yourself this is the

I'm using personally there are other

layouts available online but in general

remember that v5 has its own specific

sheets and you can't really use the v20

sheets to make the v5 character so if

you have some older sheets that were

available for the previous editions I

recommend downloading new ones just so

everything is up to date with the

current source book this will be

basically a regular fully fledged

vampire belonging to a clan and also

embrace quite recently so we won't be

spending any

no XP so first of all we are starting

with the name and for any one of you who

have problems with figuring out the name

of your character I really recommend

this website behind the name that come

it allows you to search for names and

their meanings and also surnames if you

want to so for example if you imagine

that you want to play as a vampire of

French descent you can go for French

names and look for masculine names for

example and it will show you a list of

names with their full meanings really

useful site I used all the time and I

make my own characters and yeah

recommend it so I'm going to just enter

my personal Jane Doe name which is

Brenda Adams in here I don't really know

where it started but I just call all my

characters Brenda Adams so the player is

obviously your name or your nickname it

is something for your storyteller or for

people you play with to know who exactly

this sheet belongs to so in my case I

will type out star Chronicle is the name

of the Chronicle you plan to use this

character in this sheet being editable

makes you able to add the experience

later on makes you able to edit the

health and any other things it can

actually change throughout the campaign

as we are having this big discord

campaign available for everyone to join

that you guys can join as well I will

actually use the name of that particular

campaign and it's Seattle by nuts I will

link it down below if you guys want to

read more about it so now the concept of

your character and this is somewhat you

really have to think about it has to be

a very short quick sum up of who your

character is or who your character where

as a mortal if it was a freshly embraced

person so as I think I will be making a

toreador in this particular sheet I

think about doing something more

stereotypical just to make you more

acoustic to it when you remember the

last one for example so let's say Brenda

Adams is going to be a burlesque dancer

cuz that really fits the traitors and I

think it will also fit similar things we

can add in there so burlesque dancer

that's the general concept for our

character she was abroad as dancer when

she was immortal and she still wants to

remain one as she is a vampire I'm

Bishan so this is something that can

change throughout the campaign for The

Chronicle you are in right now this is

something that your character aims for

your general goal so for example with my

auditory error that I was role playing I

had the inspiration seeker written in

there so basically the ambition was to

seek inspiration the ambition could be

to become a prince of the city if your

ventra for example the ambition could be

to obtain a very valuable artifact if

you're at ramier this can be something

that can be done from the campaign where

it can be something that you will just

aim to get throughout your actions

ambition is also important because of

some mechanical concepts in the game

sometimes you are actually rewarded for

trying to pursue your ambition so it's

important to remember it the ambition of

my burlesque dancer will be to own her

own burlesque club so let's do that and

I think now after the ambition it's good

to keep the predator at first and jump

straight into the clan for the clan we

have to choose one of these of course

there's also fill blood which is not

really part of the clan so you leave it

blank or you have to edit it and add la

sombra panel Hakeem or ministry if

you're using one of the other books so a

very quick sum up of the class again I

have the videos about them so if you

want to know the exact details of each

one of them just watch em but to be very

short and stereotypical in here bruja

are the passionate angry rebels gang

girls are the animalistic outsiders that

live close to nature

Malka viens are the insane ones the ones

that hear voices that seem more than

others but also our concerns will not

expire most of the other vampires

Nosferatu are the ugly ones the ones

that do not leave the sewers usually

because if humans see them they scream

poor readers are the beautiful ones the

ones that are the closest to humanity

the ones of arts and creation premiers

are the majors the ones that pursue

knowledge and are known for their bloody

rituals Ventre are the bosses usually

the politicians the corporate leaders

and ones who are the highest in the

vampiric ladder and Katie are everything

in between so basically a katie is a

known clan vampire who can have any

disciplines and you can just pick

something that you prefer

the thing is blinky that is kind of like

playing hard mode of this game because

you do level up your disciplines waist

lower than other clans and also you do

receive penalties your social checks

when you are talking to bumpers who know

that you're okay do people don't trust

them and still like them usually don't

make it a toreador a beautiful dancer

quite inspired by Vivi from vampire the

masquerade bloodlines and now it's

actually good to jump back to the

prototype this basically dictates your

preferred way of feeling some of them

dictate the exclusive way in how you

feed so you have to pick them very

wisely these are the ones available in

the core book but upon talking to

structure you can come up with your own

it's a little bit complicated though

because each of the prototypes come with

your own pluses and minuses with some

additional advantages or with some flaws

that are added to your character it is

very important to balance it out if

you're making a homebrew one but these

are the ones that proposes and I think

the variety is super huge so you can

pick something here that you will prefer

so starting from the top we have the

elekid's typical way of how you would

speed as a vampire I would say basically

by tackling people in the dark alleys

you are just going for the quick feed

and quick disappearance then you have

the bugger buggers do not feed from the

victims they feed from the blood bags or

any blood that is in the containers per

se they obtain the blood on the black

market or in some different kind of

means and they refuse to drink straight

from mortals mostly for moral reasons

bla bleach a really risky one really

problematic one but one of my favorites

blood leeches feet from other vampires

only I am role-playing as a blood mage

in our Seattle by night campaign right

now let me tell you it's

difficult basically you have to somehow

convince

order kindred to give you Vijay

consensually because if you first in

fight violence

I guess it's a very quick way to die so

you have to be very careful with this

and of course when you commit the a

blurry

you better not meet anyone that has all

specs for sometime because they will be

able to see that the problems with

blockage is that when you drink from

humans you do receive stains

so for each sip I ever take with my

vampire from a human

rasuu saying that can lower my humanity

cleaver is a bit of a problematic one

too because cleavers do feet from their

family and closed ones usually using a

wide arsenal of methods

starting from gas lighting to order

creepy things that they do in general

it's also seen very badly by other

vampires if other members will realize

that you're a cleaver it's your little

direct secret just keep it to yourself

consensual as well you never take blood

without the explicit consent of your

victim making you an obvious mask with

breacher so again a problematic one Alma

you drink from animals only you didn't

drink from people you feel like animals

are the ones that you should feed from

it is a very good one for Nosferatu it

is a very good one for those who prefer

to feed from rats

remember that you cannot take farmer or

bugger if your event true and also if

you want to play a vampire of high blood

pollen see the older vampire more

powerful one backs and animals will also

not satiate you so it's only for those

vampires who actually can get satiated

from angles the next one is Osiris

Asura Cyrus I don't know how to

pronounce it in English this basically

means that you were on an object of

devotion from your church members or

maybe your fans or maybe some kind of a

group that you Leeds you may be a guru

you may be a priest you may be actor who

has some fan club around him and you

feed exclusively from people from that

particular group so either from your fan

club or your worshippers or whatever

then we have a Sandman who drinks

exclusively from sleeping victims

so you either break into people's houses

and drink them interestly or maybe

you're a doctor who is Anastasia to

sedate their victims in the hospital and

before a surgery or before whatever you

do to them you just drink them

apparently it's also moral for some

vampires to drink from sipping victims

so the victims only think it was

nightmare or a bad dream and they don't

actually see you of course unless they

will wake up next we sing Queen sing

Queen drinks from people of a particular

subculture now let's say you are a punk

from squats and you are only fearing

from other Punk's coming from the squats

and you also have to pick some kind of a

subculture that you never drink from

there's a sink Queen for example you can

be a leader of the fun clap of one

particular kpop bands but you will never

drink from people who are fans of a

matter capable so I guess it's based on

your backgrounds who your character is

and what were the people they used to

run themselves well if you can pick sing

Queen

if you surrounded yourself particularly

with one type of people

and finally siren that is the one I'm

going to pick myself because it fits our

character the best I think that's the

one who drinks during sexual intercourse

so basically you're seducing humans to

go to the private place with you and

once they are in the private place with

you you suck I mean drink blood from

them you know what I mean

so sarin is something that I think would

fit the bullet answer very well because

she can seduce people through her

performances and later on after the

shell she can just drag some people into

her little changing room and then drink

them perfect

welcome society says your vampire daddy

or mommy this is someone who made you a

vampire who embraced you into your clan

you can totally make it up yourself as a

part of the backstory or you can also

talk with some other players of that

particular Chronicle and maybe someone

will agree to be your sire so it's like

a Brenda Adams Cyrus called Brandon a

damn perfect so now let's talk about the

generation so that means how far you are

from Cain and of course the lower number

the more powerful bumper you are in

general I don't recommend any

storytellers to allow their players to

be anything below generation 10

generation 10 or 11 I believe you're an

Ansel a so quite open older vampire for

generation 12 or 13 you are considered

to be a neonate generation 14 15 16 are

all Finn Bloods so basically when you

are of the generation your blood is fill

enough not to give you the curse and not

to give you any advantages of your clan

you have to pick a feel blood if you

want to be any of these

everything 9 and below is considered an

elder nowadays if you're a generation 9

or lower than that you do hear the call

of the becoming to might be summoned to

the whole candle war happening right now

in the Middle East let's say that our

wonderful Brenda Adams will be a neonate

of generation 12 so one thing that is

important to remember here is that your

prototype gives you some additional dots

or things that you have to act your

later on so we need to keep that in mind

and we to check out the book for what

exactly are the rules of this particular

prototype so we're going to add these

things to her sheet straightaway and

then we're going to fill the sheets

accordingly so first of all we are

picking one of the specialties for them

so it is either persuasion or subterfuge

I think our girl will be more flirty

than persuasive so I'm going to go for

subterfuge and I'm going to already add

the specialty seduction in here when we

are going to seduce someone we are going

to get additional dice for that role as

in this doll I'm going to go for another

thing that we have to add which is one

dot of either fortitude or presence I'm

screwing down to the disciplines I'm

going to pick presents in here and

already add one that we get from siren

which will allow us to pick first of

ability for presents later on I don't

want to do it right now I just want to

note it down that this is something I

get and now what we gain additionally

are the merits the first marriage begins

with siren is beautiful and that is

worth two dots in here merits and flaws

are one of the biggest reasons why do

you need a core book because they are

all mentioned in the book and their

exact price is mention there too so if

you don't want to spend hours asking

other people on what exactly can you

write in here it just good to have a

book at hand and we also gain the enemy

flow which is either a spurned lover or

jealous partner so what we do is we

write enemy in here and we have to

specify exactly what kind of enemy this

so I would say it is a jealous partner

Derek that is worth only one dot which

means that Derek is just immortal he's

not too dangerous but he is going to

sometimes appear in the campaign and

make it harder for us okay

we go up and we are back to our little

dots so the rules for the attributes up

here are kind of easy you do it the same

for every vampire no matter what your

generation is because the thing with

more powerful generations is that you

receive more XP points which you can

spend on them later on to get additional

dots somewhere but you start with the

basic rule your best attribute has four

dots three attributes have three dots

each poor attributes will have two dots

each and the worst attribute will have

just one dots so well we are a burlesque

dancer so first of all we have to focus

on our concept and what will be our

biggest attribute occurring to dance and

I would say that for a broad answer it

would be either dexterity to determine

how flexible we are how well can we move

or charisma that also helps us with our

stage performances

I will pick charisma as the highest

attribute for Brenda Adams and now I

have to pick three attributes of free

dots and I would say that the dexterity

has to be one of them because well we

are a dancer the second will be

manipulation because she does know how

to manipulate people pretty well she's a

master seducer and the composer will be

the third one I think as a dancer you

have to have some composure to publicly

appear on stage and try to remain calm

and cool about what you're doing

having compose yourself important for

public performance and the rest of them

will have to and once I think it's

important to focus first on something

that we will not literally do that let's

say that she is very frail she's a very

frail woman so her stamina will be only

one

and for the rest we do give her two and

voila the attributes are done that's how

you do them for free free free two two

two two and one that's basically the

rule and now based on those you can

actually feel these steps so your health

is your stamina plus free so for her it

will be four one two three or she's not

going to be able to take a lot of damage

when you come but so she should probably

avoid combat at all costs

hair willpower is her composure and

resolve added together so that's five

one two three four five whatever is very

important if you want to read

roll your bad rolls or if you want to

withstand the power of the beast within

you that will push you towards friends

Inc or will push you towards doing messy

criticals where you will not exactly

control your character fully well power

will help you with that so it is

important and in generally start with

humility 7 that is the basic humanity

that you get at the start sometimes it

can be higher for example farmer

prototype gets AIDS at the beginning now

I think it's important once you have

your humanity set to read the rules for

that particular humanity so for example

Brenda Adams having 7 humanity she

cannot really feel the pleasure from

sexual intercourse she has to fake it so

she won't have to roll during sexual

intercourse as a siren to fake that she

is actually having fun so as we have

that done we are safe to move towards

our skills jack-of-all-trades allows you

to pick one skill at free 8 skills at 2

and 10 skills at 1

balanced allows you to pick 3 skills at

3 5 goes up to and 7 skills at 1 while

specialist allows you to pick one

skillet for 3 skills at 3 3 at 2 & 3 at

1 I think for Brandon knowing that she's

a braless dancer we should pick a

specialist because she is indeed a

specialist in something and that's

something is obviously performance so

I'll actually go with the specialist

route and I will assign the points

according to that now a lot of people

are asking me whether they can just

spend the points however they want

around the sheet and in general the

answer is no you should pick one of

these free ways of assigning points but

I think the variety that it gives is

pretty bad so it shouldn't be a problem

so I'm going to pick performance as the

highest skill I have so that gives me 4

dots in here now I have to pick 3 skills

at 3 one of them will be my subterfuge 2

which I already have the specialty of

seduction this will actually allow me to

roll not three but four dice whenever I

will try to seduce someone now it is

important that if you will receive a

specialty or for example your prototype

but you will not invest in this

particular skill that

specialty basically equals one dot now

the other two skills I only have free

ads hmm

I would say athletics because again a

broadest answer should be able to be

quite athletic many persuasion as well

well she has to be at least a bit

persuasive if she's a seducer who bases

on her charisma so I think persuasion

will be quite fine for her and now I

have to pick three skills out too so

something we know less but something

that we are able to do as well I was

saying that working the burlesque lap

and didn't have a lot of the clients she

probably has a gun somewhere just to

defend herself from mortals who are a

little bit too eager to meet her so I

would assume two dots in firearms now

someone who is dealing with various

clients on a daily basis also probably

knows whether someone is lying or not

that role would be with those insights

that will give her two dots in inside

you just for that particular case and

the last one which i think is also very

important for someone who performs for

the audience is awareness a performer

should be aware of the general public of

who is watching them or what is exactly

happening in the crowd and usually the

ability to notice things around you is

based on the role of wits plus awareness

so I'm going to give her two dots in

awareness now we also have to pick free

skills and one so just basic things that

we kind of know and for that I'll

probably pick driving she's a modern

girl she does know how to drive she's

not very good at it but you know at

least something 113 crafts because maybe

she crafts her outfit sometimes and this

will be helpful and one dot in

streetwise because as the burlesque

dancer in some kind of a shady Club I

will assume that she has to contact with

people of various backgrounds I could

also pick etiquette if she actually aims

for the higher clientele so additionally

you can pick a free specialty for the

following skills

academics craft performance and science

but only when you have some points

invested already in the skills the same

as I told you about subterfuges

interaction so we do have a point in

craft and performance

can pick a free specialty for these two

and for crafting I would say costume

making now for performance that's

actually interesting because we could

write burlesque in here but I think I

will be a little bit limiting I can

write striptease for example so this

will only apply to when she is actually

dropping her clothes or I could maybe

write dancing so whenever she'll be

dancing maybe even when she's not

performing she'll be dancing in the club

she will get the bonus dice for that

leaving her with five dice and

performance just super high we can pick

any I would say as a siren whenever

she's stripping her stuff whenever she's

taking the clothes off she's actually

getting some additional dice that's

actually great because again it's gonna

work both on the stage and in the

bedroom and additionally we can pick a

free specialty for one skill of our

choice seduction for persuasion will be

also pretty useful so whether she's

going to try the persuasion or

subterfuge enroute when she is trying to

seduce someone it is always going to

give her additional dust so now it is

time for the discipline we get this one

dot impressions from our siren prototype

so this is already what we have and

additionally we can assign free dots

among two of our clan disciplines to the

batch so the disciplines of toreador

clan are presence all specs and celerity

of course so important thing is that

this doesn't matter for us right now we

have to pick two disciplines that we

want to invest these ads we cannot speak

all three disciplines and just assign

one point to each we have to pick only

two and assign our points based on that

and I think that the one we can drop

right now is all specs just so we can

get more points in presence which will

be important for her he doesn't really

need all specs as much as she has inside

and awareness already - you know somehow

scan the crowd run her and make sure

what are other people's intentions

towards her so this is going to help her

with the roles and all specs is not

going to be deaths useful I mean it will

be but we can invest experience in that

later so I'm going to pick presence and

celerity in here and we have no freedoms

that we can actually assign among these

I would say two additional dots in

presence and one dot in

clarity is perfectly enough forever so

what these dots do is that we can now

pick three abilities of presence up to

level three and one ability of celerity

from the level one that we want to use

as Brenda Adams I'll show you a little

part of the book just to show you an

example how it works like these are the

first three levels of presence and as

you can see on level one we have to pick

it in between oh and don't you do not

get both of these for free unless the

two we have a lingering kiss on level

three we have a dread gaze and and

transmits so some of these are more

about attracting people and some of them

are more about actually pushing people

away don't and dread gaze are the creepy

ones they're ways to use your presence

in the way to make other people scared

of you she's not really an Intimidator

our girls I don't think we'll actually

pick them with having a level free of

presence you can actually pick two

abilities of level one and the one

ability of level free for example so you

can pick all don't ends and transmit

let's say I think those are all feet

hurt the most are Oh we'll just

extremely okay by the way it's not going

to make people automatically fall in

love with you or anything like that but

all will make people believe that

whatever you're doing right now is

beautiful and also man enticing and all

is a very powerful role because using

all for free you can add your presence

dots to any role which is about doing

something charismatic or performance or

anything so all is something that will

pick the next one you will be lingering

kiss it will addicted to your kids TV

use it when you are biting the mortals

so I would be careful we're using it but

I think it fits her from the

role-playing perspective and for the

third level OPIC and transmits is

actually targeting a single person and

make them fall in love with you head

over toes and transmit is something that

she will use on her special clientele I

would say and then we have celerity on

level one we can pick in between cat's

grace or right beat reflexes and I do

think cuz grace is going to feed her

more from the role-playing perspective

that is it for the disciplines at the

beginning later on we can spend XP on

additional disciplines or additional

in here but as for now this is what we

gets resonance okay so I was wrong about

it back in the base I felt that this is

your favorite resonance that you have to

pick in here resonance is the taste of

the blood of mortals at the beginning

you actually don't pick anything in here

this is just empty and once you drink

from a mortal victim you can roll for

the temperament and the resonance of

that particular blood what this does is

if you will actually stumble upon a

human who has intense or acute resonance

of their blood this will actually affect

your roles and your disciplines for

example if you will find a human who is

super horny and has intense sanguine

taste to them you will be able to gain

additional dice in presence so at the

moment you don't really pick anything in

here this is only updated once you drink

that particular kind of blood as for

hunger you do start with one and you can

only say she ate this one dot of hunger

once you kill someone you as a vampire

you are never really able to search it

your hunger fully without killing so you

will always be a little bit hungry

unfortunately this is important for the

roles later in the game because the more

Hankou you are the bigger the chance for

you to score a messy criticals and other

things that you beast wants you to do so

I would recommend to keep your hunger

the lowest at any time because it will

help you with your roles next you have

20 Cal tenants that's something that you

have to agree upon with your storyteller

and order players so you got to talk

with them about it this is some kind of

a code of conduct that your group of

vampires your cautery will try to adhere

to basically there are some parts of the

mechanics that actually affect the

chronical tenets for example said i'ts

that members of the ministry will try

her best to make you break them this is

something that you really have to

discuss with your storyteller and with

other players in order to fill it up and

if you're playing the game solo well

that's solely up to you now touch tones

and convictions that is something that

bamboo does a lot of people and they

don't really know what to do with it so

we start with

usually you have to pick one two three

touch stones which are mortal that's

very important

mortal people that are somehow

importance to you in some way you don't

really have to have contact with them

they can be just someone you observe on

a daily basis like for example a shop

clerk that is working in the grocery

store nearby maybe also your servants if

you are a very pushy vampire and you're

on your own

servants who are doing things for you in

your house give me your ghoul it can be

any sort of a human that is somehow

important to you and for each touchstone

you have to also pick a conviction

conviction is a rule of conduct for your

particular Carter you have to have your

own code of conduct which also can be

evil but you should adhere to Dad's

route the campaign so for example for

Brenda Adams 100 touchstones can be

grandma Louie that's like old neighbor

of hers that takes care of her and it's

kind of nice another touchstone can be

called miss violet and she's another

dancer in her burlesque group and

someone that is our girl friends we can

say so we're these two touchstones we

also have to pick two convictions so let

me think about it very quickly one

conviction will be always to repay your

debts always aim to be the best

performer rats know that's kind of like

a more ambitious one that we can aim for

so yeah these are going to be important

because we will also have some mechanics

tied to the convictions later in the

game and yeah when we are role-playing a

character we can think about this

particular code of conduct that we're

trying to abide to now our clambake is

going to be Tory a terrain you can

actually specify it in here if you are

forgetful and you will remember it later

I remember that trader Bane is basically

that we do suffer from penalties to

rolls when we are in ugly environments

so we try to stay in places which look

nice for us there's also a compulsion

rules which you can add in here it's

also important to remember what your

client compulsion is for toreador the

compulsion is that we are being affixed

by something beautiful and we can't

do anything except for talking about

that thing for some time now let's go

over the blood potency that is something

on page I remember I think 216 of the

book this is actually ties to our

generation as a generation 12 vampire we

get the blood potency of one with blood

potency one this is what we feel blood

search is one so we get one additional

dye to rose when we use the blood search

meant amount this is the damage Mendez

pair single rose check and that's one

point of superficial like it's just red

one the supreme power bonus is

non-existent for blood potency one so we

can actually add additional dice when

we're using disciplines so for example

if you are of blood potency for you add

two dyes whenever you're using any of

your disciplines but as you are taught

let's see one you don't add any dyes in

that Rose reroll level one so what this

means is when there are any abilities on

the level one of your discipline that's

require you to use some blood then you

do the roush check and this rash check

can be successful that means that you do

not spend any blood your hunger doesn't

rise Rose riddle allows you to roll once

when you get a failure there so

basically oh now I get one hungry

because I use this level one discipline

what do i do or every roll success okay

I do not get hungry when you have a

higher blood puddin so you can actually

read all four disciplines of level two

and higher pink penalty know when you

are of blood potency you are higher then

you cannot use animal blood or blood

packs to satiate your hunger and pain

severity is once in the severity of our

clamp bane and that's important for the

rolls when our clown brain happens

though its participant experience I will

actually read 0 I assume it we are

playing as a newly made vampire and that

means that we don't have any experience

to spend so in terms of merits and flaws

apart from these two which we got from

our siren prototype we additionally can

spend seven points of advantages and

take two points in flaws which we're

going to do straight away I'm going to

the ones they think are going to be

useful for our girl so first of all she

does in the Haven so if you want to have

a stable place to stay and not be forced

to search for another place every night

you do have to take at least one

advantage got in Haven and now one that

in Haven only means a small and not very

luxurious place if you want to have an

actual house or a secured apartment or

anything like that you should take two

dots in that so I want her to have a

more comfortable Haven so I'm going to

spend two points in that additionally

you can take some objectives or traits

for your Haven and one that I really

want to have is a security system that's

at Haven security system which is worth

one and that means that we already spent

three dozen advantages so the two

neurotic is your resources that's

general well and the money that we

gained and then we have array that we

can spend and with two dots in that we

are a middle-class so I'm going to

actually add in here middle-class this

allows us to you know have some money

for our spendings but not too much and

love them at least I want to have a

heard which is a group of mortals that

we can feed rum regularly and just a

very quickly check out a book her level

two I still have four to seven vessels

half of who share one resonance that you

pick when you buy this advant say think

for us it will be the clients of our

burlesque parlor and these are the

stable clients that come back every

single time so I'm going to add it in

here clientele and yeah and the reason

we actually spent all of our advantage

points in that we have seven points

spent and now we also interest you in

flaws and because of our background as a

burlesque dancer that is seducing a lot

of people I would add the flaw of

starkers one that in starters means that

there is always someone who is trying to

stalk us and follow us home when we kill

that person when we get rid of them it

is usually replaced by someone else soon

after so I think one of them stalkers

actually is quite good for role playing

reasons for this particular character

and little while

means that usually we owe something to

some gangsters for example or maybe we

are a close friend of someone who has

infamy level two and I think that me a

pretty cool take on the role-playing of

this character so for example means

violets who is our close

touchstone someone that we spend a lot

of time with she owes a lot of money to

a lot of drug dealers because she's an

addict and we tried to cover for her and

because of that we gained infamy one

among this particular group so I would

say infamy one among the drug dealers I

think this actually sums up our culture

really nicely and now the only things we

have to feel are the fun things so the

true edge apparent age date of birth

date of death appearance distinguishing

features and history I will leave that

up to you guys because I don't think I

have to feel that myself in the stream

whatever you want to add here just go

overboard write whatever you want

something that I really want you to know

is that character she doesn't really

matter that much it has to be done

properly because of the mechanics and

because it's going to help you with the

roles but you can have literally any

character even the most

stereotypical basic one and you can

still role play an immensely interesting

character based on that it is very

important to remember that what you put

in here doesn't really mean that you'll

be a good or bad role player it is about

the role play itself that will determine

whether your character will be memorable

so my friend pyro

he actually did something really cool

for you guys if you will go to the

discord server below you can check out

the creation guide and there are links

to the basic character sheets for each

of the Klan you can based on these

sheets to make your own crafters I'm

going to show you how they look like all

of them are made in the way so you can

just start playing without having the

book so we did fill up the disciplines

for you and the backgrounds merits and

flaws so you can actually have to have a

book for these all you need to do is

just fill your own attributes and skills

and add some customization and your

character is done so you can take any of

these we pick the prototypes based on

what gives you the most classes to your

party

are important disciplines or things that

can actually be useful for your

particular clan and we also assigned the

merits and flaws accordingly so you can

just jump in and have a very nice basic

sheet for your character feel free to

use them because pyro has done them for

you and thanks Firefox we're doing them

they are super taking useful

all right guys and that's a whole host a

long video but I really hope that I

covered all the basics for you if you

have any questions about character

creation I think the book answers most

of them so if there's anything that is

only clear for you I do recommend

getting the book so you can get the full

information about that thank you guys so

much for joining me today the next clan

is announced already the last playable

clan of vanilla bloodlines to you is mal

kayvyun so my next video is going to be

about Malky lian's i can't wait to show

you the outfit thank you so much guys

and see you in the next video goodbye
