Quotes I like:
- RAII is the single most important notion of C++. Everything else is related.
- Prefer certain code ergonomics to supposed code performance.
- Because I'm coding in C++, once the code compiles, it works.

How can I improve the social / mental combat system in Vampire: Requiem? @B.A. Thomas : Thanks. Note that an alternative would be to use a virtual "current WP" as health, but regain those lost points after the social combat. Instead, granting a bonus or a malus of 1 to WP for a won/lost discussion. This bonus/malus could increase according to the importance of the discussion. |

How can I improve the social / mental combat system in Vampire: Requiem? @B.A. Thomas: Yes, it was my first idea. But loosing Willpower for a discussion seemed a bit too much. |

What side effects might arise from modifying the XP cost to increase traits in the Storytelling system by category primacy? @Jadasc : As defined in the rules. We add one or two XPs for things like "Did your character really acted as a vampire?" and "Did you helped make this story go smoothly/better/in a surprising direction?", but nothing more. I guess and answer with standard XPs allowance is more than enough (i.e. Something like 2 to 4 XPs per session, IIRC) |

Are Embraced Ghouls blood bonded to their Sires? I quote The Blood, p64: "Final Death of either Kindred involved in the Vinculum". But I guess it could be extended to the death of mortals, and your remark about dying in the process of the Embrace is a sound one. |

How can Blood Potency 0 creatures heal Aggravated Damage? The problem is that vampires/undead are not supposed to heal at all without spending vitae. |

As a man, how can I roleplay a woman better? "Do not tell people who you are using as your models. This can only end in pain." So true !!! |

What about Arete / Masteries and Dark Heroes? @ExTSR: I disagree. The tags are here to filter the questions. I even marked the question by prefixing by the name of the book. Now, looking at the current questions, I see TWO D&D 4th ed questions. Are they out of scope ? In Stack Overflow, questions a question about C++ ADL effect on specialized templates is quite specific, too. Java developers don't give a damn about that. Still, the question is still a valid SO question... |

What about Arete / Masteries and Dark Heroes? I guess it's the chart which is very unclear: You say I can have, with Arete 3, as much as 7 masteries ? What I read in the chart is "3, 2, 2, 1", which means, to me (after reading your explanation) that with Arete 3, the maximum Masteries I can have is "3 on one skill, 2 on the second and the third skill, and 1 on the fourth". Which makes 8 Masteries maximum. Am I wrong ? |
