Could somone explain VtM 20th anniversary combat to me? It's also important to know whether it's a surprise attack or head on and whether they had time to prepare (buff physical stats.) I could start writing up an answer, but if you are having these kinds of questions I suggest going over the combat systems chapter on page 271 of the V20 core book first otherwise the answer would most likely only raise new questions. When you understand the basics of initiative and turns, alter your question and I would be happy to provide my view on best tactics. |

What are the main factors to consider when a PC gains a major airport in V:tM? @Tynam Find three powerful Thaumaturges and have them cast Eyes of the ever vigilant (block Obf+Dom) on the complex. Give them free access to travel and register some boons, contact the regent about it and he would be able to assist. One of the PCs found out about this ritual when they had to go into the chantry during a sabbat raid on he city. He eventually built enough of a name for himself to get this done on his shipping yard. It cost him over a dozen Major Boons and there are three powerful Thaumaturges (lvl 8) out there with 5 points of his vitae each. He is convinced it was worth it... |

In-game reason for no multiple supernatural templates in nWoD That happens only if they choose to. But I have yet to hear of a wolf that chooses to be Embraced. |

Repercussions of breaking a Tremere Blood Contract while being dominated or otherwise made to talk/act against the terms @TimothyAWiseman I felt the same when I first read it, but it does give an explanation: "The need for eye contact stems from the aggressor Kindred’s need to see his victim’s soul, and the eyes are traditionally known as the windows to the soul. While the vampire needs to capture his target’s attention, the target’s eyes need not be present for such a power to work, they only need to find the soul of his victim laid bare." That's why I increase the difficulty by 1 or 2, depending on whether the target is blind or does not have eyes at all. |

Repercussions of breaking a Tremere Blood Contract while being dominated or otherwise made to talk/act against the terms @TimothyAWiseman It's on page 152 in the V20 corebook. "A target trying to avoid eye contact can make a Willpower roll against a difficulty equal to Dominate user’s Manipulation + Intimidation (or other appropriate combination for other Disciplines or specific situations, at the Storyteller’s discretion). The difficulty may be reduced for mitigating factors: -1 in the case of the target obscuring his eyes slightly (such as closing her eyes or wearing dark sunglasses) up to a -3 for the eyes being completely unseen (such as with a thick blindfold or having her eyes torn out)." |

Repercussions of breaking a Tremere Blood Contract while being dominated or otherwise made to talk/act against the terms Great insight, thanks for taking the time to share. Thinking about it, third party punishment might indeed be going too far. Extra/boosted power to make sure the contract is upheld sounds like a good idea. And like Rob states, it will take 5 or more successes for any type of dominate to succeed in this case. P.S. your suggestion of making their eyes catch flame won't actually work, blind kine/kindred can still be dominated. At least according to v20, not sure about earlier versions. |

Repercussions of breaking a Tremere Blood Contract while being dominated or otherwise made to talk/act against the terms The resisting roll makes sense. The magic should be powerful due to it being a level five ritual. And seeing as this particular Tremere is the one that innovated Technomancy, I'd say the magic is indeed powerful enough. Thanks for the clarification and text! |

Repercussions of breaking a Tremere Blood Contract while being dominated or otherwise made to talk/act against the terms You do have a point there, but that would mean that the magic would conveniently enough protect against all disciplines that would force someone to talk/act against her will. And then what about physical torture? |

Repercussions of breaking a Tremere Blood Contract while being dominated or otherwise made to talk/act against the terms I like it, didn't even think of the third party getting involved in the punishment. The contract actually states that it must remain between the two parties. So the third party would most likely forget the intel or be silenced. Thanks for the idea! |
