| Dec 27, 2012 at 9:04 | comment | added | OpaCitiZen | @okeefe Thanks. I have to admit that I remembered this much (had even found the MtA p65 reference before asking the question), and was hoping for a more (a way more) detailed in-game reasoning, possibly from some book I've missed, but if this is indeed all the writers and designers have to offer, I'll of course accept your answer. | |
| Dec 27, 2012 at 8:29 | comment | added | Flamma | @okeefe, ouch, touché. Samuel Haight was THE mixing madness. Still, he was the exception, and probably, as everyone in WW knows, the biggest mistake of the cWoD. | |
| Dec 27, 2012 at 8:16 | comment | added | okeefe | @Flamma And then there's Samuel Haight. | |
| Dec 27, 2012 at 8:15 | comment | added | Flamma | @Bob The abomination was rather the exception than the rule. They are supposed to be extremely rare (you need to botch the gnosis roll). Then, an embraced mage is a regular vampire (loses his mage powers), an embraced changeling usually just dies, and generally there is no other abomination type. Changeling kinfolk cannot become werewolves, and werewolves cannot awaken. Every supernatural type that can become a ghost, lose all powers and become regular wraith. So, I said, the abomination is the exception. I would not call it a mixing madness. | |

| Dec 23, 2012 at 0:41 | comment | added | Bob | Yes it sure was, see my answer below | |
| Dec 23, 2012 at 0:40 | comment | added | Cristol.GdM | I'm confused. Was mixing of templates possible in the "old" WoD? | |
| Dec 22, 2012 at 23:17 | comment | added | okeefe | If someone's got Werewolf: the Forsaken handy and wants to add that book's reasoning, go right ahead. I don't own that one. | |
