Aug 24, 2016 at 13:24 comment added Bob @Baskakov_Dmitriy It is true that automatic successes are a part of the defined rule set. However, that rule only covers rolls which are considered relatively simple and are mundane actions to a character. Rötschreck as written is anything but mundane or simple to a Kindred who is affected by it. All I did is suggest to deem it appropriate to allow automatic successes for Rötschrek. As for the rest, that should be considered fluff text which gives context to this adaption to Rötschreck, not as a system text.
Aug 17, 2016 at 17:48 comment added R.I.P.30.12.21Baskakov_Dmitriy Other statements seem to be correct. Rötschreck is strongly overvalued in the eyes of many Vampire: the Something players. Theoretically, this rule would even allow a vampire to use a fire-starting weapons, such as fire arrows, flamethrowers, Molotovs, Greek fire etc. There is no point for any additional rules.
Aug 17, 2016 at 17:48 comment added R.I.P.30.12.21Baskakov_Dmitriy 1) "If the cause of the rötschrek is of equal or lower difficulty to overcome" part is completely RAW (pages 250-251 of the V20 Corebook, "Automatic Success") 2) From the quotation you provided, a vampire may easily use *any * type of fire as soon as it is under his control, and he can do it easily. He "might grow uneasy", but no more. "candles that dimly light a hallway" is never a problem for a vampire, (as soon as the candle is not placed against his face), "small torches" are not just "easy to overcome" are the same story. So are bonfires -- as soon as they are bordered.
