The Storyteller should create something suitable or choose one item from the Mystical Items list to give to you (though you can suggest something). You may take this Flaw once per decade above 40 years of age. (GFA), Anachronism (Mortal)This Flaw reads exactly the same as the Mortal Society flaw for Vampires, however, its point value is diminished because it has limited effect. The Inbred Flaw cover all manner of physical, mental, and emotional defects. The visions are not necessarily precognitive, but like precognition, the visions occur outside your control. Your Unconquered ally may be called upon for assistance and may also enlist your support from time to time. (CB:G1), Vulnerability to Silver (Vampire) You suffer aggravated wounds from silver, just like a werewolf. Storytellers should feel free to disallow any communities deemed unbalancing or two inclusive.

You feel that your domitor needs you, and that every feeding is nothing short of an act of purest love. Those possessing it do not bear the Curse of Lamia; their Kiss causes no more damage than the blood loss itself. (V20, p.268) This merit is rare among any line other than Viziers, in whom it is nearly always tied to the Curse of Obsession. This can obviously lead to some unplanned and quite twisted codependent relationships. Multi-Venue Merits and Flaws Here is a list of acceptable Merits and Flaws that are found in the books of multiple venues. Passions may burn brightly; but as they say, revenge is served best cold.

The exceptions are ghouls who themselves possess Vicissitude, though a lowly Zantosa may well find herself helpless to repair the mutilation inflicted by a seventh-generation Tzimisce (to repair Vicissitude alterations, a ghoul must have a level of Vicissitude superior to that of the vampire who inflicted the mutilation).

A 3-point rival has no qualms about occasionally attempting to have you killed or has some serious clout with someone of higher standing than you (a mortal authority or clan elder). You may not command the vermin in any fashion; they are too intoxicated on your vitae to be of any use (though they do love you, for what it's worth). The exact nature of the ability should remain somewhat mysterious to you, though you have some say in what the ability is. This is a generic list: no merit or flaw specific only to one character type is listed, although some originally intended for one type of character have been expanded for more general use.

These modifications are permanent unless shaped away by further Vicissitude. Reduce the difficulty on any Stealth roll involving moving quietly by two. Pure Blood The Curse of Caine runs strongly in your veins. This makes it far less likely that you will ever botch, and grants you more successes than others obtain. You are at -1 difficulty on all Social rolls against any Camarilla vampire who arent actively opposing your ascent. You may declare your love for one another openly, although you risk becoming an outcast - or worse.

Note that this tongue does not inflicted aggravated damage, nor draw blood. Featuring 13 clans and 19 bloodlines, this volume spans the Dark Medieval World. Normally, vampires can only seal the wounds they inflict when feeding by licking them closed. You are not really given any special credit for doing it, but if you were to stop you would lose much of its respect. (CB: NOS1), Drug Resistance You are unusually resistant to drugs. The entirety of your life has been training to be an Inquisitor, a warrior for the Society of Leopold. However, one can never count upon a guardian angel. Your enemy has been blackening your name, and as a result you find that all dealings with the Unconquered are at +1 difficulty. (PGS), Marhime (Ravnos) You have committed some grievous crime against the Rom, and are now shunned by their families (including the Ravnos). Stereotype can be very fun too, if fitting the tone of the chronicle. (CB:Tor1), Scales (1 - 3 Flaw) During your Embrace, a portion of your skin became scales.

Rising Star Youre one of the up and comers in your city, a rising star in the Camarillas firmament. You may gain Glamour normally as any kinain would, but you will not have any initial Glamour to use for cantrips or Fae Gifts, making it unlikely you would have learned much about either (unless you have a gift that does not require Glamour to use). (ELY), Disgraced (Banu Haqim) You broke the laws of the Khabar at some point during your training, and though you have since prevent yourself from being destroyed on the spot, and to be grudgingly accepted as a rafiq, your name still bears the stain of your misdeed. Even better, you heal more quickly. Many will believe you to possess great power (regardless of the truth), and will be appropriately respectful of you. (CB:S). Although you never deliberately do anything to harm yourself, you do tend to hinder yourself at awkward times. (INQ), Extremist Group The character has both Influence over and Contacts within an extremist group of some sort. 5-pt are grossly disabling or emotionally crippling - everything from useless atrophied legs to a permanent Derangement, decided on mutually by the player and the Storyteller.

These creatures crawl and hide among the creases and folds of your skin despite your best efforts to remove them. You receive two extra dice on Rotschreck rolls. They seek either to remove you entirely from your diet and/or domitor's influence, or to kill you as a favor to your corrupted soul. The parasites also drink from one to four of your Blood Points each night (roll a die and divide by three, rounding up). You must score one extra success to do damage with a bite, and once you have locked your teeth into your prey, you automatically cause the victim one additional Health level of damage for every two Blood Points taken (you have to chew and chew and chew). ImpatientYou have no patience for standing around and waiting. Perhaps the character knows that the prince is an Infernal Diablorist or that the primogen are actually all Sabbat. Every effort is being made to recruit you, willing or no, and the press gangs usually show up at the worst possible time. Although such holdings are often ancient castles, museums, and the like, they can also be specially prepared apartment complexes, mountain lodges, old churches, etc. During the waxing moon you are pleasant and more focused on your tasks.

The "Revised Merits and Flaws Compendium" is precisely the weapon that your characters will need to protect themselves from the Jyhad, that your take advantage from the unprepared and break them all. The years have left you in their wake and the world has been remade in your absence. (Cb:L1), Inbred (1 - 5 Flaw) A common occurrence among the incestuous Giovanni clan, inbreeding can take many forms, and this Flaw is best discussed with the Storyteller before a player takes it for her character. You, of course, are immune. In addition to the potential for inhuman power, your character has some miraculous capability tied to that Attribute. Any diabolist who tastes it will lust after it. You may have gifted them with favors or material items sometime in the distant past, or just last week, but they now owe you a debt. Such bonds can be same sex or opposite sex, and there is no way to predict who your twin will be. (CB:G1), Inconnu Associate The character is friends with another Kindred who belongs to the Inconnu. Power levels of samadji vary greatly; a one to two merit samadji might reduce target numbers on certain actions.

Design your Samadji with the Storyteller, who will assign a final value to it. The damage done is Standard Brawling damage, only it is considered aggravated against supernaturals.

Instead, your aura reflects some deeper aspect of your Nature or personality. Then again, you may have a visions as you are walking down the street minding your own business. (PGS), Stench Few Nosferatu smell good, but you reach a new nadir of odiferousness. There may be a reason for this reputation, or it might arise simply from a case of maligned reputation, or you might have been set up by one of the Kindred (particularly the anarchs, who love to do this kind of thing to Inquisitors). While you cannot derive any nourishment from eating regular foods, this ability will serve you well in maintaining the Masquerade. Additional Discipline definitely has its appeal, I admit. You may ignore rules regarding how Humanity/Path restricts the number of dice available during the day. Even the most cold-hearted are not immune to your power. (CB:L1), Heartless Having removed your heart via the fifth level of Serpentis, you have lost it. With Storyteller approval Wraith characters can take Merits and Flaws form other Mind's Eye Theatre source books, as many of these are appropriate to the venue. The value of the Flaw determines how powerful these enemies are. Likewise, your Marijava friend may call upon you for help occasionally. Disciplined Eye With a point each of blood and Willpower and a successful Willpower roll (difficulty 6), you may force your third eye closed for a full scene.

Symbol IndependenceThe use of True Faith against a supernatural creature typically requires use of a holy symbol. Perhaps your eyes are unusually vivid, or uncannily colored, or incredibly trusting and inviting theyre distinct, regardless, so you might as well make use of em. Some visions may be precognitive, while others might be warnings or advice. This is an intelligence roll (difficulty 10 - the Kindred's Status). Your bite does one additional die of damage, and you may add one to your Intimidation Dice Pool. Add two dice to all social rolls in such circumstances. (ELY), Phralmulo (Ravnos) You were Embraced from within the Rom, from one of the families of power. Your rival occasionally gets the best of you, but you do the same to him. The Vinculum scores between you and your enemy are automatically zero, and will never increase no matter how many time you partake of the Vaulderie together. (INQ), Lazy You are simply lazy.

Vicissitude Modifications (Ghoul) Although you may not be talented at the Tzimisce forms of fleshcrafting and boneshaping, at some point you have been modified into a more warlike form.
