'''Live-Fire''' Provides a one-point discount. However anytime you take a learn action you must make a simple chop with staff. On a loss, you come into play down Four willpower. On a Tie you come in down 2 will power. On a loss, there is also a second chop. If you fail that chop you have done something that causes a masquerade issue you are  unable to cover (caught on camera using discipline is the most common.) If you miss the game following taking the Live Fire the chop carries with you to the next game you attend. You or the Teacher can take the action. Live Fire represents doing something dangerous to bring back the thrill of life and make you learn like humans do for a brief moment.  If it's not life-threatening in some way, it's not live-fire. If you take more than one live-fire in a month you still only make one chop but the effects of failure double or triple (Both the willpower loss and the masquerade breach size. If willpower hits zero you automatically fail the chop.) These chops must be made with Tasker prior to entering the game. You can take a Hide action for your Live Fire action. Each Hide action gives you an additional chop to avoid breaking the masquerade.

Latest revision as of 18:48, 24 October 2024

Experience Characters earn 5 Exp each month. They earn this exp whether or not they show up to game.

Diablerie Committing Diablerie only gives 1 extra experience unless the diablerie results in a generation decrease. Diableries that result in a generation drop grant 4 exp. In addition Diablerie Always results in degeneration.

No secondary or tertiary characters receive experience. If a character in unable to be played for any reason a player may choose to assign his exp to that character. After 3 months of not being played the player can no longer assign exp to the benched character.

If a player has to stop playing, his primary character accrues 3 exp each month the character is shelved for.

Characters playing Fledglings receive an additional 10 freebies 6 months after their start date. and another 10 freebies at their 1 year anniversary.

Characters playing Early Neonates receive an additional 5 freebies 6 months after their start date and another 5 freebies at their 1 year anniversary.

Experience Costs

Spending You can only increase a specific skill, Discipline, virtue etc. by one per month, though you can learn multiple different things in a month. You must take a Train Action to learn anything, when you take the Train Action you may learn 3 different things at a time.

Instructors. The costs below assume that the character has a trainer for whatever the thing they are trying to learn is. Powers that are not "in-clan" for the supernatural, lores, and merits cannot be learned without a teacher,(rituals have their own learning rules) finding a teacher for a lore is generally a 1-3 action search for action.

Exceptional Instructors.

If a trainer is a master of the thing he is trying to teach (5 dots or 10d dots, depending) then reduce the cost by one. (Not one per level, One)

Things that are levelless (combo disciplines, rituals, Merits) can be reduced by one exp per teaching enhancement, as long as the teacher has the thing being taught.


Teaching enhancements

Labs: Labs can be bought for anything except merits. The labs cost 10k. Labs are designed to teach a specific thing. If a character has access to a lab for the thing they are learning they reduce the cost of the thing being learned by one. A lab can be used for all levels of a skill, willpower, traits, virtues. But for Disciplines and Thaum, a separate lab must be purchased for every level or power.

Live-Fire Provides a one-point discount. However anytime you take a learn action you must make a simple chop with staff. On a loss, you come into play down Four willpower. On a Tie you come in down 2 will power. On a loss, there is also a second chop. If you fail that chop you have done something that causes a masquerade issue you are unable to cover (caught on camera using discipline is the most common.) If you miss the game following taking the Live Fire the chop carries with you to the next game you attend. Only you can take the action, no one can take it for you. Live Fire represents doing something dangerous to bring back the thrill of life and make you learn like humans do for a brief moment. If it's not life-threatening in some way, it's not live-fire. If you take more than one live-fire in a month you still only make one chop but the effects of failure double or triple (Both the willpower loss and the masquerade breach size. If willpower hits zero you automatically fail the chop.) These chops must be made with Gary prior to entering the game. You can take a Hide action for your Live Fire action. Each Hide action gives you an additional chop to avoid breaking the masquerade. 

  Merit: Expert Teacher: When a character with the Expert Teacher merit is teaching someone, they always act as though they are an expert (5 dots) at the thing they are teaching so long as they have more dots than the student. This is a level 3 merit.

Manuals: Manuals can count as normal teachers or expert teachers, depending on the quality of the manual. Regular Manuals, allow the thing to be learned. Superb manuals provide the Expert teacher reduction

Nothing can be reduced below half its normal cost
