Variable Trait Merit
Enemy
(1 to 5 )
A particular enemy is out to ruin you, or worse, to kill you. You may even have a group of powerful enemies hounding your steps. The value of this Flaw depends on the power of the enemy: A single vampire of power similar to your own is worth one Trait, a two trait enemy is more powerful than you, a low-end elder if you are a neonate. A character with a three trait enemy will likely not survive the first session as their enemy who is significantly more powerful than they are, will show up and kill them and it will be easy A super elder on the top 100 powerful kindred list is worth 4 points. while an order of mages or an entire organization of hunters, or the black hand, yes all of them, devoted only to the extinction of you personally would be worth five Traits.
One Trait Merits
Infamous Sire
See prestigious sire, just prestigious to different people.
Prestigious Sire
Your sire is well-known in Cainite society, and he is held in some esteem. You gain a small measure of prestige due to your sire’s fame, even if you no longer have any contact with her. Many other vampires treat you with at least a modicum of respect, as they fear or revere your sire. You are generally treated as if you possess one Status Trait more than you really have, although this Trait is not actually used -it shows that people accord you slightly greater standing.
Two Trait Merits

Hatred
You dont just hate a political faction but rather their presence is a 4 trait rage frenzy trigger. The hated faction must be likely to exist within a city.
