Totally! I've done both, so I do get confused at times! I think Resilience may work differently as well, I'll need to review some of that to see whether I may house-rule some of that. Some things do work better in larp, I think Resilience being one of them.

Okay, another stupid question; is there an equivalent to Fighting Finesse that can be used for unarmed combat?

Not that I'm aware of unfortunately.

We've got a couple of new faces. So far this is a Mekhet/Daeva soire.

Welcome Ophelia and Alexander!

Hello every one. Very happy to join you all.

In reply to Alexander Monroe (msg # 13):

Welcome and that is defiantly the face of a Angel.  Sweet Daeva

The wisdom of the Crone ever shines through

Ophelia Shine here. Carthian, shadow.

Don't have a lot more to say about myself, but I'll try and answer questions you have.

Okay, another stupid question that probably ties back to my LARP days...

For Haven, is it purchased as a single Merit, or different merits.

For example if I want a Haven with location 1, security 2, and size 1, am I buying Haven: 4 for 20 XP? Or am I buying Haven Location: 1 for 2 XP, Haven Security: 2 for 5 XP, and Haven Size: 1 for 2 XP?

My initial understanding was the first interpretation, but then it says you can each of the Haven characteristics up to 5, which would be ridiculously expensive if you're buying a 15 point merit.

I think that's another thing from LARP as well. Housing merits can get pretty pricey. I think it encourages people to form Coteries so they can share the costs. That said, I think that going with the LARP version of these rules, in which each Haven characteristic is purchased as a separate merit is fine. Merits can already get pretty pricey in tabletop, so I'm cool with making that change and will add it to the house-rules.

Hey, all. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm probably time zones 16 or so hours of off everyone else, so my posts will come at odd hours. Just woke up and will try to reply to messages today.

well in that case. Good morning

Mehket rule at the moment and a close run from the Daeva.

Daevas prefer quality over quantity, anyway.

Indeed

Ok. Looking through the house rules and tossing out my questions here just to  make sure I'm doing things right.

We all have Status 1 in Clan, Covenant, and City for free. Raising them further needs to be in game, correct?

No.. only Domain can be gained IC

 Every character will also begin play with 1 free dot of Status in the Domain, Clan and Covenant..

Hello fellow DCers.

Would anyone like to live with a wealthy Seer?

Trying to save points on Haven

That's correct. Although, I may just allow the expenditure of XP to bump Clan or Covenant status up to 2 at the start of game with a reasonable IC justification for it in your background (will update this in house rules). Domain status never costs you XP, but can only be gained through IC means and acquiring favor from some of the elders in the Domain. Further increases in status for Clan and Covenant beyond 2 will need to be acquired IC.

In reply to Nefertiti (msg # 26):

OOOO I would so live with a pagan priestess if given a chance

In reply to Alexander Monroe (msg # 28):

Now would you try to convert a Seer from her ways?

In reply to Nefertiti (msg # 29):

The Invictus is about power and rulership. No need to imping on your spirituality

Can we have a dot of status in another covenant if we pay for the merit?

Patiently waiting for the small window when I'm awake at the same time as the rest of you...

Wait, I forgot the Im at rhe beginning of my sentence.

That is a good question. I would like to second that question.
