So, if you have read the note I posted about Obfuscate and how it impacts the Nosferatu in particular, I want to make sure everyone is playing their clan flaws. It is not fair to the Nosferatu players if everyone else gets a pass or has an easy time just because their flaw is not being hideous ugly.
Be fair to your fellow Nosferatu players and play your flaw. This is part of the game and can not and should not be brushed off or ignored.
That means ALL Brujah need to play the low, simmering rage they feel CONSTANTLY and roll frenzy way more than they already do (which is not a lot)
That means ALL Gangrel need to act pack-ish and more animalistic. They should be territorial to an extent, not easily trusting- like animals. That does not mean they “grrr” and snap at every new person, but they also are not totes friendly with everyone. Their clan flaw means they acquire animal features over time as they frenzy, therefore that mentality is innate, not optional. You don’t just suddenly develop a tail if you are more Toreador than Gangrel. It is in your blood.
Malkavians need to play their derangements. This means you play the insanity and it does NOT mean you are kooky and silly. No one likes a Fish Malk. This also means you don’t play it when it is convenient and forget it when it’s not.
Nossies have been covered in the other post.
Toreador- you need to keep in mind your love of beauty- no, your NEED for beauty and your physical discomfort in areas that are ugly, filthy, rundown (And not in that genteel old sort of way or even shabby chic kind of thing) Even around ugly people they should show discomfort. That means the bland, nondescript, not exceptional mask of Mask of a Thousand faces user is not appealing. It won’t send you into frenzy or make you hurl, but it won’t make you comfortable either.
Tremere- their flaw is not overt, but in my opinion, their real flaw is the fact that the main Clan wants these outliers dead, or at the very least, reassimilated into the main clan. Trust should be rare and even if you “trust” you do not completely trust. Anyone could be someone who would sell their Mother to save their own skin, let alone sell-out a Tremere to get ahead. If it suited them.
Ventrue- they want to be in charge, to be in business, to lead. Right now we have no PC Ventrue, but if we do get anyone, this will be enforced.
So again, play your clan flaw. If the Nossies have to, so do you. It is only fair.
