General Approach - Witchcraft, Angel, etc.
Part of the iterations within and between WoW has been a gradual increase in the elegance and coherence of its mechanics (e.g., the new dice pools vs. target numbers, templates). I'll just toss out this idea, but what if 3x was organized this way:
1. common metaphysics (not necessarily history - we can leave that up to debate), but stuff like the twilight, malestrom, the abyss, etc.
2. core character creation and rules (like the existing core book) + an extensive listing of powers/abilities (actually just take all the power/abilities we have now across the splats and make them generic). Add rules for how to create a template (a bunch of powers and limitations that go together), and then provide templates for the main splats: psychic humans, …
Valeren
Ia. suggested to use the Coils of Dragon as the basis for this iteration of Valeren.
- Coil of Banes
- Conquer the Red Fear
- Surmounting the Daysleep: Obsolete(?); Kindred already Push themselves Mentally to stay awake.
- Sun's Forgotten Kiss: Obsolete.
- Mortal Burns: Game Breaker. Kindred are only dealt Aggraveted Heath Damage(*) with fire.
- Coil of Blood
- Blood Sleeps Slowly:
- Blood of Beasts
- Perspicatious Blood
- Orphaned Blood: Will come into conflict w/ Tremere Bloodline weakness, if not changed.
- Coil of Beast
- Chastise the Beast: More Powerful than Leashing the Beast, Ferocity 5. Also already covered, in weakened form, under Calm the Beast, Transcendence 2.
- Lure the Beast
- Exhaust the Beast: Seems reasonable.
- Saddle the Beast: Unsure.
- Coil of Flesh
- The Man Wakes: T…
Ferocity trouble.
Ferocity powers 4-5 use Savvy in the dice pool instead of Composure. The effective dice pool becomes Savvy + Intimidation + Domination. I think it is better to change the dice pool to Composure + Intimidation + Ferocity, to bring it in line with other Discipline Powers.
