Overview

Choose benefits that fit your history and agree their people, places, and obligations with the Storyteller. Each benefit below is a separate purchase.

Details

Purchasing benefits

When you tell other vampires historical accounts or legends, Toreador are drawn to listen regardless of their relationship with you.

Not required

2 · The Art of Will

Spend one hour meditating on the specific artwork or relic entrusted to you by Dr. Neillson before daysleep, and succeed at Resolve + Academics, Difficulty 5. When you awaken, gain one temporary, spendable Willpower point in addition to your normal pool. This floating point does not permanently increase maximum Willpower. The printed use limit is once per session. The benefit requires the meditation, successful roll, and subsequent awakening; owning the relic alone grants nothing.

Guard an ancestor’s supposed resting place. While it remains safe, you may request one Major Boon from Carmelita per story. Failure to protect it brings consequences.
