3 · Sacrifice the Children

When diablerizing your own childe, use the loresheet-specific Resolve + Humanity + Blood Potency pool and add three dice for absorbing Disciplines. The additional Humanity term is part of this special pool, not an addition to ordinary diablerie. Project owner confirmed this reading of the printed benefit.

4 · The Womb’s Blood

Once per story, drinking blood from a uterus grants two temporary dots of either Stamina or Resolve until dawn. The increase also adds two Health or Willpower respectively; apply it through the Attribute calculation rather than counting it twice.

5 · First-Cursed

Your clan Bane still applies. Daylight permits you to walk for an hour at its beginning and another at dusk’s end. Intercourse needs no Rouse Check, but you gain the equivalent of Obvious Predator. Attempts to exclude you socially or damage your reputation have their Difficulty lowered by 1. For a vampire using Auspex to examine you, reduce both Resolve and Willpower for one scene by half your Resolve, rounding up.
