Although it would seem unlikely that the summoned creatures, which vary wildly in power, are perfect replicas of the normal creatures they resemble, this does seem to be the case. Every other summon is too tough or too weak. ![]() Testing, however, reveals a thoroughly broken skill, in the summons available to any of the clans other than Brujah and Gangrel and Tremere. It is impossible to ascertain the stats of the summoned creatures without examining the code, as there is no display ingame, and Auspex helps only a little when the summoned are possessed with the ST head and the 'character sheet' button is pressed, the stats of the controller are shown instead. Ventrue get a Viper, which is weak, especially in contrast with the Redemption enemy Ventrue's Shape of the Beast, which is nothing like any Ventrue skill in any other ruleset. Tremere bring forth a Hopper, which is pretty balanced. Toreadors summon a Ghoul Spider, the large one with 25 Aggravated damage and 60 strength, it hits too hard, especially for the summon of a clan without natural Animalism. Malkavians and Nosferatu both get a Ghoul Rat. Giovanni get far and away the most powerful summon a Ghoul Alligator. Gangrels summon a red wolf shape which is not available in the Storyteller List of creatures, and seems perfectly balanced for a clan with natural Animalism, although this pet skill, together with the very powerful Feral Claws, makes the Gangrel clan well above average in power. Cappadocians summon the slow and weak Zombu. In a game with Tomes of all types available, every class is potentially every other class, with one exception: the shape of the animal summoned by Beckoning, which is forever set at one type, depending on starting clan.īrujah Beckon a Hellhound, which is fairly balanced maybe a little tough. The numerous spiders are not, and neither are the Setites' Vipers.īeckoning Blood 12 at 3 dots 35 Charisma to gain and use Rats are the overwhelming majority that can be charmed, even Nosferatuu enemies' summoned ones, and the wolves in Vysehrad Castle, but that is all. The Tome requires 25 Manipulation.įeral Whispers Blood 5 at 3 dots 25 Manipulation to gain and useįeral Whispers is weak because there are so few animals in the game. Erik the Gangrel (red wolf) and Samuel the Nosferatu (Rat), and characters of those clans in multiplayer, start with it. Wilhem gets Clan Brujah's Hellhound summon from Beckoning. As can be seen in the descriptions following, it is probably best to give it to Wilhem Serena has all the pets she needs from Mortis, and her pet creature would be the weak Zombu. ![]() This is also true of the Cappadocian's Mortis 'pet' skills, and to a much lesser extent, the Presence control skill, and to an even lesser extent, the Dominate control skill.Ī tome that gives this Discipline to the user is available in the Dark Ages it is somewhat redundant to give it to Christof, as he receives this ability after the Vozhd in Vysehrad Castle is dealt with. Consequently, a solo player with Beckoning can kill any creature in the game, with a large enough supply of blood. The exception is Beckoning the wall of creatures it can summon can keep a player character alive until s/he runs out of blood. A Discipline with skills that are more fun than they are efficient for solo players. ![]()
