+===================================================================+

Thin-Bloods are vampires with such diluted vitae that they barely
qualify as Kindred. Often called "Duskborn," they are outcasts in
vampire society but possess unique abilities.

THIN-BLOOD TRAITS:

Blood Potency 0:
  - Cannot create Blood Bonds or ghouls
  - Weak vitae, often rejected by other vampires
  - Cannot sire childer

Sunlight Tolerance:
  - Takes bashing damage from sunlight (not aggravated)
  - Can survive daylight hours, though painfully
  - Damage: 2 bashing per turn of exposure

Blush of Life:
  - Easier to maintain mortal appearance
  - Can sometimes pass as human at low Hunger
  - Automatic at Hunger 1-2

Disciplines:
  - Choose ONE discipline with a Thin-Blood flaw
  - OR learn Thin-Blood Alchemy instead
  - Cannot learn disciplines normally (no Blood Potency)

THIN-BLOOD ALCHEMY:

Unique supernatural ability to craft alchemical formulae:
  - Craft formulae using vampire blood + ingredients
  - No Rouse checks (Blood Potency 0)
  - Single-use concoctions
  - Effects similar to discipline powers

Known Formulae:
  - Far Reach: Telekinesis (Level 1)
  - Haze: Cloud minds (Level 1)
  - Envelop: Shadow concealment (Level 1)
  - Counterfeit: Duplicate objects (Level 2)
  - Defractionate: Split consciousness (Level 2)
  - Higher level formulae available with experience

SOCIAL STANDING:

Thin-Bloods are pariahs in vampire society:
  - Not recognized as true Kindred by most elders
  - Often hunted or enslaved
  - Subject to "Thin-Blood Pogroms" in some domains
  - Must prove worth to gain any standing

ADVANTAGES:
  - Can survive daylight (unique among vampires)
  - Harder to detect as vampire
  - Alchemy provides versatile powers
  - Not bound by Blood Bonds

DISADVANTAGES:
  - Extremely weak vitae
  - Social pariah status
  - Cannot embrace, bond, or create ghouls
  - Vulnerable to other vampires
