| THIN-BLOOD VAMPIRES |
+===================================================================+
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
