This page contains information about
restrictions on Merits and Powers (Disciplines, Arcana, Gifts, etc.) for your PC. Everything on this page applies to all PC's in all Genres, regardless of what
type of
character you are making.
Anything specific to only one genre is on the
individual Genres
Rules Page. Be sure to read both before submitting a sheet.
MERITS - POWERS: This
section details requirements for these items on your character sheet.
[1] GENRE-RESTRICTED Merits/Powers:
You may not use Merits/Powers such
as those which ONLY appear in a "Splat" book and never in the main edition,
unless you are playing the exact character class for whom it was created. For example, if there were to
be a "Ventrue only" merit of some kind, and it is not a merit in any
main VtR sourcebook other than a Ventrue Clan book, you cannot have
it unless you play a Ventrue, not just a vampire.
[2]
RESTRICTED/OVERUSED/ABUSED
Merits/Powers:
Those who already have them, should we issue a
moratorium on them, may keep them, but no new PCs may have them until
it is lifted.
Moratoriums on Genre-Specific
Merits/Powers will be posted on the
Genres
Rules Page. Restricted Merits/Powers used in all genres
are posted below:
AUGUST 2008:
Until further notice, the following are Forbidden in ALL
genres:
[3] CROSS-GENRE
Merits/Powers:
You may not cross Merits/Powers from one genre to
another (such as using a specifically Mage- or Were-only Merit
for a Vampire PC.) It must appear somewhere in some book for the genre
you are playing, to be able to use it.
The exception to this is obviously
Mortals. Mortals may use any non-supernatural Merits,
Flaws or Powers, in any books for genres that have mortal PC's. This is covered
in more detail on the
Mortal
Rules Page.
[4] MERITS / POWERS TIED TO ANOTHER PC MUST BE
EXPLAINED IN DETAIL:
If you put a Merit/Power on your sheet that needs an
explanation or a connection to an existing NPC or especially another PC, you need to
explain details in your Background.
For example, if you put in Allies or
Contacts, we're going to want to know who they are, how you know them,
etc. If you are hunted by another PC, why? If you know a secret or
they know yours, how?
