Vampire/CheatSheets
THE SACRIFICE
Cruac: 1 Kindred Vitae per level of Rite
Theban: 1 Willpower point and a specific object
THE REQUEST
- Cruac: Manipulation + Occult + Cruac
- Theban: Intelligence + Academics + Theban Sorcery
Each roll takes thirty minutes of in-game time by default. Reduce to fifteen minutes per roll of the ritualist's dots in Blood Sorcery are greater than the level of the ritual
Roll a number of times equal to number of unmodified Blood Sorcery dice to meet the target successes listed on the ritual.
If total number of successes are met, the ritual immediately takes effect.
OUTCOMES
Exceptional Success: Add successes to the total. Also choose one of the following:
- Reduce target successes by ritualist's dots in their Blood Sorcery
- Reduce roll times to fifteen minutes from thirty (or to five from fifteen)
- Gain Ecstatic (Cruac) or Raptured (Theban) Condition
Success: Add successes to the total
Failure: Abandon ritual or take Stumbled Condition
Dramatic Failure: Autofail, gain Tempted (Cruac) or Humbled (Theban); next ritual attempted made at -2 per roll

To feed from a supernatural being, purchase the Unnatural Affinity Merit for each type desired. ST has final discretion over giving this one out, so it had better be good.

Invictus Oaths are sworn by a vassal to a liege in the presence of an Invictus vampire with the Notary Merit, called a Notary by the Covenant.
The vassal must learn the Oath they wish to swear as a Merit on their sheet. The liege does not have to learn it.
A vassal does not have to be Invictus to learn an Oath. However, the liege must be Invictus.
When swearing an Oath, always include the following:
- Duration of the Oath where not specified (traditionally, one year and one day)
- Terms for breach of contract, which immediately end the Oath's effects when met
Each member of the Invictus must be under at least one active Oath to maintain good standing in the Covenant.
BESTIAL TRIAD
Competitive Beast: Intelligence + Blood Potency, inflicts Competitive
Monstrous Beast: Strength + Blood Potency, inflicts Bestial
Seductive Beast: Presence + Blood Potency, inflicts Wanton
Victim chooses Fight or Flight.
FIGHT OR FLIGHT
Fight: To resist, victim spends one Willpower if the vampire's Blood Potency is higher than their Power Stat, if any. Victim may choose to resist with a different Power Attribute, and adds their Power Stat if they have one.
- Attacker wins: Victim gains associated Condition, attacker gains +2 to pursue their Beast's agenda against victim
- Victim wins: If a vampire, impose Condition associated with Power Attribute used on attacker, and gain +2 to pursue their Beast's agenda against them. If mortal, gain +2 to fight, escape, or otherwise end the threat.
- Both win: Victim and attacker impose associated Conditions upon one another, no dice bonuses either way
Flight: Victim gains associated Condition, flees, looks bad. No dice bonus to pursue victim
On City of Shadows, there are three kinds of Kindred Status:
- Praxis (North Side, South Side, Undercity)
- Clan
- Covenant
Each form of Status only applies within its own purview.
Kindred Status is not bought with Experience, but acquired and lost entirely in play.
Kindred Status uses the rules for Vampire: Status
THE MASQUERADE
Do not reveal your true nature to those not of the Blood.
Doing so forfeits your claim to the Blood.
THE PROGENY
Sire another at the peril of both yourself and your progeny.
If you create a childe, the weight is your own to bear.
THE AMARANTH
You are forbidden from devouring the heartsblood of your Kindred.
If you violate this commandment, the Beast calls to your own Blood.
