View source for VtR Rules Mods

During our first session using the Blood and Smoke rules mods for VtR we noticed a lot of things didn't work well. As we find more, we can track them here and present our suggested solutions.

=Combat=
One of the biggest issues was in combat dice pools. When they increased the average defense, it made having a reasonable dice pool difficult to manage, which also necessitated the increased usage of willpower and other abilities. This is related to hand to hand combat.

==Suggested Fix==
If your combat dice pool is less than the defense of the opponent, roll 2 dice. If your combat dice pool is equal to the opponent, roll 3 dice. If your combat dice pool is greater than your opponent, roll 4 dice. If your combat dice pool is double your opponent, roll 5 dice. For each further multiple of the opponents dice pool, add one die.

=Experience=
BnS also introduced the idea of beats. Each beat is 1/3 of an experience point. You can earn beats in many ways, from resolving conditions, to fulfilling short and long term goals. Its a great idea in theory, but it leads to a lot of gaminess which could get in the way of good roleplaying.

==Suggested Fix==
None yet.
