Ventrue - Crusaders

Bloodline

You’re a member of an often-ignored bloodline that has begun to earn more respect from the elders in modern nights Although Clan Ventrue has a glorious, regal past, it also has skeletons in the closet — darker aspects, which the clan would prefer to keep hidden. Among the clan’s secrets is the rebellious, violent bloodline known as the Crusaders. These cruel vampires are more soldier than prince, resembling last-born noble sons thrust into war and bloodshed in order to earn a place at the royal table.

The Crusadersare prone to cruelty, and are excellent trackers, able to locate even the most elusive of prey. Despite Ventrue unease about this bloodline’s tendency toward sadism, Cusaders are Kings to the core, with all the egotistical pride of their parent clan. They are simply prone to a more visceral enjoyment of their victories; they prefer to look into an enemy’s eyes the moment she turns to ash. Crusaders are somewhat infamous because they enjoy acts of cruelty and viciousness. Bloodline Merit Cost: 2

In-Clan Disciplines

Weakness

Ventrue have rarified tastes in blood. Each Ventrue finds only one specific type of mortal blood palatable, and does not gain sustenance from anything else. When a player creates a Ventrue character, she should talk to her Storyteller and define a specific type of blood that suits the character’s taste. This category should be fairly narrow; less than one person in 10 should fit the description. This choice is permanent.

Blood of any other type (even animals) simply provides no sustenance to the vampire. No matter how much she consumes, her Blood pool will never increase, and she will immediately vomit the blood back out. The blood of other supernatural creatures (such as blood from other vampires) is exempt from this restriction, and can provide the character sustenance even if that creature does not match the Ventrue’s feeding restriction. If forced to feed in unfamiliar territory, a Ventrue must spend an additional downtime action to come into play at full Blood pool.
