MET LARP SRD

Adherents to the Path of Scorched Heart believe that the Beast can only be controlled by systematically eradicating every emotion. They espouse that the heart is a weakness to the vampiric condition; it should have died with the rest of one’s mortal flesh. All falsehood and weakness are products of emotions, and one can only reach truth through cold logic and reserved scholarship. The heart must not be allowed to rule one’s actions. The only way to overcome the Beast is to turn your heart to metaphorical ash. Although Phoenicians recognize a crude distinction between the concepts of good and evil, they only see benefit in practicality. Followers of this path consider most vampires to be weak, emotional simpletons, and Phoenicians strive to use those weaknesses against their enemies. System: You do not gain Beast traits when performing a sin, as long as you commit that sin completely without sentiment or emotional reasoning. If you place someone else’s needs above your own, you gain Beast traits as though you committed a level 1 sin. If you act on emotion, show trust in another, or fail to apply logic in a crisis, you gain Beast traits as though you committed a level 4 sin. Followers of this path are called “Phoenicians.” Members of the True Brujah bloodline (and only that bloodline, not the entire Brujah clan) can purchase this merit for 2 points, rather than 3.
