[Submission] 5 new Lasombra

Yes, it is bit pricey. On the other hand, it comes with villein + 4 transfers and title. But he really don't canonically have many disciplines, so it's safer to err to the weaker side. It might suck to have 8 cap with no bleed and no bounce, but it's not like other clans have it better. (at the very least he would rot alongside appolonius).

Lin is a dude. Chinese, wears wraparound sunglasses because he likes the image of Arnold from Terminator movies, dresses as what his local authorities consider "western hooligans ".

I'm saddened by the treating of Laibon Lasombra as essentially a tiny chunk of a bloodlines set (although I can see the appeal of it at the time) as they are quite important power players in KotE sources.

Lasombra have strong ties to both Christianity and Islam, using both to rule through, and reputations for naval and later piracy abilities.

At any rate, I can't disagree that I'd like to see the Lasombra as more than S&B fodder, but its sadly what they're good at currently.

The cost of 8 for 2 superiors and an ability that effectively moves out another 4 cap seems fair to me. And it's not limited to Lasombra but all Sabbat. Seems fine.

I'm all for addition of more Laibon Lasombra in each respective grouping (g2, g3, g4, g5, g6). It's not really fair to limit it to just two vampires and call it finished, especially as lasombra have no antitribu and it's camarilla/sabbat/laibon/independent all take the same amount of vampires as just antitribu ventrue making mono-sect crypt hard to make. In ideal world all 13th clan would use lasombra/assamite/setite model instead of their current ones.

We can agree that Lasombra had strong ties to both Christianity and Islam just ot rule,and naval affinity is natural for all lasombra since dawn of civilization. On the other hand, i'm pretty sure they always had ties to ruling religion as they are opportunists, not idealists and use it instrumentally.

Yep, he is. But how did you ruled that 11th generation vampire is fit for 8 capacity? and another 11th (Caridad) is fit for 5th capacity ?

Well, they can get some interesting things if Potence will get more fun toys.

I gave up on gen to discipline ratios lining up, since smaller camps are easier to break than big ones and discipline spread diversity enables more decks, so I've for certain made gen 6-9 vamps different caps not aligning with the correlation of gen to cap ratio just due to flavorful abilities and discipline spreads.

Honestly, I find myself shying away from adding skills on certain vamps. Esperanza Lucifer is the coolest fluff of the batch IMO, And her spread streamlined nicely, to the point of me not wanting to mar how nice it is without an ability by giving her a wordy one.

Borges
Lasombra G6

Sabbat Archbishop of Miami: When Borges is in torpor, any sabbat vampire may steal his title as a action.

His was the face of an ancient and well-loved mastiff. The upper part of that face was hidden in perpetual shadow. Light could not prevail across the barrier in either direction. Below, however, the lines of cheek and jowl were yet visible, and these clearly showed the wear of passing years. (Clan Novel: Lasombra).

Timofiev
Lasombra G6

Sabbat Cardinal: As Timofiev enters play, you may search your library or hand for a location and put it in play(play cost as normal).

Timofiev is described as a dour little man, who seemed perfectly content to slouch around in just anything at all, from hermit's cloak to castoffs taken from last night's prey. He lacked all sense of style, but had unshakable confidence in his power of manipulation. Timofiev spoke with a deep basso rumble that did not match his frame. His shadow form had hawklike head and talons.
