New Crypt Card: Alessandra Cordata

In entire game there are only 2 vampires who don't have 2 in-clan superiors as Archbishop or Prince with 7 capacity, and one of them have +1 bleed. Please, don't suggest crap vampires for a clan that already have crap mid-cap titled vampires. It don't need another such vampire.

In-clan superiors are not the only, or the defining, measure of utility for a vampire!

I can certainly say that Nikolaus Vermuelen, with a mere single superior discipline, is a really quite useful vampire.

One of the points was that the Lasombra don't have a (non-bishop) title at 7 capacity at all. The suggestion was to, perhaps, provide an option below 8 capacity to a clan that mostly lacks that at the moment.

The converse point of yours is: why give the Lasombra yet another huge titled vampire, when they already have so many? Do they really need another such vampire?

TO converse your point, why not give so me good mid cap archbishop ?

Sabbat Archbishop of London: During political action, older or may burn 1 blood to force him to abstain.

Or even more good mid cap voters/vampire with vote related specials.

Alternatively, you could make the special a bit weaker, and then maybe give herself something else to make up for it.

Alessandra Cordata
Lasombra
7 cap
AUS OBT dom pot cel
Sabbat Archbishop of Milan. If you control any Boons, Alessandra has 1 additional vote.

i.e. you control 7 Boons, she still has only 1 additional vote. At that point, the special is a bit fringe, so adding cel in. Which isn't (to my mind) as power-trippy as giving her another superior, or Fortitude. So she'd be a shade over 8 points.

It would compare interestingly alongside Mukhtar Bey, for example.

I get where you're coming from, James, but my main intent here is really to propitiate Lasombra wallish decks that use Boons in a meaningful way. You, on the other hand, are concerned with filling a diferent design vaccuum altogether. I understand and even share your perception and am certain it can be fulfilled in the context of the whole crypt grouping. Just not by diluting this particular minion's original intent.


@Lech: those both look really interesting as well.
