New Crypt Card: Dappled-Eyes

Group: 5
Capacity: 8
Discipline:
Sabbat Bishop. Dappled-Eyes may have multiple different copies of Master: archetype cards on her. Once per turn, when you play an archetype on Dappled-Eyes, you may burn a pool to gain an additional Master Phase action.

Name: Epicurist
Cardype: Master
Master: archetype
Put his card on a vampire you control. Once per turn, when this vampire successfully hunts, he or she gains an additional blood from the blood bank. A vampire can have only one archetype.

The archetype was just an afterthought to the vampire, it's really a straightforward card so just consider it bonus-round.

Game development:
- Allow for weak and underplayed cards to have a new lease on life.

Flavor:
- Multiple personalities. Based on LunaSlave's thread regarding flaws it got me thinking about archetypes and how many of them are barely usable. Then it struck me how they could be used to simulate multiple personality on a minion way better than rolling dice or tossing coins, building his own set of traits over time. Time to draw us up a Malkavian.

Balance:
- It would have to be a fairly versatile minion, the better to cater to the multiple archetypes in a single turn. Gave her ANI for the blockiness and the fightiness that some of them require, gave her tha to permit her to fetch some permanents crucial to save slots. Fortitude is the only discipline that was a real deal-braker since it is needed in order to activate multiple archetypes per turn through multi-acting. Avoided the Obfuscate to emphasize that this isn't meant to be a stealth-bleeder. Gave her a token title on account of traditionalist.

- Even with all these considerations in place, I still deemed it necessary to make it less costly to play the archetypes on her, given the excessive setup that it takes to actually come close to turn the minion into a powerhouse.

Competitiveness:
- Moderate. A minion tailored to be a star-vampire but that requires some hefty investment in deck space to really shine. Seems like it could be really fun to play or a logistical nightmare, depending on perspective.
