I had an idea for a new event type:

"Masquerade Breach"

The concept is that these cards allow vampires to break the masquerade for an immediate gain, but with possible long term penalties.

Some examples:

"Conspicuous Feeding"
:event: Masquerade Breach
Any non-Red List vampire with 0 blood may attempt a hunt action at zero stealth to gain 4 blood. The vampire is now Red List.

"Grand Theft Auto"
:event: Masquerade Breach
A vampire may equip with the first vehicle in your library (do not pay pool cost and shuffle afterward.) This vampire gains a number of Breach counters equal to the pool cost of the vehicle. Vampires with Breach counters burn a blood and a Breach counter during his or her controller's untap phase.

"Homicidal Intent"
:event: Masquerade Breach
Any Methuselah may use a master phase action to mark a mortal ally. That Methuselah's vampires may enter combat with the marked minion as a (d) action. The vampire gets an optional press in the resulting combat. If the ally is burned, the vampire burning it becomes Red List.

"Circumspect Discipline Use"
:event: Masquerade Breach
Do not replace until you are bled for more than 2.
Whenever a vampire bleeds for more than 2, he or she gains a Breach counter. Vampires with a Breach counter pay an additional blood for cards that increase bleed and require a discipline.

"Archon Intervention"
:event: Masquerade Breach
Vampires do not burn Breach counters. If the Breach counters on a vampire equal or exceed the capacity of the vampire, burn this card and the vampire.

"In the Wake of the Elder"
:event: Masquerade Breach
Once each turn a vampire with capacity greater than 7 may burn a blood to untap and gain a Breach counter. The vampire must attempt an action which is at -1 stealth. Untapped, ready vampires above 7 capacity may burn a Breach counter at the end of his or her controllers turn.

"Harry the Camarilla"
:event: Masquerade Breach
Any Sabbat vampire may gain a Breach counter to tap a Camarilla vampire as a (d) action. Camarilla vampires may enter combat with vampires with a Breach counter as a (d) action.

:tore: :pre: :tem: :aus: Independent Futurist. Contrarian (titled, X votes where X is the number of votes as the acting minion.) Target Vitals is always the better combat card.

Cool concept, I like it. It gets a bit weird though that only Camarilla follow the Masquerade, lorewise. Perhaps that thing can be tweaked a bit.

"Conspicuous Feeding" - nice
"Grand Theft Auto" - lol-nice
"Homicidal Intent" - broken against imbued, illogical: why i'm a red list if i kill a mortal?
"Circumspect Discipline Use" - nice
"Archon Intervention" - nice, but "burn breach counters"? i cant see where's the rule to burn them
"In the Wake of the Elder" - nice, but somewhat broken
"Harry the Camarilla" - nice

to change "Homicidal Intent":
- change name
- change text:
Any Methuselah may use a master phase action to mark a mortal ally. That Methuselah's vampires may enter combat with the marked minion as a (d) action. The vampire gets a breach counter after resulting combat. Mortal allies may enter combat with vampires with a breach counter as a (d) action.

I don't feel weird that any vampire, camarilla and other, have problems if they are too obvious.

Now, being Red list because you left a corpse in a trash bin seem overly harsh lore wise ; in card game, red list is mild enough to not be a problem.

It's a bit strange you need an event to be able to do that however.

I am not sure these cards should be events. I mean, none of those are events by themselves. Maybe they should become "Unique Master. Put this card in play..." type of cards.

!malk! :OBF: :DEM: :cel: :cap6: Sabbat. If this vampire's bleed is successful, he laughs manicly and untaps.

"Grand Theft Auto" is actually too strong - you get to equip without an action (which is very strong) AND you get to pay (probably) pool cost with blood AND you pay it over time. And you can do it as many times as you want.

If there is a downside to this card, I don't see it.

"Homicidal Intent" might actually be too weak, since it only works on mortal allies. I'd make it either to work on all allies or ditch the master phase cost. Perhaps a clause that you can't have more than one 'mark' at any given time...

"Circumspect Discipline Use" is very very strong, especially in decks that don't bleed themselves. Again, I don't see a downside to this card.
