I'd really love for a word or character count for crypt cards instead of how many lines we're permitted.

I'll ask Vincent what the character max for four lines of text is. There's gonna be some inexactness there, as different characters have different sizes since the font isn't fixed-width.

The number of lines is very important as it determines the font size (aka readibility).

I removed the Salubri clause, since there's only, like, a couple of Salubri cards. Most of them require Obeah instead. It seemed like the most redundant clause.

Yes, it was included for flavor reasons. At best it equates to +1 intercept if people use the Master card.

Should Samiel's hand strikes only be aggravated, or all damage? Even guns like Magnum? Would hands and melee weapons be more flavorful? I'm not that much familiar with the lore, but Salubri seem to deal with melee weapons mostly.

So technically he can channel aggravated damage into any weapon that he uses. Favor wise he is like a Ghost Rider in that his weapons transform into deadlier weapons when he uses them. That said, he would likely be unfamiliar with guns as he went into torpor before they were invented, but no technical reason prevents him from channeling his powers through them.

The longest crypt text that results in 4 lines using Vincent's card creator is Arnulf Jormungandrsson:

Camarilla: If Arnulf attempts to block, the acting minion cannot play action modifiers requiring Dementation , Dominate , Necromancy or Presence until the end of the action.

That's (I think) 187 characters including the discipline symbols. However, don't assume that every block of text that's 187 characters will result in four lines. It's a non-fixed-width font and sometimes word sizes cause inefficient line breaks.

Edit: I'll get this info added to the submission guidelines.

You got the name wrong. It is spelled Chuck Norris.

Feedback! Thank you. Okay lets fix him.

Simple version:

Samiel
10 Cap Vampire group 3


Sabbat. Samiel's damage is aggravated. In combat he treats aggravated damage as normal. He may enter combat with any minion as a action.

Character count: 139
Point totals:

Name	Modifier	Total
10 Capacity	+12	12
5 Diff Disciplines	+0.5	12.5
Disciplines Spent	-8	4.5
Agg Damage	-1.5	3
Agg as Norm	-1.5	1.5
Enter Combat	-1.5	0

Does that fix it? It should leave room if we need to add text for clarification. I am going to go back through verify all point totals and shorten text if possible for all of my submissions. Sorry, for the delay I was out of town for a VTES tourney.
