Some Gangrel Card Ideas

Scattered in the Woods
Reaction
Gangrel
Only usable during a action against you.
Reduce a bleed against you by 1 or increase the cost of a action targeting one of your cards by 1 blood.


City Aversion
Master
Gangrel
Only playable if all of your ready vampires are Gangrel
Actions by other Methuselahs which target your minions have -1 stealth and cost +1 blood. You may tap a Gangrel you control to reduce a bleed against you by 1.


Shape of the Inner Beast
Action
Protean
1 blood
Frenzy. During this action this vampire may not use any equipment or retainers.
Bleed at +1 bleed and -1 stealth.
Bleed at +2 bleed and -1 stealth.

Beautiful! The Gangrel need our help.


How about making the Shape of the Inner Beast card a dual discipline card with Animalism and drop the -1 Stealth penalty or the blood cost?

Not feeling enough power/theme working on the first one, second one is too much(which you will laugh at once you see the next few ideas i post, but still) and third is......

Not terrible, but add "no more action modifiers can be played to increase the amount of this bleed" and +1 strength to superior.
I dig it. So, Ariadne can have tier of souls, and deep song bleed, play shape of the inner beast, and then use one of 3 stealth options or 1 block denial (2if given abo for dc throat). She, or anyone who can afford it, can pay 5 blood and two cards to make a bleed unblockable and at +2

I wasnt going to do action modifiers for just protean for bleed, but you convinced me.

Id add the above changes, and if needed, dual PRO ANI and say as above, and any vampire with capacity less than 5 and mortal allies cannot block this action.


Dont like the others though.

Edit: i dig shape of the inner beast so much i may just keep bumping this thread. Seriously.

Careful. By costing a blood, you prevent actions taken by Imbued, War Ghouls, Shamblers etc.

I can't put my finger on it, but it feels a bit off. Maybe because Protean has been historically quite good at stealth and unblockability.

Also, I might change the restriction to something maybe like: "During this action, this vampire may not use any equipment or retainers, unless they require Animalism ." Which is basically trying to say "No using JS Simmons or .44 Magnum or Polaris Coach, but you can go into a frenzy with a Murder of Crows swooping in after you, because that's kinda cool." (Technically, you could get stealth this way with Jackal. Good luck with that.)

Considering the canon ability "Shape of the Inner Beast" effectively turns you into an animalistic raging murderous nutjob... using 8th Level Protean (no animalism at all)... Seemed worth it to add a little negative stealth for the crazy animal thing on a murderous rampage.

The first two are just riffing off the same idea... Gangrel don't have 'seats of power' they don't have 'big enclaves of influence'... they're scattered around the place, hard to find, etc, etc, etc. A Gangrel turns up when it wants to and is gone fishing for the rest of the time.

Note, he has it listed as an Action, NOT an Action Modifier. So, no teaming it up with Deep Song bleed.
