Submission: Mark Sandhurst

adding those put him in league with current snake punch minions, giving him a reasonable outlet for his d action and untap. There can be no "typhonic beast decks have too much support" complaints, because they aren't exactly winning every tournament, or any really.
Also, those just work better on setites anyway....

I am very much in favour of a few more warrior Setites in a cluster. My main complaint with most of them is that in isolation they're not bad, but it's hard to craft a deck around them as they're a bit sparsely distributed - so you don't have a nice range of vampires to pick from, to support you etc - the midbie with POT SER for obf, the 4 cap with pot/pre/ser etc.

Here is a new version based on feedback and testing:

Mark Sandhurst
8 Capacity Group 5

Camarilla. Once during your minion phase, Mark may unlock after a successful non-bleed action.

Here is the Math:
8 Cap = +9
6 diff disciplines = +1
9 disc = -9
ability = -1
=0

If people are interested... this is one of my playtest decks:

Sorry for entering this discussion rather late:
I am not if I want to see yet another Fortitude FoS in group 4/5, even though he cannot be the target of Eternals of Sirius.

What are your thoughts about other groups?

Group 6 wouldn't be horrible, as most of the vampires you would want to run him with are in Group 5. That said, fortitude isn't critical, if that is the sticking point we could replace it with something else.

After some thought, it might be best to drop for

Mark Sandhurst
8 Capacity Group 5

Camarilla. Once each turn, Mark may unlock at the end of a successful non-bleed action.

Reasons
1) This adds several potential non-bleed necromancy actions.
2) This adds a good cross over in group 4-5 with Cagliostro, Abdelsobek, Neferu and Seterpenre.
3) In group 5-6, in addition he can cross over with Count Jocalo, who really needs the extra support.
4) This addresses the concern that is too abundant in groups 4-5.
5) His base text makes unnecessary.
