Thin Blood

Thin Blood
Vampire
group 6
No discipline, cap 1
caitiff.
independant. non unique. If the thin blood commits diablerie, its clan and sect changes to the diablerized vampire clan and sect.

Wod reference: many, from first book of the masquerade to last v5 edition. all describes the rise of the thin blood, weak vampire without (or almost without) disciplines.
they are unable to sire (that s why i put cap 1) as long they do not commit diablerie.
they are said to become the clan that their victim if they commit diablerie.

Use in Vtes: g6 has no cap1 vampire for the moment, sometimes people may want to fill a space in their crypt with something else than new blood or anarch convert (both are unique by the way).
their special ability is limited. it would be hard to build around it but it can spare pool on occasions:
- diablerizing an anarch while an anarch revolt is in play
- diablerizing a vampire whose controler play con boon (ok not sure the caitiff will survive the blood hunt)
- been able to play after a diablerie conflict of interest... or clan loyalty...

There is a reason why 1 cap vampires are not non unique. Because:

THIN BLOOD deck

---

Crypt:
30x Thin Blood

Library:
6x Informatin Highway
4x Dreams of the Sphinx
8x Effective Management
40x Computer Hacking
12x Leverage

Other than that Thin Blood is ok and cool.

cap 1 vampire put a lot of pressure on game beginning... but look group 1+2 makes 14 unique vampire cap 1 available... but still how many entries on the twda ?
I mean you have for LoP and for Smoke grenade mostly....
you have lot of options to get rid of them as prey: scourge, aranthebes...
and let s say a simple matasuntha anarch as prey...
and as predator: anarchist uprising and so on...

i don t say that the deck you were mentioning may make 1 vp before to get crushed (specially if you are first with information highway in first hand), and it would be faster than let s say other weenie (cap1 to 4) decks for first bleeds but still:
- it would not the bouncing power of a weenie dom
- it would not have the combat management of a weenie presence
- it would not have the pool gain and pool damage (and stealth) of a weenie dem
- it would not have the pool gain of a cultural exhibit or eldest are kholo

Have you played with this idea in your gaming group? If so, how did it turn out?
