To never see the sun or feel its warmth long night after darkened night through an eternity. We alone among all Earth’s creatures know what longing is, for we have given up God’s rest. We yearn for a single spark to pierce the gloom that descends upon us as we hide our faces away from each new dawn, night after shrouded night."''

We are oppressed by time itself, by the sadistic jest that is unlife eternal, lived for centuries. Immortality is not a blessing. It is the most monstrous of burdens. Of all the issue of God, none but we precious few know the pain that comes with centuries -- the weight of responsibility, the cumber of authority, the yoke that is power. And yet to yield up a morsel of it is to incur utter and total humiliation. We will not step aside. We will not degrade ourselves to give up control or share power with the young. Let all the harrows of hell come to our door seeking what we have built in many lifetimes of toil. I will drag them all back down to the land of shades before I surrender a blot of pride."''

| − |
| |
| − | === <span style="color:#000000;">'''Actions''' ===
| |
| − | Over the course of a game, a character will do many things. Some of these tasks are considered actions, while others aren’t. Actions are anything that might produce an interesting outcome to the direction the story takes. Trying to use a Discipline on the Prince, hiding in the shadows to ambush a rival pack, scaling a cemetery wall, attempting to forge a damning note from the Toreador Primogen, rending one’s claws through the guts of a frenzied Tzimisce — these are all examples of actions. One action typically takes one turn to complete.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In most cases, speaking and conversations aren’t considered actions. Although interesting developments may certainly arise from things the Kindred say to one another or to the other residents of the World of Darkness, talking is typically free in terms of game mechanics. The Storyteller may rule otherwise, such as whether a vampire manages to scream out the location where the Methuselah has the ghouls trapped before the sunlight burns him to ash, but for the most part, the game places as few limitations as possible on communication among players and characters.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It’s easy enough to attempt an action — just tell the Storyteller what your character’s trying to do and how she plans to go about it. Most actions — crossing the street or loading a pistol, for instance — are easy enough to be considered automatically successful. However, if you’re trying to cross a four-lane highway full of speeding trucks, or trying to reload while you’re hanging from a fire escape by one hand, there’s a chance you might fail. So when there’s reasonable doubt whether an action will succeed or not, you may have to roll dice to determine the results.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you need only one success to accomplish an action, the action in question is called a simple action. Actions that require more successes or longer periods of time to complete are called extended actions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== <span style="color:#000000;">'''Automatic Success''' ====
| |
| − | Sometimes rolling dice is unnecessary, particularly when the task is a relatively simple one for a character, or when there’s not much at dramatic stake to necessitate determining how well a character succeeds or fails. Remember, anything that streamlines play and reduces distractions is a good thing. Vampire employs a simple system for automatic successes, allowing you
| |
| − | to skip rolling for tasks that your character would find frankly mundane.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Simply put, if the number of dice in your dice pool is equal to or greater than the task’s difficulty, your character automatically succeeds. No dice roll is necessary. Mind you, this does not work for all tasks, and never works in combat or other stressful situations. Furthermore, an automatic success is considered marginal, just as if you’d gotten only one success on the roll. If quality is an issue — the dramatic necessity mentioned earlier — you might want to roll the dice pool anyway to try for more successes (although you still risk potential failure). But for simple and often-repeated actions, this system works just fine.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There’s another way to get an automatic success on a roll: Simply spend a Willpower point. You can do this only once per turn, and since you have a limited supply of Willpower you can’t do this too often, but it can certainly help when you’re under pressure to succeed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== <span style="color:#000000;">'''Reflexive Actions''' ====
| |
| − | Reflexive Actions In some cases, taking a particular significant action doesn’t actually take any appreciable amount of time. These actions often come as a result of or are triggered by other actions. In game terms, these are called reflexive actions, and performing one may break the normal sequence of play and action resolution. A reflexive action doesn’t require “taking an action” as described above to accomplish. Your character can perform one whenever the opportunity arises, and may also take his normal action, without any penalty.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For instance, spending a blood point to increase an Attribute is considered to take less than a second of game time — no dice are rolled, and your character can do this while doing something else. Soaking — withstanding the damage from an attack — is likewise a reflexive action. Making a Humanity roll is a reflexive action, though it may well lead to other, standard actions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In most cases, the only prerequisite for performing a reflexive action is that the character be conscious (or otherwise capable of choosing to take the action, in the case of dream sequences or other deviations from consciousness that still allow choice) in order to choose to do so. Unless otherwise specified, a character may perform any number of reflexive actions, and they don’t get in the way of anything else she may want to do in a turn.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== <span style="color:#000000;">'''Multiple Actions''' ====
| |
| − | Occasionally, a player will want her character to perform more than one action in a turn. For example, a character may be trying to search through a notebook to find a password while creeping stealthily through a hallway, or might be trying to sidestep an incoming attack while firing a pistol into her assailant’s gut. In such situations, the player can attempt actions normally, though all actions become more difficult as the character’s attention is split among them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The player declares the total number of actions he wishes his character to attempt and determines which of those dice pools is the smallest. He may then allocate that number dice among the actions as he sees fit.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''''Example:''''' ''You want your character to hang a sharp right turn in a stolen taxi cab while simultaneously screaming at the surprised cabbie in the passenger seat to calm the hell down or you’ll tear him in half. This is a Dexterity + Drive roll (for which your character has seven dice) and a Charisma + Intimidation roll (for which your character has five dice). Five dice is the smaller dice pool, and you may thus divide five dice among the number of actions you want to take. That is, you may allocate these five dice as you see fit between the driving maneuver and intimidating the cabbie.''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | At the Storyteller’s discretion, certain action combinations that are wildly disparate may incur a difficulty increase (see below) on top of the split dice pool limitations. Composing a stirring poem while showering an enemy with a hail of bullets is a task not lightly undertaken. As well, at the Storyteller’s discretion, splitting dice pools to a certain degree may well just be plain impossible.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Vampires with the Discipline of Celerity (p. 142) may take multiple actions without subtracting dice from their dice pools. These extra actions may not themselves be divided into multiple actions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== <span style="color:#000000;">'''Extended Actions''' ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === <span style="color:#000000;">'''The Difficulty in Rolling Dice''' ===
| |
| − | There’s no point in rolling dice unless you know what results you’re looking for. Whenever you try to perform an action, the Storyteller will decide on an appropriate difficulty number and tell you her decision. A difficulty is always a number between 2 and 10 (but generally between 3 and 9). Each time you score that number or higher on one of your dice, you’re considered to have gained a success. For example, if an action’s difficulty is a 6 and you roll a 3, 3, 8, 7 and 10, then you’ve scored three successes. The more you get, the better you do. You need only one success to perform most actions successfully, but that’s considered a marginal success. If you score three or more, you succeed completely. Also, a result of a 10 is always a success, no matter the difficulty number.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The following charts should give you a good idea of how to combine difficulties and degrees of success.

| |

| |
