Reno by Night

What this chronicle actually runs

No licensed V20 book was in hand while this was built. The sheet enforces a creation reading that secondary sources agree on. Where those sources disagree, or where the book was not checked, the mechanic stays pending. This is not full V20 compliance.

TopicStatusNotes
Clan names and in-clan discipline trios seated in Renosecondary consensusVentrue, Toreador, Gangrel, Tremere, and Lasombra are seated. Trios match the White Wolf Wiki traditional lists, including Lasombra as Dominate, Obtenebration, and Potence. Brujah and Nosferatu remain in the rules module as unseated. The Malkavian clan is not included. Seating Lasombra in a Camarilla city is house history, not V20 metaplot. Page numbers are blank.
Clan weaknessespending bookQualitative curses are described in original wording. Numeric modifiers are not enforced where sources disagree or the book was not in hand. Nosferatu Appearance 0 and the Ventrue feeding note are enforced as sheet requirements.
Creation pools: attributes 7/5/3, abilities 13/9/5, 3 discipline dots, 5 background dots, 7 virtue dots, 15 freebiessecondary consensusWidely published Storyteller creation figures. Freebie prices match the White Wolf Wiki freebie table, which cites V20 p. 82. That page was not re-checked here. The ability name list is a working list and can be edited in the rules module.
Blood pool by generation, 13th through 8thsecondary consensusCommonly published figures. Lower generations and per-turn spending are not simulated.
Discipline powers, Thaumaturgy paths, rituals, combo disciplinesnot encodedNames of in-clan disciplines only. No power text is copied or automated.
Combat, soak, damage, frenzy checks, Rötschrecknot encodedA scene can be filed for the storyteller. The server does not resolve it.
Merits, flaws, derangement catalog, paths of enlightenment, experiencenot encodedHumanity is the only path on the sheet. This chronicle does not include the Malkavian clan, so no derangement is required.
Police and other mundane influence spendshouse assumptionA separate ledger from the V20 Influence background. Durations are labeled assumptions. Research returns only fictional chronicle files, and only after a storyteller releases them.

Clans

Brujah

Rebels and ideologues with a short temper. This chronicle's court does not seat them. The Lasombra hold the chair the Brujah used to have. That replacement is house history, not published V20 metaplot.

Not seated in Reno. Disciplines: Celerity, Potence, Presence (secondary consensus). Page reference left blank. Frenzy comes easier. Public V20 summaries add a +2 difficulty and say Willpower cannot buy the Brujah out of it. Those modifiers are recorded here and are not applied automatically until a storyteller confirms them against a licensed copy.

Gangrel

A clan of the roads and the wild. Revised-era metaplot has many Gangrel leave the Camarilla. This chronicle keeps a Gangrel primogen and a Gangrel sheriff in the Reno valley. That is the table's premise.

Seated in Reno. Disciplines: Animalism, Fortitude, Protean (secondary consensus). Page reference left blank. Frenzy leaves animal features. Sources disagree on whether each feature is temporary, when one becomes permanent, and whether Social traits fall. The sheet keeps a note. It does not change traits by itself.

Lasombra

In published V20 the Lasombra are a Sabbat clan. This chronicle seats them in Reno in the place the Brujah held. The sheet uses the traditional in-clan trio and does not import Sabbat rites.

Seated in Reno. Disciplines: Dominate, Obtenebration, Potence (secondary consensus). Page reference left blank. Their faces do not hold in mirrors. Public summaries also speak of trouble with recordings. The portrait grade on this site is a separate chronicle treatment applied to every uploaded photograph. It is not an encoding of this curse.

White Wolf Wiki, Discipline (VTM): Lasombra traditionally Dominate, Obtenebration, and Potence. Camarilla membership here is house chronicle, not a V20 metaplot claim.

Nosferatu

The Embrace ruins the face. This chronicle does not put them in Reno. There is no Nosferatu primogen and no warren under the river. New sheets cannot take the clan.

Not seated in Reno. Disciplines: Animalism, Obfuscate, Potence (secondary consensus). Page reference left blank. Appearance is 0 and cannot be raised. The creation check enforces that reading.

Toreador

Artists, patrons, and sensualists. Extraordinary beauty can stop them in place. They keep a primogen and the harpy in Reno.

Seated in Reno. Disciplines: Auspex, Celerity, Presence (secondary consensus). Page reference left blank. A Self-Control or Instinct roll may be required when beauty overwhelms them. Published summaries do not agree on the difficulty, so no difficulty is hardcoded.

Tremere

Blood sorcerers organized in a strict pyramid. Thaumaturgy paths and rituals are not encoded. Reno seats a primogen and a seneschal from this clan, two different people.

Seated in Reno. Disciplines: Auspex, Dominate, Thaumaturgy (secondary consensus). Page reference left blank. The blood bond is said to take hold after fewer drinks than for other clans. The usual figure is two draughts. The sheet does not track bonds yet.

Ventrue

The clan that treats rule as a duty and a privilege. Each one keeps a narrow taste in blood. The prince of this chronicle is Ventrue, and so is a primogen who is not the prince.

Seated in Reno. Disciplines: Dominate, Fortitude, Presence (secondary consensus). Page reference left blank. The character can feed only from a chosen kind of mortal. The restriction is required text. Feeding itself is not simulated.
