- They/Them
Also, I had a thought, after hearing some things over in the Exalted thread, and based on what I've seen in some Quests.
Would WoD work well with styles? LIke, because it seems that they'd add some differences that are often missing, and the three-dot/rank, unique and flavorful stuff (maybe that's because the Exalted clique here is just that good) that has been come up with seems pretty fun. Hell, stuff like this could be almost used straight out, with just a few modifications, or ditching a few concepts that don't exist in nWoD (this is from a Quest):
Even-handed Magistrate Style (Presence, Investigation)
Even-handed Magistrate Style is a style that is used to find the truth when it is being hidden, and to mediate fairly between parties that are attempting to cheat each other. It is commonly used by judges, leaders, and policemen.
1: +1 dice while attempted to mediate fairly.
2: +1 dice when acting according to the law.
3: +1 dice when resisting corruption.
Flowing River Disputant Style (Presence, Politics)
Like the river, it is often easier to say and go where one is expected to go - and only rarely expand beyond one's banks. Practitioners of this style remain within the bounds of social propriety and divert conversations to their goals rather than outright dam them. It is the reasoned arguments of one lacking in power who explains what they did was what was ordered all along and the excuse justified by social mores. Without knowledge of what is expected, this style is much less effective.
1: +1 to convincing others that one's actions are or will by justified based on cultural expectations.
2. +1 to reading another party and working out what they want from the practitioner
3. Ignore one dice provided by negative Principles, provided that the practitioner conforms to their perceived social role.
Tiger Style (Melee)
Created in China by Shaolin Monks, this style emulates the ferocity of the Tiger. It can be used in light armor, and it's form weapons are Tiger Claws, Brass Knuckles, twin swords, and unarmed attacks.
1: +1 dice against prone opponents.
2: +1 dice against enemies that have an intimacy of fear towards you
3:+1 dice to called shots.
Gangland Lord Style (Politics, Subterfuge)
Gangland Lord Style is not formally taught, though it is known by criminals from every corner of the earth. It covers the general running of a criminal organization, including how not to make enemies of other gangs, the etiquite of the street, and how to avoid law enforcement when performing illegal activities.
1: +1 dice to avoiding police attention while on the street.
2: +1 dice to knowing what each gang holds as territory.
3: +1 dice to selling illegal goods, such as sex, drugs, and other contraband.
