We probably do need to actually eventually focus on the more mystical side, especially since we're chasing Golconda now. But a third dot of Resources could help, it's true.
Okay, so we can buy another dot of Resource for 3 XP, I also think we should save up some XP for a retainer.Yep, hoping to get from Resources 2 to 3 to get three dots to spend each story. Cash rules everything around Kindred, creak, get the money, dollar dollar bill, all.
Let's save up to 20 XP, so we can spend it wisely. I have a plan to further out schemes, though I'm not sure what's a good way to make progress on Golconda. We can talk about details later on if you don't want to right now.We probably do need to actually eventually focus on the more mystical side, especially since we're chasing Golconda now.

I've just realized that I accidentally gave the Charisma + Persuasion option a +1 bonus instead of a -1 penalty, and have edited the last update accordingly. While the Presence Discipline mitigates the effect of Artie's Nosferatu curse, it doesn't completely negate the malus to Social rolls. @Andres, @Kebarton, would you like to change your votes in light of this new information?
Where are you getting those numbers from? Artie only has one dot in Charisma, and three dots in Persuasion. Even with Presence, Artie's Nosferatu curse removes a die from the pool. In other words, Artie's only rolling three dice.I think we'll have to, with this correction we'd be rolling 5 dice instead of 7. Our chance of success is very low.

The BOOST options lower the Difficulty of the ELEANOR rolls. They don't give you more dice.I was counting the +2 bonus from the Blood and Money for the 5. The 7 was from the forgotten -2 from Clan Bane.
Unless…does the bonus give us more dice or a lower DC?
My mistake. I just found that post.The BOOST options lower the Difficulty of the ELEANOR rolls. They don't give you more dice.
Precisely. The penalty makes the Charisma + Persuasion roll less likely to go smoothly compared to the Manipulation + Intimidation option, so I wanted to let you guys know.So to clarify the DC will change from 5 to 3. We will be rolling 3 dice, because of a typo Andres and I thought we'd be rolling 5 dice.
Now your checking to see if we want to stay with our choice or change our votes.
I'll make it a priority next XP purchase. When we try to make a good impression i think we use Charisma+Persuasion, when we try to convince people to our way of thinking I think we use Manipulation+Persuasion.Honestly if we want to keep on being the "not actually charismatic, but surprisingly charming if you account for the handicap" Nosferatu, we should probably raise Charisma to 2. Just chalk it up to more experience being social, even if we're never going to have it be that high.
Fair enough.Other options are too risky or too costly for not enough pay-off.
Naomi Stewart.Y'know what, yeah, we can bring her in later. Oh, wait, who were we gonna rec as her guide?
Sorry for the long wait, you guys. Tax season here in the US has kept me in the office for some time now, but as we get further into April, I'll have more time to devote to writing the installment of this Quest. I thank you all for your patience.
A word of caution: this roll only determines whether the mysterious Kindred stalker (or the house's inhabitants) detects you. Should you go this route, the difficulty of the next roll will be set to one, but the dice will still be a factor for subsequent rolls.[X] [SCOUT] I'll lurk inside the Kathys' house to get the jump on any burglar who breaks in.
-[X] I'll roll a Rouse check so the roll automatically succeeds.
Auto-success and it's the strongest tactic in our arsenal? That's pretty good!
I like their style. How much do they charge for a character sheet depicting Artie in various outfits? If that's something you can't answer, then what work did you have them do, and how much did you pay them?It depends on one's budget, but I've had some pretty good commissions with Renu.
