It is the number one cause of clan infighting. Factions have been formed around the most common was to say the name. These factions wage never ending and extremely savage war against each other. The only thing that unites them is that all Tzimitsce hate how the Camarilla pronounces their name worst of all. This is the true reason they killed there Founder and Formed the Sabbat, everything else is a distant secondary consuren.

Just a quick note on Ravnos: The bane doesn't say they can't stay in a place more than a week. It says they can't stay in the same place for a night if they'd slept there at all within the last week. Basically, they have to change locations *daily* and a Ravnos seeking to remain in a city better have himself at least 7 different havens, at least a mile apart from each other, for each night of the week.

Just binged this. The fact that the new powers are all amalgams feels fitting with the new design aesthetic, but it also means that the more recent clans feel a bit more like dlc characters than part of the game itself, if that makes sense? Like it’s clear that they’re a later addition to the game. They’re still awesome, but I still got that impression. Same with the banu haqim, though flavor is what really preserves things overall to make things feel good regardless (to make clear what I mean: it’s like how each of the other main clans has a mix of the 7 disciplines, and while some amalgams clearly call out to specific clans, those amalgams aren’t tied to there identity. Hell, even premonition and dementation aren’t solely malchavian anymore. Whereas now you can clearly see entire other discipline trees are trying to be distilled down to one or two abilities... except tsimisce. They get basically a full discipline tree, just without a level 1 and with a 2 dot domination tax) The new ghoul rules and clan merits are genuinely just awesome, as it feels like there’s more flavor in how the world interacts with itself.

Yeah I’m not too hot on mixing disciplines and I think that is unfortunately going to be Modiphus’ fingerprints left on V5 going forward.

The Tzimisce were my absolute favourites in Vampire: Dark Age. I always disliked the fact that they were strictly Sabbat only in VtM, whereas *everyone* got Antitribu. It seems to be more open now, so maybe I can play one in the future. What would a Camarilla or Anarch Tzimisce look like? Maybe a bit like Duke in Stitch or Alek in Sunkissed. I do find the idea utterly interesting. The noble beast. Inhuman in their perverted rules of conduct, thus distant, cold. Inhumane in the core of their abilities. Do they lean into that? Do they rationalise it? You would have to be detached from certain moral ideas, for just using certain of their powers and playing someone who is still clinging to their human side... As a philosophy teacher I would love to play the shit out of a Tzimisce character in the modern age. And btw: Me being from Germany I also don't know how to pronounce the name but had different ideas altogether from what you anglophone people do. I've always pronounced it Tshi-MIS-Ke. Had the slavic sound to my ears I associated with the voivods.

That would be a completely acceptable pronunciation for a German. In American English, which isn't English English, most likely "Zi-MIT-ze" or at the least, the community of players I moved amongst were pretty consistent. I don't think this host got it wrong either, for real English, but I'm sure there's room for more than one pronunciation too. But I hear that a ton of folks who add phonemes that aren't there, and sometimes while extra syllables.

Nice video analysis, the reason one of the nicknames for the Tzimisce is Stokers is cause one of if not the most popular Tzimisce is actually Dracula. I also wanna put this out there, are you telling me that Zaphatsura, the Ravnos antediluvian, was supposedly killed and no one questioned it ? even though they're signature powers are creating illusions ? Antediluvians are godlike in their own right are more powerful then any other vampires so imagine how real the illusions created by an antediluvian would be meaning there could be a rogue antediluvian wandering the streets somewhere and everyone just presumes he/she/it is dead.

I've never played a Salubri or seen them in a game, so the fact there are just seven of them means they've not even been a blip in my games. But I'll say one thing for them - I'm really impressed that they've managed to maintain their number in the modern nights, despite their reputation and how much they must have a target on their heads.

I think that I definitely need to look at this one as a lot of the things you mentioned (merits/flaws for ghouls, clan weaknesses etc...) seem to be callbacks to the 2nd/3rd Ed rulebooks of the 90s (which was when I last had a group that played 👀). I still have them sat in my office so I can do a bit of a comparison - I think that the V:TDA will probably be the most instructive as that's where the Tzsimisce and Salubri really got fleshed out. I can't say that I'm a fan of losing clan disciplines though, but I can see how it makes sense in the newer editions as they've moved more towards Caitiff than ever before.

Mechanically I don't think Viccitude goes far enough. I know the general tone is play your own way, but the instructional guide of Viccitude being limited by your protean level feels too restrictive for a power that's supposed to be advanced shape-shifting. I think it would be best that instead of the number of changes being restricted by the level of protean; the first change should be free with each subsequent change requires a rouse check. That way its a more a risk reward system.

So before I start let me just say I love the way they added these clans and abilities. However, I have one complaint. Valarian is the name for the power to actually heal the body. The reason that bugs me is thats the name for the worrier cast of sulubri. They used those abilities as a weapon rather then to heal others which is what Obeah was. You could argue that its because the clan has been (to put it nicely) disbanded do to the tremere. That being said the worrier cast (according to the lore) survived by joining the sabbat and becoming the Furies. So why was an ability that was meant to harm being used for the name of there ability to heal rather then what it was meant for?

I'm not sure why they made the Banu Haqim the ones most addicted to Salubri blood, since I believe they were allies historically. Also, the Tremere are RIGHT THERE, ripe for the historical diablerie referencing.

I really like some things in V5 (hunger instead of blood pool, tenets, etc.) but I'm against the amalgam powers... The power weren't really a problem before and gave something unique to each clans. A player character could also choose to not make the stereotype of a specific clan and maybe go back to it later on in the game. Now, powers are all very concentrated in a few disciplines that you can't have multiple times. The almagams are very limiting also. Most almagam powers have prerequisite which for a character down a path. At higher lever, they also make the previous power almost useless. The first Chemistry almagam is you can make tiny illusion. The second allows you to make bigger illusions. The mechanics can differ but the flavor of the powers are the same. Same problem with Vicissitude, first power allows you change yourself; second power allows you to change anyone. It effectively replaces the previous one. I don't really understand why they went this direction...

Same. Ravnos was my first character in VTM. So fucking fun. The clan weakness of having a vice was perfect. I chose Avarice. I roleplay that weakness often, on top of my GM putting me in positions where I have to contend with it. It has gotten me in alot of damn trouble. It has also gotten me into some great scenarios. Chimerstry is strong as heck, for sure. But, not unbeatable (at the lower levels anyway, heh-heh). But, a clever GM (which I have, the bastard) should be able to handle and keep the pressure up. If anything, it has made my GM RAISE the difficulty on me. Not in terms of enemies' power and such, but in terms of enemies' Intelligence, their awareness and such. And it is a unique power; in these modern nights, I haven't come across any other Ravnos (I'm in Manhattan). I'm guessing, that the developers have done this, because they have heard horror stories of players being douchebags with the power, abusing the rules and restrictions, being meta minded, and giving (weak-willed) GMs a hard time. Of course, there are people out there like that. It's up to GMs to establish boundaries and expectations. I'm ranting. I was very excited to hear about Ravnos getting love. Glad they got attention; it establishes them as a still viable clan. I just, hate the hate that they have gotten, and hopefully the new powers haven't been nerfed badly. Also, I am a conspiracy theorist in game, and I contend with the idea that Zappathasura's death was a grand illusion, a top tier execution of Chimerstry at its highest form. Probably not, but I like to think so. Also also actually actually; If Zappathasura is actually gone, then when the Antideluvians awake and consume their descendants, Ravnos will remain. Ravnos will make sure that Kindred carry on, even after the rest of you pompous clans are Antideluvian poop.

the overall of the companion it’s pretty good. let’s say the truth: people would have preferred disciplines and not amalgams, but this is V5 so let’s be open minded: - tzimisce have many new powers. you can call it protean but it will work, basically you miss the free level 1 new power - salubri the new powers can work...the clan bane it’s a good idea but only a play test on the long run will tell if it’s balanced or it’s too hard - ravnos, meh. great clan lore revision and interesting to be played. ...presence fills with the new character style but...in spite of fortitude for a man always on the road? (moreover, come on read the 5 powers granted by fortitude and compare them to presence!!) and this makes the brotherhood with clan gangrel crumble. gangrel wanderer more phisical oriented (protean) ravnos wanderer more mental oriented (illusions) two faces of the same coin. and it was cool. powers are totally unbalanced for me: - chermistry it’s a level 2 that with the amalgam costs as a level 3 for just a distraction. - fata morgana, the mechanics are really interesting but due to the amalgam with the same amount of xp spent a gangrel can: see in the darkness, have no weight, have claws, melt with the earth and turn to mist... =0| this same gangrel can be immune to damages, fire and sun too... but you as ravnos can charm...so nothing to be worried about, no?

Well, after previous books finally made Salubri of all three castes usable, this went back 50 steps and made them ridiculous. This tasty blood thing also comes from out of nowhere. At no point in the history of Vampire was that a thing. I feel like they are really going overboard with changing stuff, V5 was meant to be a continuation of the setting, not a rewrite. Those sneaky writers just tried to finally get us to like the newest requiem haha.

Tzimisce are my favorite clan since I started played the game, I like the new perspective on the clan but I have mixed feelings with the disciplines on one hand I love the inclusion of nomination and the way they adapted Viscisitud, on the other, I'm already missing auspex

All in all I love the guide. It made Ravnos interesting enough for me to consider actually playing one, I actually like how V5 made the Tzimisce closer to the old clan Tzimisce in older editions. My main gripe is that I feel Salubri essentially got hit with a double bane....which on top of the already dangerous challenge to even be one (given the Tremere smear campaign of centuries past), seems a bit too harsh. The essentially 'eat me' vitae is fine, the third eye is fine. The third eye weeps vitae when you use *any* power is BS, and something I'm going to ignore in my own games.

Changes to Tzimisce are terrible. They remove all the mysticism, removed the transhumanist ideas. Dumbed them down and turned them into hoarders Replaced it with this AD&D literal interpretation of Dragon. This hasn't made them more usable. This has made them less so. I was so excited for v5 and I get this kitchy reinterpretation of my favorite clan. Its made them petty capitalists without taste. Cant wait to see a bunch of lulz so funny funcopop collecting Tzimisce.

Have to disagree with you on this one. The Ravnos and Lasombra have been nerfed into oblivion, pun intended. They have been changed to over correct that people got away with power gaming them in the past if the storyteller wasn't paying attention. Now they are "you can play them if you want, you will just be weaker than everyone else".

If you want to know how to pronounce Tzimitsce or Ventrue, how about you actually play VTM: Redemtion, Everyone keeps talking about Bloodlines like its the best thing ever and absolutely nobody talks about its predecessor, wich in my opinion is just as good! Despite having Clunky Combat System!

@@VexLament and that’s one of the problems, so now if you want to play a salubri, you’re strictly stuck playing a Fury of the sabbath. It just seems like a major fail in my eyes, why even bring the clan back if the purpose wasn’t for players to utilize them as characters. V5 did more the Nagaraja and all the other clans of the dead, and these clans were in the same boat of being nearly extinct. Don’t want to sound petty but it’s a major waste.

The only thing that truely matters is how you want to play them, they're designed in a specific way with lore in mind but that's all secondary. The lore and rules in the book are there to give ideas. I don't think the Salubri have really been given all that difficult of a situation that people won't play them or they wont fit into other sects etc.

@@StrangeAdventures I get you as a storyteller and player can choose to not include these sets of rules in your games. But it’s still a waste. No castes, no unique holy abilities, were now force to help anyone with a problem, when before it was strictly helping of the weak and innocent(and only for the Warriors mind you) Again I hate to sound angry, it’s just disappointing to see that no effort was even attempted while other bloodlines were given complete makeovers and made useful
