The Judges were once feared as the assassins for hire who specialized in killing the undead, yet with the rise of one of their oldest Methuselah they have now been forced to choose sides in the eternal Jyhad, and have brought their killing techniques with them into the 21st century.
If you're new to Vampire: the Masquerade, or are looking for further inspiration on how to play a Banu Haqim, hopefully this video will provide what you're looking for.
In this video we will look at some of the common phenomena of Banu Haqim unlife, discuss their relationship with other clans, and of course take a look at how their Disciplines may help them survive the World of Darkness.
Thank you for watching!

Honestly the Banu Haqim are one of the most underrated clans in the game IMO. There’s just, so much you can do with them? Idk I just think they’re rad.

Hard disagree, they're easily the second worst clan in the game. First being the Toreador, of course. Between featuring the Second Inquisition and the Society of Leopold, a clan made up of religious assassins, who take it upon themselves to protect mortals from the cruelty of vampire society just comes across as being redundant. You could honestly remove the Assamites from the setting completely, and it would not have any impact on the setting. If I could alter the setting in any way, I would remove the Assamites completely, then take their weakness of vitae addiction and give it to the Tremere, since that sounds like a far more logical weakness for their clan to have, given its history and origin.

This is timely as I recently started playing Banu Haqim. A Prussian lad of 12 who embraced to be companion to another child bodied judge only for the elders at Alamut require that he aid her and the clan in their work in order to justify the embrace.

Will you be doing a How to play a Hecata video ? That might be hard since the clan has multiple bloodlines that you can play as, but I'd love to see your approach to playing one.

@theferalacademic 2 жыл бұрын

ohh yes please seconding this!! the hecata have always been so hard for me to grasp because of this - maybe it could be broken down by bloodline to make things more digestible (and keep the videos under documentary length).

This gets recommended just as I did a VTM clan test and got Banu Haquim as a result.

When I caught up to this word of what happened to them I was incredulous at first, but if you really sit with what the end of their curse and fall of the Tremere it makes perfect sense.

I don't need instructions to know how to play one of these guys. You just remember the 3 S's: sneak, stab, succ.

This is a great video! With that said, what do you think of a Banu Haqim joining the Anarchs? I'm making a character who's a member of one and his main reason is that he views the Camarilla as not righteous, using the Traditions as a way to display cruelty and commit more immoral acts.

@thason3304 2 жыл бұрын

There’s a novel/game called Night Road in which the most prominent anarch is a Banu Haqim who came to the conclusion that the Camarilla is too focused on maintaining their own power to deal with the inevitable fall of the masquerade as humanity becomes more powerful. If you’re looking for non-typical representation of Banu Haqim, you could check out Night Road for inspiration

So basically, this is Assamites without Quietus

@pretentiousname01 2 жыл бұрын

They are the same clan. A renaming/branding in the new edition. Quietus has been rolled into blood sorcery
