Clan: Salubri Disciplines: Auspex, Fortitude, Obeah Sect: Independent Nickname: Cyclops Background This widely hated bloodline has far more enemies than it really desrves. Only seven of these Cainites exist at a time, for after a Salubri attains Golconda, she ends her existence and passes her blood to the individual she has chosen to take her place. These vampires usually pass as humans until someone notices that they possess a third eye. Other clans perceive Salubri as murderers and diablerists of the worst kind. The power to heal is nothing at which to scoff, for the might of Obeah has saved many lives. However, there is more to this Discipline than just healing. It provides a form of control over other people's bodies and spirits. Obeah seems connected to the Salubri's third eye, and any Kindred learning this Discipline will also start to develope the eye. -- Vampire Players Guide, Second Edition V:TES Notes The Salubri cards mix well with the Ventrue antitribu and the Harbingers of Skulls. Each of the Salubri vampires is marked "scarce" (See Nagaraja Preview), so they aren't suited for a single-clan deck. New Mechanic: Burn Option Some library cards have a "burn option" icon above a clan icon (the clan requirement) on the left side of the card. This symbol (only found on cards that require a clan to play) indicates that during any Methuselah's untap phase, the Methuselah can burn (discard) the card from his or her hand if he or she doesn't control a ready member of the clan required. Each Methuselah is limited to one such discard each untap phase. Card Preview Sight Beyond Sight Master. Salubri. Burn option. Unique master. Put this card on a Salubri you control. The Salubri with this card gets +1 intercept. This is another card designed for mixing Bloodlines clans with other clans. With Sight Beyond Sight you get cheap permanent intercept. And if you don't get your Salubri out for whatever reason, you can discard it freely (to avoid clogging your hand). -- Robert Goudie Chairman, V:EKN rob...@vtesinla.org

With the new mechanic "Burn Option" [below] does this imply that a Methuselah can burn one of these cards during any Methuselah's untap? Meaning I can burn at least 4 "Burn Option" cards before my next turn comes around? Just wanted to be sure I'm clear on this.. Bernie _______________________ [ quoted text not captured ]

Assuming five players at the table (and no Dramatic Upheaval/Reversal of Fortune style shenanigins), yes. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D EBD690ECD7A1F If I had a dick, I'd go get laid.

That it has to stay Salubri to use the intercept causes problems for the Clan Impersonation Scarcity avoiding strategies discussed previously. One wonders how wide-spread this will be.

Correct (and you can burn another on your own untap). -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
